If you built a bobber what frame and engine combo would you use?

[@MadMotoInc]

Honda CG250, custom frame. 👊🏽😎

[@staffanakerhjelm9780]

Harley engine, custom frame, single loop!

[@davekennedy9060]

It's a bobber so mids. No rears. Short mudguard. Pipes with heat shields.

[@bearbergmann2782]

Just found this...love it! Pipes with guards, floorboards, no mudguard.

[@bishop883i]

Mid pegs. Use the pipes with the metal guards. Then shorten front guard. And drill holes in it the same size as the pipe guards. Gives it the light weight look you seem to be chasing

[@rodcruikshank5815]

Footboards with forward controls, black pipes with cover sleeves and yes, put the front and rear guards on but have em short k? Also a p-pad with a mid back sissy bar, with the corresponding pegs of course.

[@Hamster2196]

4:05 Ey! I made it in the video! Hahaha! Sending all my support from the Philippines

[@tonykeast9966]

Mid controls. Cut down mud guards. Heat shields. Pillion accommodation... but only just barely. Belly rub for Frank. One for your old man too.

[@benmorris4650]

Build coming along nicely ,run mids and cut front mudguard down

[@borealmetalworx]

Guarded pipes / forwards / chopped mud guard on front / full fender with rear seat - Cheers

[@sjparki]

mids with the drilled heat shield pipes... the wrapped ones look shite. chop the rear mudguard shorter too so cant take a pillion... its a bobber, not a sunday outing for the whole family! ;)

[@blacksmithsligo]

Really enjoying this build.

[@Kane-O-Mansfield]

Those foot plates would look dope, what about a half size front mud guard? Bike looks awesome lads!!!

[@markgibson7958]

Brilliant, loving the new format and getting all involved

[@staffanakerhjelm9780]

Heat shield pipes, mid control floor boards!!!, rear fender only, no passenger seat or pegs

[@HairyMTB]

Forward pegs, this should not even be debated :P

[@deney54]

Mid Pegs, And a Fender..... Yep

[@millinutz]

What you've built so far is great. Now with mudguards, front and back, the front one a little smaller, plus fitting boards, not pegs to make a unique style. Then last of all a small airfilter and a black paint job for the rest (to help enhance the tank). So far, this is looking like a bike that would look good in my garage.

[@stephenroberts8361]

handlebars long t bars cut short nuts welded inside the tubes to act as risers or cut short

[@jaredfrasure6351]

Foot plates, no rear foot pegs , fender for sure!

[@gmb5141]

Again a superb episode! 👌 Thanks for sharing. Pipes: definitely heat shields. Footrests: boards are not what I expected. But maybe it's what the bobber needs. Dare to use boards! As you said: if it turns out to be a bad choice you could change later.😉 Drive safe, stay tuned!🤘

[@HairyMTB]

Front mud guard ... first puddle you ride through you would wish you had fitted one. This bike is not a "Garage Queen" that only gets taken on really nice weather days. She looks like she is to be ridden, so build her accordingly.

[@benderbender1233]

im short so mids always!! bikes cumin rite along & is lookn purdy kickass!! 🤘😎🤘

[@alstone5257]

Mid pegs, and shielded pipes, with front of mud guard shortened a bit

[@anthonybates9928]

Foot plate forward pegs sleeved pipes

[@jay_behr]

I'm really liking the channel (and subscribed) and the build, but whenever people get a chance to vote on stuff like builds I'm always reminded of that superb saying "a camel is a horse designed by a committee", if you know what I mean :) ... although I'm possibly just salty coz I wanted the black tank to win :) The cone-ended oil tank was excellent too though ...

[@alexilot]

i love mid controls but the footplates might be nice to

[@bikerbrinrac]

Great the Glitter tank and Parry brothers oil tank will be great 👍 Yep the Speedo in the centre is cool 😎. Go the non wrap metal guard pipes. I think go the mid pegs rather than running boards, and yes do a front fender in the gloss black to match the gas tank.

[@iammike1196]

Definitely do the floorboards. I would also say the heat shield pipes would look best

[@impoppa9647]

Foot boards, and exhaust with the back guards. Definitely not the wrapped exhaust

[@clinkmoto7891]

Just subscribed and like what I see keep up the great work my man

[@millinutz]

The pipes with heat shields.

[@eugenewall6620]

Mid pegs with forward highway pegs for longer rides. That will give 2 foot positions to alleviate leg discomfort.

[@andrewbull3537]

A 650 royal enfield interceptor engine (cos i got one )and a hardtail frame for said engine . Fat back tyre ,springer front end ,single seat (sprung of course ,dont want to visit the kiniotheropist....again !!!!) 😁😁😁 well done gentlemen 👍👍👍,see you later, peace✌

[@jerryking1434]

Rear controls..like Bert Monroe ..lay down on the bike ..exhaust past your feet ..

[@KyleCorlett]

Pipes with heatshields for cleaner look, since you went with the nice tank. Run the full length gaurds, and do mid controls since you seem a little short 😅

[@janwoodworth5072]

Hi guys mike here any chance you one day, chop a 600 bandit and video it pls cheers guys mike, ;-)

[@bandiflip]

Wrapped exhausts have been done to death …. Leave the wrapping to Eminem .. go metal 👍🏻

[@stephenroberts8361]

i would have used original oil tank with the flat end harley logo in front

[@stephenroberts8361]

home made prism tank or coffin tank old school

[@MerlinZener]

I don't think forward pegs would work with those clipons. Either or, but not both.

[@bikesonabudgetuk5313]

Mids ✅ Guards ✅ No mudguards ✅

[@MerlinZener]

proper pipes, no wrap. Wrap just looks cheap and tatty, and raises suspicions of hiding rust. The rest of the bike is looking clean especially that tank, I reckon the wrap would look out of place.

[@stephenroberts8361]

fire extiguisher

[@ericweber1969]

Shortened mudguards, mid pegs for me.

[@bandiflip]

Gotta try the foot boards …. Be good to see how a new trend begins 😎👍🏻

[@kicker599]

Mids mids mids. Short mudguard, pointy maybe?

[@onurserttas5024]

cool

[@liamdixon8163]

Forward controls no rear pegs 🙏

[@Hamster2196]

Mids Pipes w/ guard No mud guard Hmmm...

[@stephenroberts8361]

you like low handlebars turn standard bars upside down your on a budget

[@HairyMTB]

Heat Shield pipes ... just because you building a budget Bobber it does not mean is has to look like a budget Bobber!

[@richardconway6119]

Loving the series and the new build. I have a question, if you have an old shovel head kickstart is it possible to convert to electric start?

[@MINTCUSTOM5]

According to Google yes you can! 👍😊

[@richardconway6119]

@@MINTCUSTOM5 do you know anyone who would do that sort of conversion?

[@MINTCUSTOM5]

@@richardconway6119 Let me look into it

[@connormcmillan8932]

MIDS !!!!!

[@mrlongtree]

It's got to be mid controls.

[@Chris-Devine]

mids fit the clip on bars better

[@devil6spawn]

Up front with the flats yes with the mud no to the rear and definitely no raps has to be plain black Exhaust with guard raps make a bike look shit

[@francisstraughniii2473]

Cut down the mud guards.nj 🇺🇸

[@2ndborn186]

Cool build and fabrication. (not being mean, but I am glad I didn't see tomboyabit hanging about. just sayin')

[@dorthymontgomery2354]

voi.fyi pleasurable

[@starthrone8045]

No don’t do front fender it’s very ugly
