New Softail Springer Chop...Retro Bobber...Cool Bike...

[kizzzottt]

Doing this for a guy outa San Diego...I think its gonna be a cool bike when its done...not sure about the seat the customer's chosen, though....may fab up a mount to make it fixed and ride lower.

Anyway, here it is:

The seat looks fine you just gotta get rid of the struts so it looks more like a rigid.

Nice bike!

Agree. The struts gotta go. Otherwise, good looking bike. I take it the customer is worried about destroying the value of his stock frame? If so, let him no that there are about 8 million of those frames out there if he ever wanted to take it back to how it was.

yeah...they're gone... just a mock up

that looks great man!

In that case I'm excited to see the final product, you wouldn't think it would be that difficult for Harley to come up with shit that looks like this in the first place.

Good lookin bike.The seat looks good to me.

[Spacewolf]

Looks good to me. Id say if the seat post is a pogo then yes, get rid of it. A lower seat would make the bike look alot more streamliner and make it look more like youre sitting on the bike and not on top of it. I mean that one puts your ass at the level of the dash!

I dig it. The seat is cool and I actually don't think it is as high as a real pogo. Is the rear fender the front fender? Extra points for that. Are the tires AVON safety mileage? I keep reading those are rear only, but I would love to run one on the front.

As much as it may seem like it, we're not the masses that the MoCo is marketing to. I look at that as a good thing...if they made stuff that looked good straight from the factory, we'd have to find a new hobby.

That is a good looking bike. I am agree the seat doesn't fit very well.

[Gyllenberg]

Leave the seat, its perfect if its supposed to look "oldschool".. Fendersstruts gotta go though

[kizzzottt]

Seat is pretty high, but its the look the customer was going for. It is actually a very comfortable riding position and you have a lot of leverage over the bike.

Yes, the tires are the safety mileage tires and the fender is the factory front fender. Struts are gone. Waiting on the chopped fender to make it back from paint and then I'll do some proper shots.

Thanks to everyone, and I agree...if the moco built bikes like this....I'd be out of a job....so I say let them keep making basic bikes and then throw out a "Cross Bones" every once in a while to give customers a "taste" of retro....then hopefully those guys who buy them will make them look WAY better than the factory did.
