1/9 Bobber WIP pic`s

[Ron_piet]

Hello,

I just started this Bobber with as base the Italeri 1/9 world war II bike

At this moment I respoke one wheel with copper wire and made two pulley`s for the beltdrive.

Here are some pic`s of it.

Interesting subject, love the front forks, they dont make them like that anymore I want to try some vintage Bikes in time.

Just noticed your spoke work .... amazing!

You picked the right bike for a bobber. Those WW II knuckleheads were the original choppers. I'll be watching this one closely. You are off to a great start with those spoke wheels and pullies. Did you actually wire those spokes yourself?

Tajoe indeed the grandfather of all choppers

And yes I have spokes that wheel myself after readig a litle "how to" from Sennake here on the forum (its in the topic of the CB 750)

OH SH#T!!! I stand corrected, it's not a knuck. How emarrassing! Either way it's a cool idea.

[Ron_piet]

Just finnished the last wheel with the new spokes in it and made a Apehanger for the Bobber.

And as usual I put everything together with tape and study what I have at the moment and what else I must change or made new parts for it.

Its looks good and now up for the details

Hmmm the paint question :-)

Really no idea at this moment ok mayby black and red but that can chance every day off course.

This is coming along beautifully with those classic apes. They look about as high as the ones on my Harley. Gotta love it! I'd love to know how you respoked those wheels. Keep up the good work.

[Katana1000]

I'd love to see how the spoked wheels are done as well.

I'm more of a sportsbike fan, but in my old age can see the attraction of a chopper as a diversion, would like to build a chopper soon.

This build is looking really good.

[Ron_piet]

Thnx guys,

Today I have made some new parts, Handles, steps and a Aircleaner.
I think I have scratchbuild the most parts for now :-)

[Ron_piet]

Just a litle further with the bobber.

I have finnished the Apehanger (steer)
Made a fendersupport from copperwire.
Replaced the sadlle backwards and added two springs under it from a ballpoint.

For the rest I have made some parts ready for painting.

This is so great. I love the small changes you are doing. Will be cool to see it all painted up. Guess there are a lot of schemes to choose from. Do you know if there are some kits like this avaliable in 1/12 scale?
