If I could find a cheap good running Honda vlx 600 I sure would like too try my hand at bobbing it out like this. Me and my brother keep looking but people seem to want a little more then I am willing to spent just to Rat it out..

I hope EVERYONE understood my post was a compliment.

That bike is TOO WELL BUILT, and TIGHT!

Probably should have used an emoticon.

Regardless of opinion on rat bikes vs bobber. Its no rat bike, but yea its a nicely done bobber. I wouldn't have used that bike per-say but its nicely done. I just wanted to point out the difference between that and a rat bike when I posted the pic. I wasn't implying that I like either one better.

That goes beyond a rat bike to becoming a hunk of junk.

I like checking out pig bikes like that in person. Makes you wonder about their owners. I saw one in Maggie Valley that had a small still integrated. You'd never see it unless you followed the copper. Operable, using the rear header as the heat source according to the owner.

This is the first Triumph I've seen. And I've never seen one with any type of security system, alarm or chain. I wonder why...

Thanks for the pictures. My youngest brother owns a new Tiger and a 04 T-100, but has an old VLX600 that he has been thinking of bobbing. This photo will definitly get him off the start mark.

That's not a rat bike either,
it's an environmental disaster.

The guy who owns it is nowhere to be found. I think he's one of those ghost riders!!
