    BeardedCustoms GS1100 Bobber Build

    This is the GS1100 my buddy and I are in the process of building. Nothing radical for this bike, simple hardtail, lower her a bit, change out the bars, throw on a sportster tank, simplify the wiring, liscense plate bracket, some simple paint, and call it day. We rescued it from the owner who attempted to do who knows what with it. This was their attempt a a bobber. Tire is so far burned out that I am sure someone had a good smoke show before they let it sit.

      Engine out and up in the frame jig ready for the knife I need to get some pics taken tonight of the back half being cut off behind the craddle. More to come over the next few days.

        Based on the start point youve inherited, anything from that point on is an upgrade!!!!

        I would rather trust my bike to a "QUACK" that KNOWS how to fix it rather than a book worm that THINKS HE KNOWS how to fix it.

            Well we had some unexpected set backs but finally getting back onto this project. We got the back section cut off behind the craddle. Intially we were going to eliminate the swing arm and replace with full DOM tubing rails up to axle plates but for time sake we decided to just keep the swing arm and incorporate it into the build. Here is where we stand as of now.
