A walk around of our Kawasaki Vulcan 900 Bobber from Blue Collar Bobbers! Check out the kit on our website at: bluecollarbobbe... Thanks for Watching and Ride Safely!
I bought the Kawasaki 800 classic Blue Collar Bobber kit and every time I ride it, I get thumbs up and people yelling they love my bobber. The seat is very very comfortable. It's addicting to build, you build one then you want to build another one. I have a 2020 Triumph Rocket 3R, (the new style state of the art bike) and I get more compliments on my Blue Collar bobber Kawasaki.
Hi from blue collar bobbers. I'm a big guy myself at 240lbs. We have the seat springs custom made for us and they are quite stiff. We did this knowing that there are a lot of us larger guys out there. We can guarantee that the springs will work out for you. It would be a shame to see you bob your bike and not be happy with it. Our policy is to be totally honest with our customers. Hope this helps and thanks so much, Lance and Cheryl at BCB
I’m in Australia , I bought the blue collar bobber kit for my Vulcan 900 , just the seat and rear fender setup … IT LOOKS AWESOME … And most importantly it’s comfortable to ride could do a few hundred kms at a time no worries
Thanks so much for the nice words! The stock rear fender sticks up too high and forward to allow a nice install with the spring seat. The stock seat wouldn't look good with bobber fenders either.
Our seat is as low as it can be without the rear fender hitting it when the suspension is bottomed. The only way it could be lower is to hard tail the bike. In our opinion that would be a terrible thing to do to a really awesome bike like the 900. Thanks, Lance at BCB
Hi, we just scuffed the parts with a 3m pad or fine sandpapaer and painted them with krylon black rattle can paint made for plastic. Hope this helps and thanks so much, Lance at BCB
Hi, for some strange reason the sporty kits didn't sell very well. It's funny because we sell the metric kits like crazy!! If you look in our other products section you will see our 5 3/8" fender. That's the fender we used on our sportsters. I think it should fit a 150 tire?? I don't remember if the years of the bikes we were doing ran 140 or 150 tires. Hope this helps and thanks so much, Lance and Cheryl at BCB
Hi, Our rear fender won't support a passenger. The fender goes up and down with the suspension. The weight of a passenger would put too much strain on the rear struts and the poor rider would get pretty beat up. Thanks so much, Lance at BCB
Just bought my first vulcan it's a 1988 ,1500cc I would like to make it Just like this one in the video can you guys send all the parts I need to make my bobber a mirror to this one ?thanks
Hi, our rear struts fasten to the adjuster screw that adjusts the belt tension. I have never heard of relocating a brake on a Vulcan?? Thanks so much, Lance at BCB
Hi! first of you guys at blue collar bobbers just do an amazing jobs, congrats to athe whole team! Ill be getting my first bike soon and the vn900 is my choice. Il will be ordering both fenders for my ride. Just a question : can i keep the stock seat after installing the rear fender? or do I have to then install a spring seat? Thanks, again great job you guys!
On the Kawasaki 900, were does the rear fender bracket attach too? the frame or the brake? im looking to relocate my brake back behind the exhaust. thank you for your kit and any info
Hey, I was just wondering if there has been any changes to the frame? I noticed you said there had been no changes to the gastank, rims or suspensions. The reason for me asking is that I would very much like to buy a Kawasaki VN and get this kit, I am however not fermiliar with welding or anything like that. Does this kit require any alteration that would include welding or sawing away parts from the original bike? Thank you so much in advance, this has got to be one of the nicest bobbers I've ever seen!
No welding or change to the frame besides the stock fender sub frame/support bars that needs to be cut off. The DVD tells you exactly where to cut so its fairly easy even with minimal skills. The kit is worth it, just put mine 2 weeks ago on 2006 VN900
Nice looking bobber kit. I'm looking at a 240 rear tire conversion. Do you have a rear fender that would accommodate that? Do you sell a complete stock rear wheel kit? if so how much?
Hi Robbie, the only other place we know of is ryca.com, I'm not sure if they'll have what you're looking for or not. Let us know if we can help out any further.
+Sean McNierney Hi Sean, that is a Avon Speedmaster 5.00-16. Coker Tire Company has several tires for this bike. Shinko makes them as well. Have a great day!
Hey Lance, I really love the work you guys do. Mind if I ask you why you stopped producing for Sportsters? I know you guys like to produce parts exclusively for one model to prevent fitment issues, but I have to ask; do you have any aluminum rear fenders that will fit a 150 tire with a 16" diameter? I can make the mounting hardware, but don't want to invest in an english wheel ;).
Hi, the front tire on our 900 is a 5.00-16 Avon Speedmaster. It fits the stock rim perfectly. Our fender also has mounting holes to fit the larger tire. Coker Tire Company also sells several 5.00-16 tires, as well as Shinko. Be sure to get a new rim strip and tube when ordering new tires.
If you really want to accommodate a passenger, I've seen people custom fabricate removable seat systems. Just bolt on when you want a passenger and then remove it when you want your bobber nice and tidy.

