man lovely bike no front break haha watch out your front break does 70% of ur breaking so your breaking distance is more than double what it would be if you had it so what out if you need to suddenly stop for something :D lovely bike man :)
Also I´m curious about how lighter your bike got after you stripped her, are you saving fuel?I agree the original tank is ridiculous, this one is much better.What about the performance?
its about 200kg right now. Don't know about the fuel, every bike is economical compared to my v6 car. It seems faster, but 100km/h on a rigid bike seems too fast. Especially when you don't have your front brake
Gargantus, some people told me these flyrites frames are 1 inch from the ground, it doesn´t look like, can you confirm that? Cause imagine having to break the bike and cross road gaps like the ones you see in LA and sure in my town here in Brazil(they build that in almost every street to control floods), that would by a weird ride. I see your bike is even with that 21 front wheel, how are you dealing with the bumps?
Well it depends on the wheels you are using. Check the flyrite gallery, you will see some different bikes over there, with different ground clearance. When I had my stock 16 wheel and stock dunlop tire it was rather low, but then I put the avon smII and it went up. I live in Poland, and our bad road are kinda legendary, but its ok. You just have to use springs under your seat, and know the road your riding, if you want to ride fast
ok. It looks like a Brass Balls Bobber, they´ve some videos here, but with simple gear, looks great, very long frame,did you buy the frame? if not, what brand is that? I was quiting the idea of making a Bobber from a Sportster, but this video might change my mind.Sorry for all these question, I´ve happy to find this video.
Well This frame is not long at all - its a no stretch, made in Poland to look like flyrite frames - it was too expensive to ship it to Poland. Feel free to ask more questions if you want to.
Right. Is that a 33º rake, like the flyrite frame? Did you use many parts from the original Sporster, like the fork and wheel? About the wheels, front 21, rear 16?
Yeah, 33 rake. I intended to use much more parts from my sportster but no can do.. The forks are stock sportster hugger, the front wheel is from a sportster custom, 21 inch, rear wheel 16 inches, avon SM tire. I've tried to use the stock gas tank but it looked like crap. The headlamp is from a dyna street bob, also I've managed to use the stock belt, but I think the flyrite's will only accept chain drives.
Awesome, beautiful build!

hey I'm wondering where you got the handlebar from or did you make it yourself?
loveanianimeme 2 years ago
Hi, yeah I did it by myself for 2$;] But they were very uncomfortable, keeping balance while riding slow was a bitch
Gargantus 2 years ago
May be they should have been a little wider.
loveanianimeme 2 years ago
Hay, can i have the measurements you used 4 the bars?
