Yeah man, looks safe.

I could slip in the shower, break my neck and lay there until I die a slow death... Or I can ride the shit outta this thing and if I die, I die. At least I went out with a smile on my face.

Hellz yea.

That thing is classy.

Definitely not how I'd describe, but thanks!

This is dirty

This is a much more appropriate term

different

Really love it, i'm gonna be getting my licence and getting one but a Harley. Thats 'bobber' style right?

Thanks! Honestly though... You should probably start with something else. If you're not very experienced, you're going to drop your bike at least. It's pretty likely that you'll have a crash. I've been riding dirt bikes for over 10 years, and Harleys (from stock to crazy custom choppers) for about 6 years. I've dropped a couple dirt bikes and my dads Harley. Almost dropped this bike last week... And I'm careful and don't consider myself clumsy.

And yeah, this is a bobber. For me, this type of bike is a TRUE bobber. The name bobber comes from dudes that would chop stuff off their bikes back in the 40s, aka "bobbing" them. A custom frame kinda takes away from that in my opinion.

This is awesome.

Thanks. I've got a new tank, new seat, and a few other tricks to make it a bit more awesome.

Love bobbers.

I likes it.... do more to it

Haha, love it. Looking at the first photo, who knew it could turn out so well

Thanks guys. Like I said above, I've got some things planned to make it a bit more awesome. I'll probably build a custom frame next year. I'm thinking about picking up another bike (same model, 1 yr older) that doesn't have a title so I can rebuild that motor. If I did that, I'd probably just put the newly rebuilt engine in a custom frame and have 2 of this fuckers

haha thanks, that was kinda the goal. I grew up around bikes but was never in a position to own one until recently. I need to raise my bike a bit so I can put a rear fender on it. Apparently bitches love motorcycles. Almost as much as smiley faces.

Looks sick. Only thing I would do is new seat and weld up that rear swing-arm so its permanently Solid.

Don't know shit about this but it seems pretty bad ass.
I'm digging the write up too.

I rode it 50 miles to my dads tattoo shop, then took a detour through a really nice part of town on the way home. Felt like a boss on my $1200 ratty motorcycle, surrounded by Bentleys, Rolls Royce, Ferraris, etc. After a month of riding it around almost daily, I finally had a license plate and registration. This pic was @ a gas station in the ghetto.

Abso-fucking-lutely love this. Your attitude (badditude?) and this bike go together like construction sites and dead hookers. I know what it feels like to roll through an upper middle class suburb in something that would knock the teeth clean out of donald trump's head if it were a person.


best feeling in the world. Please update this again soon! keep chopping stuff off of it! don't use a measuring tape! buy a gun and weld that sucker to the handlebars! REPLACE THE TIRES WITH BULLET BELTS!

[hinrichs]

love where this is going

Eventually I'll either do a proper hardtail to this frame, or build a frame. I have a spring seat already, but without a welder I don't have any way to mount it

Well... I probably won't be chopping anything else off. Until Sunday, that is. Hopefully I'll be able to build me new exhaust on Sunday. Anyone that knows me in real life will tell you that this thread really does sum me up. I like to get rowdy.

love where this is going

Thanks! This is a result of totalling my 240 and finally being at a point in life where I could say "fuck everything, I'm doing this."

This is my 2nd bobber, but I ended up selling the 1st one before I ever got it running. It looked bitchin' though.

[rolllindeep]

CHOP THE EXHAUST YOULL LOVEEEEEEE IT

[theREALpendulum]

Is that a 400? 450?

I'm just worried about the afr being a bit too lean for the summers here if I chop the exhaust. I'm in Arizona, where 112* is normal for 3 straight months. I plan to cut the exhaust and add some straight pipes the same length as the stock mufflers.

[Pierate]

Awesome. Almost making me wanna get a bike myself, almost.

[jgartland]

i love this.

Every man should own a motorcycle of some sort.

i love this.

Thanks. It'll get better once I get my new tank from my dads place and I get my new seat mounted.

Yeah, I think if run some pipe the same length as the stock mufflers, it'll keep similar backpressure. Here's WHY I think that...

My bikes a 550, which is a 4 cylinder. Each exhaust runner looks like it's about 1.5". Cylinders 1+2 and 3+4 merge under the oil pan. That means when they get to the muffler it has to flow 3.0" worth of gas. I've got no idea what the inside of my mufflers look like, but If I use a 1.5" straight pipe, I'm figuring that it'd be sufficient to maintain my backpressure.
