Willy's Bobber
Hi Guys, Here's more pictures and details on my project Willy's Bobber. Styled to look like an old bobber motorcycle from the late 40's. Mostly made from old parts. About the bike, frame is made from bent clothes hanger, wheels are from buggy champ, front end from a vintage wild one. The v-twin engine is made from 2 tl01 shocks bolted together with compressed buggy springs to replicate the engine heat sinks, transmission cover is from ww2 headlight. oil tank from tl01 shock. Fuel tank from ww2 NOS bottle. Front headlight is from Sand rover with modifications. Rear belt drive from a used Ta04. Saddle seat made from polycarbonate and foam tape painted in brown. Exhaust pipe from aluminium clothes hanger, front and rear fenders are from 3' polycarbonate jars. Front triple clamps from old Tamiya plastic parts. Handlebar from clothes hanger with antenna ends as grips. Willy's arms are repositioned to fit the with the handlebars. Overall its a bit of a 'rushed' work due to lack of time. For sure I will deconstruct the whole bike again to make it better. Cheers Guys. Thanks for looking.

Thanks Guys, @Grastens, there are flaws in the built. It still needs some work. After all, Its an old custom bike with never ending repairs.
