My bobber progress

[jrygrn]

I am gonna bob my M50. Im starting with an 07 M 50 in blue
So far all ive done is the Blue Collar Bobbers side coversy
I also made a bracket to mount thier 1930 Ford tail light but when I installed it there was short from the factory so they are sending me a new one. Ill add pictures of that when it arrives.

Next im going to turn my risers 180 degrees with the speedo relocation kit but im not sure if i will like it or not so I might take it back off. I have the new fenders already but wont be able to buy paint for two weeks so they have to wait a little while. Also I havent quite decided on a color yet , maybe Lava Orange?
The side covers were rather easy to install just had to relocate the brain Power commander and my brake light flasher but not a big deal at all.

Nice work so far, thanks for posting those pics of the side covers. I don't understand why the manufacturer didn't show both sides installed on their site.

They have a decent youtube video of the finished product you should check out

I just took a look, thanks for informing me of the video.

[jrygrn]

No problem

Looked at the '30 Ford tail light on Blue Collar Bobbers site, it will look really good on your bike. Neat idea. I am getting ready to have a little custom paint done to my tank, have to wait and see how it turns out. Putting the crest and motto of a 17th century ancestor in Scotland on each side.

I like that idea. I asked a manufacturer of radiator frames if they could custom one for me in the shape of a cross of the Knights Templar. I never got a response. It would look good in a black chrome if I could get it done. Looking forward to seeing your custom paint.

This weekend I was able to spin my risers around 180 degrees and fab up a quick bracket to mount my stock seat with out the fender.

I still need to trim up and paint the seat bracket

Next ill be ordering the front fender then doing the paint

Looking good!! I'm going to be ordering some small parts myself from blue collar. Side covers, front signal light kit and possibly the speedo relocation. How do you like the feel and look of your risers flipped? I'm curious because I'm torn between going with that setup or new bars. If you had to guess, how much more forward did the riser swap put your bars and how much upwards?

[jrygrn]

Id probally say like 3 up and 3 forward. It sure changes my riding position and im not sure if I like it or not yet.

[Cyclist1]

Thanks for your feed back. I'm can't decide whether to go with new bars or the same front end setup from Blue Collar Bobbers, as I've mentioned in another thread. I have been looking at their side covers and front signal kit, which I'm sure I'll be ordering in very soon.

I just removed my 3" lowering bones as the BCB kit works best at stock hieght . Took her around the block and man it rides different 3" higher now maybe ill be able to not have to keep replacing pegs! Anyone want the bones I removed on the cheap? Ill part with anything Ive removed cheap if anyones interested.

Ok today I ran it out of gas, and built a paint booth in my garage. The paint came in today ,I expect the front fender tomorrow and the new tire by friday . I have a three day weekend next week so im planning to paint then. That gives me a week to sand and change tires and build up the nerve to actually do the paint job!
I sold my car today so I have a little money for any thing else I need ,Its hard to belive in about a week and a half Itll Be all done I cant wait!!
