Craigslist "funnies"

Reads more like peyote, IMO…

The most painful bobber seat I've seen!!!

Inspired by the Iron Maiden??

Honda CB750 bobber - $1500 (Jackson, Michigan)










Has custom twisted kickstand and handlebars, custom gas and oil tanks, led tail light, comes with custom highway pegs. Has kick and electric start

Looks like a hinge on the front of the seat - in case you decide the tire would be more comfortable.

Why I hate the words "bobbed" and "bobber".

Lovely rear brake line.

Why the rear shocks on a hardtail?

Why the rear shocks on a hardtail?

I did not see those, because they're attached to the seat. Would that make it comfy?

[80GS850GBob]

For what they're sprung for...might as well be a hardtail

What the hell is holding up the rear end?

Are the rigid swingarm mounts just not installed yet? I see the centerstand is down, but geez, is there any thought behind this hack job? What bike is that square swingarm and rear wheel off of, anyway?

"I have a custom 1982 Suzuki GS 450 TX Cafe Racer project that I have put a lot of money into and I recently got my interest back into VW Bugs."

If you have a spare VW and live anywhere near Spokane, this could be yours.

Kinda notice how these hackers have a short attention span?
Like only as long as their meth stash lasts?

A lot of it is that these nitwits out "engineer" themselves. They chop themselves into a corner and don't have the skill/knowledge/intelligence to figure out a solution, so they give up, write an optimistic ad on CL and hope for someone as dumb as them to come along.

What the hell is holding up the rear end?

Its a monoshock conversion. You can see the end of link dangling under the SA in front of the wheel. Looks like some mark of 90's Katana.

I dont see a shock absorber in there. Must have forgotten that part.

[JamesWhut?]

It is but just as black and grimy as the rest of the bike.

[Buffalo Bill]

It kinda looks like stuff from the 89-97 Katana, but I can't make out his shock mount, looks weak.
Yeah, probably somebody who's been on here - briefly, and got stumped with his project.
He could easily weld shock mounts on the steel swing arm, that'd be cool.

What is sad is that there is a never-ending supply of C/L funnies for us to enjoy. Here is another that misrepresents reality. If I had a dime for every time someone claimed their bike was in great condition or like new and the pictures show aftermarket exhaust/paint/parts, i'd have many dimes.

"... in fabulous condition...well taken care of...Transmission in prestige condition...This is a semi-project bike. You will need to replace the voltage regulator/rectifier and the attached wiring as it burned up"

Can't...stop...laughing...

[Rob S.]

"... in fabulous condition...(except for) the burned up wiring"

I hate when that happens.

Why the Frig' does a wet sump engine have what looks like an oil tank? Where is the oil returning from to drain out the bottom to the sump? Did he re-route the oil lines that went to the head for the cams to the tank?
