Swingarm Bobbers

[mshick68]

Hey guys,
How about some pic's etc... of xs bobbers that utilize the stock swingarm. I'm building a bobber from an xs650 and keeping the swing arm on. Just thought we can see all the cool bikes with swingarms. Here is mine but it's not finished. Still needs paint and some cool sweept back handlebars.

very cool! What handlbar is that. Drag bar type?

Here's my swing arm bobber. Although the swing arm is 4" longer and utilizes a mono shock off a CBR600RR. Worth a post if you ask me.

That rear caliper looks familiar......

Heres mine - im building a hardtail now

Yes, those are drag bars. I didn't care for them much though and now have Euro Bars on there now, a bit more comfortable. ... at least for me.

Yes Scrambled, that's your old calliper. She has been put to good use. Took a little work to free it up but works great now. I'll be thinking of you every time I step on the peddle. Thanks again!!!

Some call the Brat Style bobbers or Sprung bobbers along with swing arm bobbers as you mentoined....

Here is a link to a picture thread going on here:

What size tire are you using in on the rear or your bike?

 

[h3llb3nt1]

I haven't got any photos to post as yet but I'm building what might be called a bobber with a swing arm. Basically I'm following the bobber ethos of saving weight by cutting off unnecessary parts (and drilling holes in the bits that remain) but whether or not people will call it a bobber I don't know as it won't have the sprung solo saddle or the Z or T bars that some people seem to think are essential for it to be a bobber

Thanks Brother.
I showed your build to my best friend because that long lean look is his fav. And man did he like it! me too of course!

He is mine I'm working on... I moved the swing arm about 3" back and sectioned the stock tank so far......

I still do not understand why anyone would put a "spung" seat on a swingarm bike.

I still do not understand why anyone would put a "spung" seat on a swingarm bike.

In retrospect, I agree. I have a different seat that I have to work out the mounting for.
