Heck yeah! This is getting into "rat-bike" territory, and that's not a slander against the bike. I like it..

Looks nice!

I'm not a fan of the stock mirrors personally and seem to change them on the bikes I've owned in the past. But mirrors aren't really a Bobber thing anyway. I really love the Z-bars! I had those on my 82 GS450 and just loved it. Those look great on the GZ!

I suppose technically you should get a true solo seat, but, you know, I've never done that myself, so I'm not one to talk. Don't know what you'd do if you did try to go with a true solo seat (meaning: I don't know how that would look, especially with the battery location).

[pillowpants]

I'm trying to get away from the ratty look...lol and yeah I need new mirrors, when I get some extra $$$. I think the solo seat would look great, but have no idea how to install one and seems like a lot of work. I'm getting the bars and tank painted soon and will get rid of that annoying sissy bar...

I prefer some contrast in my bikes, though I tend to go black with damn near everything I've modified. Don't suppose you've fired up that thing and ridden it with open headers. That'd be deafening, even at only 250ccs of sound. I know because I had my pipe literally tear open and try to fall off right after the 2-1 junction. That was excruciating for just a mile on the freeway, and this is coming from a guy who puts overkill stereos in his cars.

[pillowpants]

Yeah, it's pretty loud. I would like to get a different exhaust, but right now one of the header bolts is stripped and I can't seem to take it out. Any idea's?

Bike looks good pillow... I just posted some pics in the pics page... bobber project as well. I like what you did with the lighting!!

[joe]

Yeah, overall i like it, if its was my bike i change the seat, get off the sissy bar, and the fenders, the Z-bar its great, cheers

[pillowpants]

Hey Joe, That's exactly the plan. Thanks for all ur opinions and advise guys

[SimonLee]

this looks like my kinda beast what paint did you use on the engine and where did you get the Z bars from

[pillowpants]

Got the zbars from ebay.

NIce Bike Pillow pants. I would agree with some others here that I think the mirrors throw off the feel here. I bought some bar end mirrors myself which I like. I'm going for more of a rat bike look though.

In the end, to each their own. Overall, very nice bike. I like the red light under the tank though, nice touch. Any legal issues with that in Florida?

[pillowpants]

Yeah, I replaced the red lights with white cuz it's illegal to have emergency colored lights on ur bike if ur not an LEO. BTW I replaced the mirrors to only 1 high top old school mirror.

[Goose51683]

Yeah I was wondering about the red light. Love the way it looks but it would take me about 5 minutes to get pulled over with it.

Here's the mirrors I was referring to when I said I found some bar end mirrors for my bike. They rotate all the way around so I was able to place them where I wanted. I have them placed so I can see between my elbows and waist when I ride. I prefer that tucked in look.
