    GS bobber out of Buenos Aires

    Hey Guys!
    Stumbled upon this little GS bobber out of Buenos Aires over on Sideburn.

    About this time last year we posted a photo of German Karp's project, mainly because he was in Buenos Aires and we were excited that someone...


    Seems like an exceptional build, even for those who this may not be their style.

    I like it, though I know I would look stupid on something so small.

    Cheers, Erick

    Thats a nice little ride. Ive always loved the sideby twins for run around bobbers better than the 4 inlines. Course I am a Trump fan . I like that one.

      Nice.. Odd that it has a front brake but no master or lines attached to it.
      Dirt bike wheels?

          Tail/brake is mounted top of the left shock mount. In my quest for the minimalist look, Ive found front calibers that had a small MC at the caliber itself. I forget who made them, some Chinese company I think.

            Really I think that is called a Brat style bike just by how the frame and rear suspension are done. Nice bike with good flow non the less.

              Can we just start calling them motorcycles again? I'm starting to get confused.

                    yeah its a brat style bike drhach. they originate from japan mostly, you cant make a bike into a hardtail that wasn't "born" that way, hence the reason they are importing so many classic harleys. As for the paint on the tank it is really common with late 60's early 70's choppers (check the jockeyjournal) panels, lace, fishscale. etc. I like the single backbone conversion and front triangle gussets. very cool
