thorne Posted May 14, 2013 Report Share Posted May 14, 2013 (edited) Pics of my bike http://www.40roll.com/bike/Bikeside1.jpg http://www.40roll.com/bike/bikeside2.jpg http://www.40roll.com/bike/bikeside3.jpg Not mine but same model. I'm picking it up friday. I got it for a song because my parents are moving and my mom didn't ride it much. I plan to just cruise it around and enjoy the open road. It's got 5000 miles on it and been well kept. Edited May 16, 2013 by Thorne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KillJoy Posted May 14, 2013 Report Share Posted May 14, 2013 I had a '97. Great little bike! The thing I hated the most, is all the compliments I got until the guy realized it was not a Harley Mine: http://www.columbusracing.com/forums/picture.php?albumid=342&pictureid=2415 KillJoy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yesitsdon Posted May 21, 2013 Report Share Posted May 21, 2013 (edited) A true bobber has all the bells and whistles removed, leaving a bare bones, functional bike but in most cases, riders just remove the front fender, chop or remove the back fender, remove a mirror, remove any unneccessary plastic, lower it and possibly chop the frame depending on the model of bike you're bobbing. I'll post of pic of my 74 ironhead bobber What's a bobber? Edited May 21, 2013 by yesitsdon update Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Super comfortable bikes. Nice pick-up. -Marc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice pick-up. -Marc Not trying to bash them, they are comfy. Just saying that for a bigger guy they don't have the flying off the handle bars feel like the newwer ones do. The 1100's are impressive for what they are but there's a huge difference between the 750 and 1100 imo. The output its very similar but the rpm difference for when you get to that tourq thats the "feeling" i look for. Not to mention the majority of the mid 90's 1100's had a 4spd gear box while the 750's had 5spd gb's. Now on that rare occation you came across an 1100 with the 5spd option that would be awesome!! 13.5 from a set of pipes is definitely impressive from an 89. Correct me if I'm wrong, but they seemed to tone the mid 90's 1100 down a bit from the late 80's though. Not by much but enough to take notice performance wise.
