    I love the Bobber look but have yet to see one that can ride 2 people. Anyone have pics of one or is it not really a bobber if it has a 2 person seat? Thanks.

    Bitch pad.
    It's a little brick size pad that's stuck on the fender..
    Bobber generally means a single seat, but I've seen them with a bitch pad.

    I figured that was the only real option. Wonder how the wife would like that?

    Nick, just looked at your pics, great looking bike. What pipe is that??? I have a marshall deeptone 4-1 and a carbon stubby, i was about to cut them both up and try to make one good exhaust, however your pipe looks the business, is it a one off or off the shelf?????

    Plumber, (i used to be a plumber too)

    The exhaust system was on the bike when i got it last year but i do know that the complete system came off a Suzuki Bandit 1200 (full stainless system and it's LOUD)

    Unfortunately i'm not riding at the moment i have major engine issues and need a partial rebuild :-( - Am already really fed up woth driving the box.

    I just sold my spare engine to pay for the crash repairs or I could have sorted you out.

    How 'bout something like this:
    bitch seat with springs
    This is from a Royal Enfield I think but something could be fabbed using a regular sprung solo seat and some universal mounts

    That looks horiffic, you'ld need to be a mentalist to add something like that to a bike you've just spent months improving.

    My wife would kick my a$$ if she found out that her seat was just suction cupped to the fender.
