    650GTS - Nasty Bobber Build

    I have a 78 that I'm about to start disassembling. I'm going to hardtail it with a Voodoo MK21. I plan to leave the engine in while I tack weld the hardtail into place. Is there any particular order that I should follow while taking apart down to the frame? Just take pics and bag and label...

    Using 1" bars. Suggestions for retro clutch/brake controls?

    My current build is a 71 xs that's hopefully going to have the look of a 40's/50's bobber but I can't find much in the way of vintage style brake and clutch controls. All I can seem to find for the 1"bars is modern harley stuff. I ain't into that. Any suggestions?

    Different year motor and frame build

    I am looking to build a bobber, I am looking into buying a early 81/82 rolling frame w/o a motor. Last year I bought a 71/72 650 motor, I was wondering if I would be able to drop that motor into that frame? Any thoughts!
