FNG after 15 yrs

so, its been a while since i had a streetbike.
i traded a buddy of mine a car i had for this.




she will get bobbed.as this may be a ppular thing to do right now, i could care less.i wanted a small bike i could bob out and was stoked to find a Kow that was in my comfortable size range.....
watcha think?
cheers,brian

That bike is in too good of shape to bob. Why not find something that's already mutilated and bob it the way you want and in the mean time keep this one as a daily rider? When you're finished making the bobber look like everyone elses bobber you can sell or trade the nice one and come out ahead. Ed

well, i tell ya what. i have modificus nonrehabilitus, and i am not sure that i am gonna make it . so , i wish to do what i want to this bike without purist hatred.... oh, and i also suffer from smarticus assidosis.

cheers, brian

No hatred here. I was just offering my advice. It's your bike - chop away.

Very nice, but yeah, that seat is in need of a trimming!

Get a manual, but for the time being, there is one in my signature.

I agree its to pretty to butch up but hey its yours do what you want with it. Dewalt makes a kick ass reciprocating saw that will make short work out of it

I failed Latin in school

i prefer a grinder with thin cutting disc.more detail oriented.
also. it is really , really clean......i will be getting rid of the seat all together, and adding a seat pan.

i signed up for my riders course(gets me past the red tape for an endorsement) today....got her registered on monday...

things will start moving along.i will at least get the drag bars on her this weekend.and put a new camchain tensioner on her to finger out the noise i have.then on to a new front tire, seat pan, mirrors, blah blah , blah blah....crap crap....

i am excited none the less.i have seen some cool pics and some weird pics.but i have a vision in my head.and if i do not accomplish it, i am afraid i will implode....
this bike is a saviour of sorts....

besides everything i own is modified,from my 93 cummins dodge, to my motorized skateboard.nothing can be normal.:laugh:
cheers, brian

edit:you are the awesomest......i actually asked today at the shop about the a manual.but i was not comfortable ordering a clymer as i did not know if it had actua;l specs........the clymer i have for my hondas was ok..but..

well, i had started ordering parts for her, got my "beginners" course under my belt, got my endorsement.all excited that my car show was done , and low and behold.....


i broke my foot, well, my big toe.on my left foot.into about 4 or 5 pieces....
sons of my bitch!!no shifting for a while......but, i will still gather parts....and work on her this winter...it is possible i may get SOME ridin in.....but it depends on the cooperation of my tarsal:P
anyways, so far i have a kerker 4 into 1.and the plans laid out for a rearend.
also talked to the old man, and he is sending me his leather tools hopefully.when he finds'em....:laugh:
anyways...when i actually do something .i'll pipe up....
cheers, brian

keep us posted!
i would like to viewificate the pictorial you have stored for this machine.
perhaps a bikeboatbike,i know early quyler would approveificate.

Earlie Cuyler: She was my dream, my muse. A vision suitable for the wide-screen format. I can still taste her fist against my face. The sweet sugary sweat from a lifetime of diabetes. A heartbeat you could hear from six blocks away. One big pump every hour.

cut away and go crazy i only own 2 stock bikes in my fleet of 14 and they will stay that way but the others i go crazy with. hope your foot heals up good, but one thing about it you will have more time to play with your new toy.
