Default Whos into bobbers, and custom bikes!

Anyone else on here into it?
I myself loveeee them. I dont have a honda bobber, but i am currently building an 81 xs650, yamaha one......If i had the change to get a honda frame, and motor to work with i would prob do it after this project is up. Im hoping to be done sometime during or after summertime.
Right now i got the motor torn down a little bit



And i got the frame together as a temp rolling chassi, since im moving into a new house next week, i didnt want to carry to many bits and pieces, in fear of losing stuff


If any of you guys are into building bikes, please post them up on here, of if anyone is even interested in bobbers, feel free to post pics up of your fav bikes. I figure this would be something new on here, i havent seen anything like it yet.....Hopefully some of you guys are interested like i am

Ive always wanted to build a harley bobber, maybe one day...i think my 650 will be good enough.
I cant wait to finish though, gonna do a weld on hard tail frame, i want to do a springer front, but those get wayyy pricey.I'm not sure if i wanna keep the stock tank, or go with a smaller one, ill figure that out when i get the frame welded

This is the style im shooting for, but i think im gonna paint the tank, and rear fender either a candy red, or candy green

I have a 1977 CB750 K i'm almost finished with. I did alot of the work myself with a little help from some friends. The bike took me about a year to get where it is now and i'm pretty sure ill have it finished to ride this spring. Just needs a few things to finish. I'm looking to find a front drum brake assembly an rim for it but haven't had much luck finding one. Almost everything was bought at junk yards or swat meets and most of it had to be modified to work on the bike but all in all i think it came out well.