Good god I love this bike!
Thanks so much for the nice words! The stock rear fender sticks up too high and forward to allow a nice install with the spring seat. The stock seat wouldn't look good with bobber fenders either.
Hi, Sorry but our kits are designed to fit the stock 180 tire. The tire looks much wider once you remove that big old stock rear fender. Thanks, Lance
I feel in love with this bike.
Hi, sorry but our kits are bike specific. In time we hope to get a chance to design kits for the 1500. Thanks so much, Lance at BCB
Our seat is as low as it can be without the rear fender hitting it when the suspension is bottomed. The only way it could be lower is to hard tail the bike. In our opinion that would be a terrible thing to do to a really awesome bike like the 900. Thanks, Lance at BCB
That looks amazing I love the retro look.
thx guys for doing this kits my bike now is the #1 in my town.......
im going to save mouney and buy a kit this spring love the kits keep makeing them
That's great to hear Dave! We'll be sure to keep it up!
Hi, the fender brackets won't support a passenger. The rear tire is the stock 180/70-15. It's a Bridgstone tire. Thanks again so much, Lance
a 36 knucklehead bobberr would be the ultimate ! but the vn900 is cool too !
Hi, we just scuffed the parts with a 3m pad or fine sandpapaer and painted them with krylon black rattle can paint made for plastic. Hope this helps and thanks so much, Lance at BCB
The perfect bobber! You guys RULE!!!
100% real gear , quality and real engineering went into this setup …

Beautiful!!!! I ride a custom Mean Streak, but these bikes are sweet lookng.
i love your VN bobbers they look just awesome!

Do the DVD's include the awesome back ground music? That may determine whether or not I purchase the kit!
SOLD!!! Just got to go buy the bike first.
Can you put classic wheels on a custom Vulcan to achieve that look with the tires
I have a kaw bobber. Love it
How much would one of these be in AUD to be installed. Curious.
Someone has some great toys in the garage!
Hi, our rear struts fasten to the adjuster screw that adjusts the belt tension. I have never heard of relocating a brake on a Vulcan?? Thanks so much, Lance at BCB
Nice
Very, very nice bike !
Thanks, it's one of our favorites!
Have you ever considered making bobber kits for Triumph's 865cc cruisers, the America and Speedmaster?
Tim Hartley We have had a lot of people suggest kits for the Triumphs, but haven't been able to make them yet. They would be pretty cool!
BlueCollarBobbers I can promise you at least one customer if you do. ;)
Thanks Tim!!
Is it possible to get a piece that covers the battery and wires so you have more protection from rain?
That kawasaki is nice. But the honda vt1100 is still the best looking.bobber And by a long way
What year is this bike very interested in theses kits
Like the Buick, My guess is it's a 1928 Landau coupe am I right?
Dave B Hi Dave! You are correct! Love that little car!

I don't know why the seats are always have to be nut busters ?
man that music is annoying
On the Kawasaki 900, were does the rear fender bracket attach too? the frame or the brake? im looking to relocate my brake back behind the exhaust. thank you for your kit and any info
if I kept the stock suspension and drilled some holes into the rear fender for the stock seat w/pillion, would that work?
