Vmax Bobber

[user 1261]

Some bikes look good as a bobber. Not this one IMO. The wires, relays, top of the tank all showing? What do you all think?

I think it’s ugly as sin. If there was a post on things not to do with a Vmax, this would be number one

Number two would be adding a 16" over springer...

I'm speechless that someone would do that to a vmax and think it was ok.

If it runs $1500 tops few more bucks to bring it back to it's dignity

Not my style

They stole the hand-held bell that the teacher rang to bring kids into the one-room schoolhouse, and used it for a headlamp housing!

I see very few 'bobbers' which are worth the time or expense to bastardize them. Incredibly, the people who build them think such crappy design/execution makes the bike worth twice what it would be worth in unmolested condition.

Not a fan of it either as I like the max the way it is (less lolly pops) BUT to each his own.
We all mod our bike and some I like and some I don't like the mods.
The seats/exhaust on our max's is a beef for me.
While the seat's "may" be more comfy and slip ons sound better,I like the look of stock better.
Now I don't go for 300mi rides but that's me.

He could have at least covered the wires to the seat pan tho!

Nope.....

 

[Redbone]

Not for me either!

 

[caseyjones955]

It's not my style either but I have to give it points for uniqueness. yea...... naw, I cant get behind this one.

 

[leecifer]

Ugly is right. I don't know why but that offends me on some level.

I think a different seat that actually covered the battery and wiring and a different headlight it might have a descent look. But as is it just looks poorly thought out, or almost incomplete.

"Look mom, I took off the saddle and now it's a bobber!":bang head:

The handlebar mounting is classic... classic as in break off in your hands classic!:bang head:

It reminds me of the Saturday Night Live skit about women needing to use a 'lower back tattoo remover' speed-stick, like a deodorant. Amy Poehler is in it. What looks good at 20 doesn't at age 65. The skit has a funny ending.

What starts out classic ends up looking like it the bastard it is. The Rickman Brothers called their dirt bikes metisse, French for mongrel, this is a mongrel.

Not much effort to make it into a bobber and it shows in the poor look of the bike.
