Re: "Suicide Bomber" XLH883 project
The "finished" bike....
  whizzerick Yes, i can understand why... but remember the WW2 allied bombers where the pinup noseart is based on. At this time te bike got some new parts wich are my own interpretation for a Bomber/Bobber. Pictures soon... Any comment, suggestion will be appreciated. Thanks Last edited by Akeemking; 10-03-2007 at 08:40 AM. |

We still dont have MOT for motorbikes in Portugal... however i think will be fairly simple... lets see when we do! hehe Quote:
but "Bobber" is the style of the bike, but maybe i dont know what bobber really is... and "bomber" is the theme. Can you, or anyone brief me on the correct bobber style concept? Thanks. Quote:
maybe you can join us in the biggest Portuguese rallye next year. Last edited by Akeemking; 10-03-2007 at 09:37 AM. |

The test ride...
 After i bought it, i did this to her...   ...now is doing the seat; shortening the jockey and the pipes; removing the sissi; powder coating the handlebar, rear wheel and some other parts. Last edited by Akeemking; 09-16-2015 at 07:03 PM. |

Looks great! I really liked the pipes as you were making them, too bad they are wrapped up now.
