Looks very nice...I see your dog checking it out with approval too 
Converted VN900 Custom Stock into Bobber
Finally, after a lot of planning, communication and time (XMAS break) to start and complete this project.
I ripped off the rear fender assy and stock seat and replaced with a BCB kit.
Just oiled the seat and waiting for that to dry before i take it for a spin...

thanks Haynes!
Any tips to make it look even better?
After having ridden this 'new' bike a few times now - it is a dream - heaps better than stock. I don't have to mount the bike like a horse anymore by having the spread my legs as wide. IT just feels like I slide into the bike with minimal exertion. The ride seems more freer (for want of a better word), lighter and even more manoeuvrable. I can now move my body more in unison with the bike on every aspect of the ride. And the looks I get from pedestrians - something to be seen. This guy who crossed the road at the lights this morning could not stop gazing at it. I looked back in the mirror and I can still see him peering at it as it he walked off...
BCB have been great and the whole kit is a friendly assy with a detailed DVD showing step by step. The after sales support has also been A1 - Thanks Lance and Cherryl! I know there are many other options out there to bob this bike with different parts from different companies, but the advantage of having a kit already made up to bolt right on means less pain and stuffing around with fitment, clearance, etc...

I had 10 bars on my VN900. I loved those bars.
I don't remember the brand, but they were basic 10" bars, nothing fancy. I had to reroute the cables, but nothing needed to be changed. I would, however, recommend a clutch cable. Mine was a bit tight and led to premature breakage.
Thanks Vlanc.
I totally agree with you - shorter pipes are on the cards - when finances allow.
Still recovering from this expensive BCB kit, etc..
Where in melb you located?
What is your ride?

Inner city.
I've got a classic. I wanted to bob it when I first got it, but I'm over the urge. I want to ride it more than I want to customise.
