Absolutely. Great details, like the finned exhaust clamps and the modded sprocket cover.

The slotted sprocket cover and exhaust hangers are cool too.

Wait if thats who I think it is I know him in person. He lives not far from me and has a Rocket 3 as well. He invited me over to drive some his cars. He doesn't come on here anymore from what he last told me. I was supposed to wire his BSA Rocket but never got there. I told him to bring it to me but just didn't have time to get over to his shop. He bought the BSA to go with his modern Rocket 3. Nice guy.

Thanks for all the responses. I really like it, too. Bob Scogin is a life-long friend of mine from Slidell, Louisiana. He bought the bike with the front end bent and only 500 miles on it and proceeded to build it as we might have in the 60's. It has a Harley narrow glide with a 21" with custom headlight and speedo, the tank has been filled and sports an offset filler plus Bob's first custom paint job. The rear fender was tastefully bobbed, late 60's style taillight, relocated signals. You can see the exhaust which is early Triumph headpipes and finned clamps with aftermarket meg's. There is almost nothing on the bike that Bob did not modify in the cleanest possible way. The Harley front end and early pipes are both supposed to be impossible, but Bob is ingeneous and if he wants a certain look, he figures out how to get it. I've had the bike for 2-3 years because Bob moves on to other projects and building them is his joy.
I am truly happy that you all have the same appreciation for Bob's talent that I do.

How is Bob getting along these days? He posted quite a bit while the project was ongoing, but seemed to disappear after. He never re-registered with the new forum (as far as I know) when Robert upgraded the software in January '05.
P.S. Oh, and, welcome to the site!
