Looks like you pretty well nailed your objective and came out with a cool bike! Would almost bet you could sell for more than u have in it!
I was quite impressed that the time Frank bought this and said he was going to have a “project” to work on, was so short. These kind of projects usually take much much longer. And yet, the quality and look did not suffer. For a little over 6k, this is truly a “cool” bike and Frank should be really proud of it.
Beautiful and simple – less is more indeed. The aesthetics agree with my own tastes,
I like the paint with no metal flake and the real metal tank badge. The tires also give it a real old school look. The choppers that can not be ridden over 20 miles without stopping for fuel make no sense. Making it a daily rider means more riding time.
If I was to have a bike built..It would be this. I’m old school and can still remember a cousin riding up on his bike in the late 50’s.
Love this! The old school appearance really sets it off! The air filter cover ties in nicely with the spring seat. Looks awesome, nice job!
I really like the look of this bike, it is clean and simple, the absence of all the unnecessary factory items make this a nice old school bobber. The paint color is perfect for the old school style.
Beautiful job Frank
Great looking bike and great idea love the old bobber look
I love the look of this Bike and a fan of the old school fat tire look. I also like that it was done at a reasonable cost.
Looks great, something like what I was thinking of building.
I’ve seen this bike up close and personal. When I saw it from about 20 feet away I thought it was a brand new bike. Only after speaking with Frank did I discover it was a 95 model makeover. This is a beautiful machine. Congrats to Frank on a job well done.
Awesome! What a fantastic bike you built! The white stripe on the tank, along with the Harley badge really add to the special look of your bike. I an happy to gave it the max of 5 stars. Good luck, well deserved if you win.
Unbelievable to me that this is a 1950 Motorcycle, so I am impressed. Well done on all counts!
Okay….so tell this blonde……is it a 1995 motorcycle 50’s style? Either way, it’s a beautiful bike.
It’s a 1995. Built to look old school.
It’s a beautiful old style bike that sounds great too! Well done Frank!
Frank you have done a Great job, I couldn’t have done a better job myself. I’m glad I could help you buy buying your old parts.
Nice job. New updated “Wobbly-Box” special. Bike looks GR8 Frank and I’ll bet rides like a dream.
