I'm not a bobber fan, but that is one I'd like to try. Nice work.

Do you have some screens or filters in the carb stacks to keep critters out?

Lack of decent brakes is kinda the point of a bobber. Anything that don't make it faster dont need to be there.

I dig!!!

Cool ride but I have a question. It appears to be a jockey shift with a hand clutch, right? Do you pull in the clutch with your left hand and reach over and shift with your right?

I just added the dyna ingnition system and if anyone is thinking about it don't hesitate! MUCH better... sooo smooth now and power has improved I can feel it! I've had the accel coils on it for about 5 months and they really came alive with this system. EASY to install too.
