    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Has anyone tried making one of these into a bobber? I've been looking through the threads and can't seem to find any examples. Am I missing something? I want some advice if anyone has any on the right steps to take.
Thanks!!!
 
At the bottom of the forum page you will find a link the the Archives. Check there, you might find something.
 
The blue tool bar between the "post thread" and below the flow chart of where you are contains a search button. Enter the word bobber and see whast comes up. My son's bobber/chopped GS450 should be in there. As to the 550, how different could it be? All depends on what you want to do to it and whether it's possible (much less reasonable).
 
thanks for the advice, I've spent all morning wading through the endless supply of GS posts that exist in the archive. Some really good stuff so far. A new question that has been raised is whether or not you can monoshock this bike and also where you can hide the battery, any ideas?
 
Where else would you put the battery other than where it is? Some of the cafe dudes hide it behind the butt in the seat. As for the monoshock, thats a whole other thread search for rear swingarm swapouts.

bobber

pull GS550 on Yahoo a guy Mark Messner , I think thats his name,has a project build page . It really came out nice. Hope you can find it , thats how I came across it.
 
so as usual I'm confussed. You posted up bobber ?'s and then monoshock ?'s. Are you onto something that I'm unaware of? My vision of bobbers have a rigid rear. Mono conversion makes me think streetfighter. Either way cool. Combined not so cool. Set me straight. How's about a few pics. What are you working with and where do you want to go. If rigid is the choice check my thread in the owners forum "newbie- hi ianfrancisco". It shows how I put mine together. Maybe not the right way, just how I did mine.
