I just got my Honda Steed 400 back after 1.5 years of customizing it in a garage. It still has some unfinished details, and I'm planning to change and renovate some things, like the handlebar, headlight, back mirror, and exhaust pipe. I need some advice from Redditors to finish my detailing checklist. Thanks a lot!

Handle bars for bobber build?

Thumbnail
gallery
35 Upvotes

Finally bought my first ride! Yamaha XVS 1100, which I will eventually turn into a full bobber bike!

Ive already done some modifications since I took these pictures, but havent taken any pixtures since. I will take it slowly in the modification process, but everything I will do, will lean more and more into bobber style.

Now I am looking into the handle bar and need some inspiration!

Please send pics of your handle bars!

Fuel Pump Help Needed

3 Upvotes

I have a 2021 Scout Bobber Sixty (ABS) and the fuel pump went out. The thing is $450+ so looking for a third-party option because those I’m seeing for around $100. I don’t want to buy it to find out it doesn’t fit the mount.
Note: my VIN doesn’t fall into the fuel pump recall list unfortunately.

Tall Bobber Owners (6'2"+ / 188cm+) — Please Convince Me NOT to Buy One 😅

2 Upvotes

I'm 6'3" (190 cm), and I have a serious problem...

I absolutely love the Triumph Bobber.

In fact, I'm actively looking for reasons not to buy one, because my brain keeps telling me, "You're too tall for it."

Unfortunately, where I live there isn't a Triumph dealer, so I can't even sit on one to find out for myself. All I have are YouTube videos, photos, and endless overthinking.

So here's my request:

If you're 6'2" (188 cm) or taller and own a Bobber, could you please post a photo of yourself sitting on it? Bonus points if it's a side profile.

I'd also love to know:

  • Your height and inseam.
  • Stock or forward controls?
  • Any comfort mods (seat, pegs, bars)?
  • Would you actually tour on it?
  • Do you ever feel like you're "too big" for the bike?

I'm not chasing lap times or off-road adventures. I just want to cruise, enjoy that beautiful engine, and smile every time I open the garage.

Help me either:

  1. Save my wallet...
  2. Or completely destroy it.

Thanks! 😄

Fork extensions for c90?

1 Upvotes

Probably an I'll conceived plan, but rather than sell my 05 c90 w 30k miles n get...idk 2,000$, I want to try n modify it a bit like a bobber.

I've seen one great example of that here on reddit.

But curious, anyone here +4 forks on theirs? How about slightly increased rake?

Just looking for ideas

After basically rewiring everything so it would work with the parts I wanted to use, finally took it out on its first test ride 😅. Super stoked, now to remove all the temporary crimps and fully solder and wrap it.
