Anyone ever seen a honda bobber?

the modifcation to the frame was pretty simple. you just buy some pipe that is close to the origional frame size. then you cut the frame off right behind the gas tank mount, and leave the two tubes going up long so that they can be fitted later. the pipe will fit inside of the origional frame section. you have to kinda bend it around the rear fender and build brackets to bolt it on where the origional shock mounts. build the chain side of the bike first. it could give you the biggest problems. heres some more pics. also when you cut down the fender keep the leftovers. they help when building the seat pan. thes pics are from a while back I will take more tonight.

 

someone mentioned a cafe racer... honda 160 (i think a 360 is similar?)

 

...more

 

cafer racer all the way
you can call it a bobber if you want

 

and

 

BTW, with the aquisition, re-registering, and carb rebuild kits, I'm only into this cb-350 for $80 so far! I can't lose. Uh,****uming it runs, I think so. Its got compression.

Now, I made a 100% profit on that Barbie Bike, I should do much better here.

 

im working on a cb450
lots of guys use the swing arm as a jig. then run the upper and lower tubes and remove the swing arm ..
here is a cb360 from the net..

Here's my bobber, it's just been stripped down and about 8 inches of fender cut off so I guess it's a stripper then huh? I know it's not a Handa but it's Foreign.

 

Wheelspinner-- looks like we think alike. I stretched my yamachop 7" in the swingarm, though--

 

Here's the other side showing my model a tailight-

 

What gauge tubing do you guys use? What do you use to make the nice bends?

 

Hatch you're only partially right in saying you never get your money back from a jap bike thats modified. If you try to sell it to a harley buddy you are correct!I have built three in a row -rode them as long as 4 years and almost doubled my investment on each.......its do-able for sure.Its not a bobber either-but Here is a Kaw Vulcan1500-CC V twin I built[was wrecked]-rode and sold for almost a 100 percent profit last year
