Bobbers (The new era of Rat Rod Bikes)

[MulhollandBikes&co]

I remember the one day I was rideing my bike to work and of coarse I here my favorite thing next to bicycles flying down the road, a motorcycle. BUT it was the strangest lookin thing. It had 20 inch apes, a tire from an old car (Circa 50's cos it was white wall) and it barely had coverage. It definately got my attention. The guy I worked with said it's a bobber. As soon as I saw that one I saw more, and immediately needed to make that the inspiration for my first build.

Yea, I love the bobbers too! I built this one from scratch in 2007. I've been wanting to do a pedal version since then but just haven't got around to it yet.

"How about a bobber build off right after the annual build off? I've got a frame that will work well as a bobber."

You guys are talking motorcycles! Oops!

And notice how the springs are on the seat and not on the back wheel. And a kick start. Marty ain't a sissy!

And with those tail pipes on the one side where you can get fryed on your leg I'd have to say I called that before you said it haha. XD

They say it's a bobber but I really doubt it, it's still a nice bike tho.

A panhead bike like this was originally a hardtail and kick only.

Kick starts the only way to go in my book. I'd love to get a nice panhead throw it on a really nice old school red indian frame, with an indian larry tank, 20 inch apes, springer fork, Back tire like this one, skeleton foot kick start crank, and lastly Road King Fenders. That's my dream bike.

Kustoms, do you know what exhaust system, i.e. brand and part numbers for the header pipes and cocktail shaker mufflers (bell tip or trumpet mufflers) you used and where did you get these from? I have a similar set on my 55 Panhead that I'm wanting to replace.
