bobber

Hey guys I'm Nick from northeast ohio. This is my first build. It's a 82SH. I picked it up about a year ago and have been building it since. It's a TCBros hardtail with a pamco/PMA set up. Everything was done by me and my dad. Here's how i got it. Real clean. Almost felt bad for chopping it.

On the last bobber I built (Harley) I had a problem with the chain stretching. Ive noticed that on pictures of more recent builds with Jap engines, some people have fitted tensioners onto the rigid frame. So, Im wondering if any of you have experience of this, & what tensioner you found worked...

Hey guys Just picked up this 76 bobber beauty. Any ideas how I can add a frontbrake? The guy who put it together grinded all the attachments on the fork off. So I need everything (fork, wheel, disc, caliper...) It's a 19" front wheel Any cheap and easy suggestions? Something plug and play...

So I bought the street T bars from Slims Fab, I had a bad feeling they weren't gonna work with the stock top clamp and I was right. Not to sure what to do next, I've looked around for a aftermarket 35mm top clamp with the right spacing for the bars but no luck so far. I also thought about...

Hello. think it's time to finally post what i'm trying to create. :) I'm Jerome, and I'm living in Belgium. Been into motorcycles since the day I could ride one. Got my bike licence before my car licence. I've been driving racers and allroaders since. I always, one day, wanted to built a...

Hey guys, Ive been lurking here long enough without a post. This is my project that I've had kicking around for a few years. I bought it when I was 16, it was a hard-tail rat-bike that was sitting in someones garage for years. I got it running and rode it for the remainder of that year. Over...

Howdy, New to this sight and new to the xs650. I'm excited to see to many people who are passionate about this motorcycle, and you guys have already helped me and my project a few times since I've been cruising around the forum. If anyone is from Denver, let me know if there are any...

2016 Chop Off Build

I have always dreamed of riding a motorcycle and it all fell into place when I came across this bike. During a barbecue, my friends crazy old neighbor came hobbling over from the 1960s with his Grateful Dead tattoos and pirate earrings. In between gravelly commands at his pitbull Lola, he...

So I bought the kit from Mike's and I have it installed. The problem I have is that the adjuster at the side cover sticks out too far, so I can't put the cover back on. What did I do wrong? Thanks!

So I just get done setting up my DJ equipment and Photobooth for a Wedding I was doing this last Saturday night and I only have about one and a half hours until I start my show. I just jumped in my SUV and start driving from the Banquet hall toward home when on my way home to clean up and put...

Just throwing this idea out there, but has anyone ever made a jockey shift where the shaft of the shifter has a joint where it pivots either in or out from the bike and engages/disengages the clutch? Think this is possible? The connection between the shifter shaft and the motor would have to be...

I'm 6'2" about 250lbs . I really like the look of a brat bobber but how would it be to ride?? thanks for any info

Gary sold me these air boxes for my 72/74. Perfect fit!

Hi all I bought some mikuni VM34 carbies after giving up on my BS38's, they haven't arrived yet but I know I will need to reject them to suit my mods, I hav velocity stacks and 1.5" open exhaust too and need to jet to suit these mods. Can anyone help?

So I'm new to this, so bear with me. I am looking into getting a project bike, just want to see if it is worth it before i make the jump. Here are some pictures of the bike i plan on getting. Please tell me if this is won't cost me everything I own in just getting this running.

Check the gallery, big thanks to all you guys on here for the info and parts!:thumbsup: http://imgur.com/a/JVzYn

Gentleman, i have a tc brothers hardtail frame on the rear of my 1980 special. Any recommendations on how much to lower the front forks to keep a decent geometry for cruising?! I havent lowered it at all yet and im going to push the shock tubes up through the triple trees to get a feel but...

I just looked through 36 pages trying to find a setup, little blurry eyed I didn't find anything... I'm looking for a lead/picture on how to redo my harness. I'm running headlight taillight blinkers speedo electric start horn and pamco ignition. I appreciate any help.

Guess it's time to quit being a creeper and just lurking around this site. Names Ryan from Tucson. I was in the market for a bobber and quickly found myself attached to the xs650. After looking for one to buy, I decided I would rather build something than buy one. I ended up horse trading my 49...
