Thought id post some progress pics (and maybe some vids) taken at Blom Motorcycles over in Holland by our friend and collaborator Moto.nozem (aka DJ Shoe-Shirt)
We are doing this build hopefully in time for the Amsterdam DGR to show off some of our latest parts

We are starting off with this fine specimen, a rare and worthy beast - she's currently already had some Motone tweaks by her previous owner such as the Voyager rear fender rack which you can see below

First thing to do - Say so long to that Gigantic rear mudguard/light cluster - I think the stock rear mudguard itself is redeemable without the clown lights but best of all is to make it a bit shorter (or a lot shorter if you live somewhere that isnt where I live in Wales where it rains 366 days a year)

So this mudguard is the longer of the two we do for the rear of the Bobber - still offers some protection from the rain vs our ultra short we call the Razor

As well as the mudguard - you can also see the Black Cylinder Stud Knuckle Caps, Big Fin Exhaust Clamps and Finned Clutch Badge, also the Rad Guard and a Brass Gas Cap.

Here you can see our Bobber Sidewinder License plate bracket, for some reason unrelated to his moustache the license plate light bracket is on the top - in fact it works on the bottom just as well.

We are actually going to end up with 2 versions of this - 1 with a complete tail light (like our Eldorado) and one as pictured here with out.

Ive never been a big fan of the stock seat so it was one of the first parts we wanted to make for the Bobber, due to the fact we had to make the pan out of 4mm thick steel they did take us a liiiiitle longer than planned - but they ready now - we call it the Cobra - its also got some lugs on the bottom in case you want to mount some lights to it

This the Diamond Stitch version (aka King Cobra)

In case you are wondering "What about the taillights?"

We made some Brackets we call the Ajax that fit around the airbox mounts - however due to being an idiot I accidently sent them 2 right hand sides instead of a pair....

Luckily its all bolt-on parts - so in theory can be fit at home - or you can bundle it all over to your friendly local neighbourhood spannerman / dealer
