I have publicly voiced my disdain on doing this kind of stuff to these bikes. On several occasions.
That said, You have finally done what I thought was impossible- hack up a GS into a bobber and create a well-made piece that actually looks professional and presentable.
A HEARTY well-done to you sir, and your other creations are 100% hooligan excellence.

Silverkrown-I think it sounds awesome, they are sorta loud, but in a good way, not Harley loud, but throaty "racetrack" loud.
Rooster- I am in no way an engineer, but I think the structure set-up with the rear triangle should be fine, I know the welds will hold up, so far everything else has stayed together
Richarr-That was fantastic! Looks like great fun!!
Jola-Don't be a bobber hater! LOL, Glad you liked it.
Groundshock- Thank You, by far the best compliment I have ever received. "100%hooligan excellence", that is classic!

As I watched the ol' Soapbox video, I forgot about this one, Gravity Racer #3, The Belly Bomber!
Many called it the Death Machine, but it sure was fun.
I had the top speed of 29 on that little hill, but it felt like a thousand mph on that thing! Just thought you guys would get a kick out of the stupidity!

Air filters?
Air filters?
What did you use for the filters?
I really like that look! I'm trying to build a GS powered chopper and I'm in need of air filter ideas.
Thanks!

The filters I got from a friend that works at Mikita.
It was a filter from a cement saw
It was a larger square piece that I cut into 4 circles.
I first cut a small metal screen into a circle the same size as the stack. Then used a little high heat gasket sealer to hold the filter snug in place behind the screen and then then tightend up the clamp.
I have black ones in now, The ones in the picture were all he had at the time.
I'm sure a local power tool repair center could hook you up.
Her's a shot before paint and you can see the split and clamp.

awesome job. I am inspired to try something similar in the future.
Besides the jockey journal, what other websites would you recommend that have Japanese bikes for reference. As much as I like harleys, i always like seeing "alternative" bobbers/chops?

hey kenny
looking great i thought you have to fold those legs up when riding but it looks comfortable to me.
question: how many miles can you drive with that tank(2.2 or 3.1 gallon??) ?
love the sephia pics always look better than full color(but thats my opinion).
wally
ps. do you have a video of the sound???????
