Some of you would do well to listen to Sugar Bear instead of disrespecting his knowledge. Sugar Bear is one of the chopper gods. and has forgotten more about choppers and bobbers than most people will ever know. Us "old timers" are getting quite a good laugh about your "bobbers", copper gas and oil lines and overall lack of knowledge about motorcycles. I do think that you shouldn't be selling some of this junk to public, who also doesn't realize when that copper oil line work-hardens and cracks, and it will, then you have created a oil slick for them to slide in. I do diagree with Sugar Bear on one thing, they didn't flunk out of geometry and physics, it wasn't part of their curriculum to begin with.

Mike (kiwi motorcycles) has gracefully corrected even me a few times on the use of "bobber" and i was born pre-60's! However you cut it, thanks for the clarification and hopefully those watching will correct their verbage and ride a true "bobber'...(ok, that's self serving as we sell kiwi's bikes/parts, but you get the point)....www.guiltycustoms.com Sugar Bear, that explination, is one of the best i’ve read.
