Let's take a look at how to convert an old locomotive into a bobber style!
We need to pick a suitable old locomotive as a basis for modification. When choosing, we can consider the following aspects:
Make and model: Choosing a brand and model with a historical heritage and a unique charm can make the modified bobber more personal.
Vehicle condition: Try to choose an old locomotive in good condition, so that you can reduce a lot of unnecessary trouble in the modification process.
Accessories: Choose some original accessories with collectible value, which can add a lot of color to the modified bobber.
During the retrofitting process, we needed to remove some unnecessary parts to achieve a simple effect in the bobber style. These parts include:
Rearview mirrors: Bobber-style motorcycles are usually not fitted with mirrors to keep the body simple.
Saddle bag: In pursuit of a minimalist look, we can remove the saddle bag to make the body more clean.
Exhaust pipe: In order to make the sound of the engine more pure, we can replace the short exhaust pipe.
Brake lights: Bobber-style motorcycles usually don't have brake lights installed to keep the body simple.
During the retrofitting process, we also need to pay attention to some details to achieve the best bobber effect:
Seats: Choose a low seat that can make the vehicle appear more compact.
Tires: Choosing a retro-style tire can give your vehicle more personality.
Paint: Choosing a minimalist color can make your vehicle look more pure.
Lights: Installing a retro-style light fixture can make your vehicle more charming.
to ensure the performance and safety of the vehicle. In this process, we can consult experienced motorcyclists or professional modding masters, and let them help us solve the problems encountered.
