PROJECT 929 "MEAN BOBBER"

[r3voltn1]

Well I am at it again....After riding around for a couple months I got bored of the look and decided to strip it down and go with little less "Vanilla Ice" and much more "Mad Max".

So here is the progress so far:

[Zooks]

I like it, very cool!! You need a better camera though mate. The blurry pictures make my head spin.

Then again, maybe it's the VB I'm drinking???

[Shadowzone]

That is just brilliant.

Your fab skills are off the planet man. Excellent work.

[CBRRRT]

Why is it my Blade looks so cool until I see yours, then it looks like a bag of plumbers spanners.

Well nice mate.

Thanks Jon but dont be so humble. Yours runs with the best of them not to mention your bike gave me inspiration before I even bought this one....I started off wanting a pre 99 blade because I wanted to do the sss-arm conversion. Then found a deal on this 929 and figured out how to do it.

4 paint jobs and body parts later.....I think I'm happy with it now.
Thanks again bro.

[CBRRRT]

Looks stunning mate

I'm starting to give mine a make-over now so its back to the workshop for us both fella.

Keep up the good work mate.

[ALBI]

I didnt expect everyone to like it. The seat had to grow on me too. I did spray my other tail to match just in case i wanna switch.
Thx for your honesty. :D

See if you could squeeze a 280 on the rear...that would be the tits.

[nick76]

Im still undecided whether i like this build,or your previous version better???
Either way,they're both awesome builds.
Two of my favourite Blades,and they're both the same bike!!!

[r3voltn1]

Got my leds working with a blacked out lens. Used some cool acylic from work and cut it out on a cnc router.

[Thursty]

Killer build mate wish I could fab like that.
The tail rocks!

[V8er]

Impressive fabrication, its an amazing fighter.

[disassembled]

Ah, That's where I left my socks.

Seriously though, looks awesome, you have some skill there mate.

[HOOTZ]

This is awesome mate. I soldered together my first lot of wires today, so I'm a light year away from this. Inspiring. Your next project will have to be a ripper.

[HackJobsRus]

Thanks HackJobsRus.......Its a VFR 800 arm slightly modified to fit. I used a Honda Civic aftermarket rim 8 x 18. Then poped a 240mm tire on. I had a friend machine some special spacers for tight fitment.

[Snoopy]

That is a tough littlr nugget of a bike! Like the low mount of the headlight. Looks tough bobbed off, are you considering a hugger for rainy rides?

[rod185651]

Mate, that is awesome!, your fabrication skills are outstanding, love your work.

[xa-mont]

not much a fan of that front part, but good on you for going something different.

[nick76]

The tail looks heaps better than before,with the extra bits and brake light on it.And i don't mind the front to much,the look of it reminds me of one of the confederate bikes.
Pics please!!

[CBRRRT]

Check out r3voltn's youtube channel for more super suxy vid of the bike.
