Could we get a couple shots of your bobber in the background? Have an idea like that for an old V45 I have in the yard.

Thanks,

Read the whole thread. Stretched hardtail is over my head with a shaftie. But I like your use of what is available to you. I'd have to do the same for any project like this for the V45. Mabey I'll go bobber / slammed / drag. Thanks for the link.

got a nice brown box this AM

NOS clip-ons, wish I would have got 'em when they were $5.

checking the tail/plate/bar look for kicks

Looking good man. Nice to see this one up and on its way.

funny both bikes were written off as junk by the previous owner.

Those are the best ones. You get um cheap and it doesnt matter if you dont like the path they lead you down cause you can always it off and start again.

got a little work done today. mounted the head light
cut the original mounts so they'll fit under the clip-ons. they already had some holes that would work perfectly since I wanted the light as tight to the bike as possible

 

[Richharr]

about an 1/8-1/4" space, worked out perfect

cut out some metal for this bike

gotta fire the bike up soon and make sure it still runs good before I go any further, also in the process of chopping up the harness

 

[jabberjoe87]

making good progress keep it up

 

[Richharr]

I can't stop sitting on the bike, I love it... ordered a clutch lever today.

 

[Richharr]

any thoughts on the smallest/cheap batteries to run to save weight and space?

 

[SgtRauksauff]

I'm watching this build for sure. I like it even more than your hardtail one, and since I'm about to start on my own 450L, and doing any mods to a bike for the first time, this is a great way to learn, thanks for the photo worklog!!

I did a search at the local battery places. The battery in my gs bobber is about 3" x 5" dry cell. It has the same amps as a wet cell . I don't wanna go thru the headache of pulling the cover or i could tell you which one i used. all mine runs are the headlight, taillight and electric starter. I also have kick start, but don't use it unless i'm showing off

 

[Richharr]

did some cutting, surprised at how much weight came off. still not finished but its a start, going to smooth it down tomorrow. only rough cuts today

 

[Richharr]

got a clutch lever. sorry about the pics, but its dark out
spring back

 

[Richharr]

been doing minor stuff to this lately, cleaned up the wiring harness. I haven't really had time for this one since my harley is almost finished though, probably finish it in the end of summer. just thought I'd give an update

 

[G1100]

hey man nice idea on cutting the triple tree. I was debating if i should do the same but a little afraid on the go ahead.

 

[Richharr]

how it sits now, I have to test the electrical, rebuild the front brake, throttle and clutch cable, chain, lights, finish shaving the trees, seal the tank, jet the carbs.
