If anyone has a spare rear fender for XL let me know. | |

. cheers jon, yeah it will look similar to yours, before your makeover that is. they are so simple and the cool mods are the popular ones, it seems like we all have similar bikes but i think thats only because we are always on here talking and looking at them, i wouldnt pass anything on the road in palmy that looks like mine or yours or anyones for that matter. there will only be a handfull of cool bobbers cruzing around and they seem to belong to all of us. COOL! | |

| yeah lowering kit is good if u wanna use it longer distance and keep your riding comfort etc, and saves changing things around. I have 11" BT type shocks on my sporty & it's a hard ride, and that's not even struts the absolute best setup i heard is road king 12" air shocks with 1" lowering kit, i started lookin round for some but didnt stay committed. it looks good and is comfortable. and they're satin black | |

| That's funny. I just caught up with this thread now and I was just thinking that this is where Jon61 started. I also quite like that ugly thing but then, most anything with 2 wheels has potential. | |

the coolest i reckon. shame the stupid yanks dont think so, when Shinya and Joe martin had a build off Shinya's bike was a thousand times cooler, but because Martin had a thousand coats of paint and was real shinny he won. i was very pissed when that happened. Zero bikes RULE! | |

Zero bikes RULE! yeah i saw that episode, and thought the same thing. also one episode there was a woman builder who built a very old school red bike with girder forks, magneto, kick start etc, prob one of the best bikes in the series in my opinion, and it lost to the same kinda forgettable bike you were saying that Shinya lost to. Zero's bikes are in Iron Man's garage tho, on Iron man 1 | |

| Damn maintenance getting in the way of customising!
gave the old girl some new front brake pads today, the old ones prob only had half a dozen more applications left in them.
also threw a new choke cable on it, the old one had been done up to tight and broke the bit that keeps tension on the rod, just cause its got ape hangers doesnt mean people need to tighten it up like a gorilla!!
gave the carby a huck out too, heaps of black shit under the diaphram | |
