MUCHADO's bobber build

MUCHADO · Mar 4, 2011

I bought my bike a couple weeks ago from an wax-curled mustache guy up in St. Joseph Missouri... I was pretty stoked it came with a big windscreen, beer rack and fringed tool bag.

Stock

Started molesting it this week:

I'm using the TC bros hardtail (yes I've read mixed reviews), "axe" tank and biltwell seat

going to order the gordon scott curved drag exhaust soon (just sold my 2-1 mac setup), change up the rear tire and make my own bars... Hoping to have it rideable by early April.

Buy the Apple Care plan for the IPhone.

Looks good so far.

Oh yes I have it! ha ha... Might decide I don't like it and end up running a small speedo--but I figured it's worth trying.

These will be on their way shortly.. They look AWESOME! Kudos to Gordonscott engineering... http://xs650exhaust.com/

Curved drags with turn outs

were the lane splitters in the pic the bars that you made or the drag bars in the earlier pics?

bsdoig · Mar 30, 2011

Which iphone application you using?

Nice bobber. I didn't know the iphone had an app like that. I may have to look into that as well.

Question - is it legal in your state or will they require a speedo? I'm thinking of going the same way, but not sure if I can get it registered with a removable speedo.

Its a HUD (heads up display). Sweet "FREE" app.

with that app, does someone make an adapter to place it between the bars and an adapter for the wiring? sorry for the confusion, just how does it work together? really interested...

after re-reading through this i'm guessing a mounts just fabbed up and the app runs off the iphones guidance system for speed?

jeezus-f-ing-krise that looks familiar!
I had to mount my biltwell the same way. Are those TC mini apes? I'm using a sporty tank and am in the process of building a 21" drum front.
