The Build Details

The bike is near completion and I’m stoked to finally mount up the Vance & Hines Grenade exhaust to see how it looks. But all didn’t go well. UGH!
The Full Ultimate Bobber Build – Episode 6
After a longgggg day in my buddies fabrication shop the Bobber is near completion and it’s looking awesome.
The Full Ultimate Bobber Build – Episode 7
Back into the fabrication shop with the 1997 Harley Fatboy to build some fender and seat mounts from raw steel. It’s amazing how much longer it takes than you realize. Of course having friends constantly stopping by to check out the bobber takes time away from fabbing. The bike is so close to completion and I’m more than ready for this project to be behind me and just enjoy riding the bike.
The Full Ultimate Bobber Build – Episode 8
In Episode 8 of the Bobber Build Series its time to add 10 horsepower as we install a new Performance Cam from S&S along with a set of S&S Quickee Pushrods in my 1997 Harley Fatboy Softail Bobber.

It seems like i have been building this bike forever. So I’m stoked to finally be ready to start this mean machine. But with such an extensive teardown and build there is bound to be issues.
The Full Ultimate Bobber Build – Episode 10
Today is the day we’ve all been waiting for… the Bobber reveal and test ride. I am still pinching myself that my custom Harley FatBoy is now the style of bike that I’ve been eyeballing for months. I didn’t see this coming but it happened and I’m stoked about it.
