Re: Building a bobber ol sparky replica
Here is what you were asking about mfulls .. All the brackets are made from flat bar steel I made a leather cover for my battery to help from moving around an rubbing a hole in the battery an also helps keep it stationary an hides the ugly ... Lol
Oh an the tank is made from an old steel fire exstinguisher an it holds 2 an 3/4 gal of gas .. About 100 miles to a tank

Re: Building a bobber ol sparky replica
is your battery just sitting there? Held in place by the cables?
Love the look of that tank. Really smart to make it out of that. I don't quite have those skills, so I am going to have to figure something else out to delete the original fuel tank.
How did you plumb that up? Did you just run a fuel line to a petcock and fuel filter, then down to the fuel pump?

Re: Building a bobber ol sparky replica
It does have a bit of a Harley look to it. But that is not a bad thing. If you like it....its right
