    Your bike, your sweat and blood, your cash. Nobody else's opinion matters. I think it looks deadly

    Pjb3 no longer visits these forums. Wasn't getting the support for his negativity that his ego needed, so he took his toys and went home. People may advise you and give you their opinions, but in the end, we strive to support.

    Where did this original bike go which Turbo was bobbing? It looked like it was gonna be a nice two wheeler. It's not my style at 54 years young, but then again it's a two wheeler creation. I'd like to have seen his progress and what? what happened? I see no more pics or explanations...which Turbo was giving us, did you guys chase a bike builder away?!? Turbo, get back here and post your project dude, it's a piece of art, come back!

    One good thing came from that fracas :pjb03 also left. We were too positive for him. Supporting home build bikes wasn't for him.

    Well, if he's not going to entertain and inform us on his bobber progress, then I'll show you my 1981 XJ650 Maxim conversion to bobber... grin and bare ;) I couldn't figure out where to mount the brake, so it's boot soles, and at least I don't need to worry about checking my tire pressure :cool:
