That was the guy I was telling you about, I believe, but I dont remember his name as Rob. Anyway its the same bike tha twas crashed in front and then hacked in the back.
The side ways licence plate off the axle ... screams "Ooooooh damn I forgot what to do with the licence plate. Oh well, this looks as good a place as any other"
The piece of flat bar holding up the rear fender screams ... "oh oh my fender is tearing up the tire, what can I do ... what can I do, OK we'll hammer this bar here and weld it up and make it hold up the fender and lets slap the other end under the rear axle bolt as well".
I love this "Is a real head turner" people turn to also look at the fugly a$$ freaks. That is what people dont realise. Worse yet, people are polite, you have obviously spent many 100 hours on it and it takes a real sadist (or someone who lacks any social sense like me) to tell you, "man that thing looks like a piece of trash" so they just say nice bike and keep walking.
Anyway I know this fool had close to 1500 bucks in it + whatever cutting and welding and hammering cost, so for his lousy taste you pay a 2K premium.
Cool.
Buddha.
Pics aren't very clear but from a distance it looks cool. :icon_rolleyes:
Thats actually a fairly standard place to put the license plate. Not a bad looking location either.
Oh yea ... oh yea ... why you little ...
OK just those handle bars are worth beating the fool to pulp with. Look ... left and right dont need to be connected ... the bars are free pivoting ... whooo whooo ... who needs to hit the brakes ... this is a bobber ... people get out of the way ... just after they turn heads ... moron.
That bike Has more fugly garbage than you can shake a stick @.
The body plastic (side covers and tail and rear fender) on a shadow covers up all the ugly crap like the fuel pump and the electricals as well as the battery. If that trash was meant to hang out in the air, well, why does anyone even make side covers.
BTW That tank came to the guy in a nice beautiful red. Flawless paint on it.The side covers/tail section were green and lightly scratched up.
A sane person would have painted the body red or bought a green tank ... they made a great green and white a few years in the 90's on a vlx600.
This fool removed the body and painted the tank flat black ...
Under the seat - you see all the black bits and pieces - OK let me tell you what all is in there. Battery, fuel lines, each about the size of a dime OD, fuel pump which thankfully is mostly black, a bunch of electrical junk, like starter relay, T/S relay, headlight, side stand and what not relays/interlocks ... and yes the bike has no T/S'es, however the fool doesn't know to remove the relay.
Its a lot uglier in person and its a lot uglier to someone who has owned and worked on a shadow. That $7 harbor freoght trailer fender ... looks like sheite. Even my trailer wont have a trailer fender.
Cool.

Its fairly standard after some fool forgot to fit it on his custom bike and then slapped it wherever it fit. Yesterday's bad idea is today's trend huh.
I remember seeing it in the late 90's and I really hoped to god the thing was just on there temporarily till he got home and fit it on properly.
Cool.

Personally I'm going to say I don't like it. Seems like he started off with good intentions on the front half of the bike and then just ran out of money. My opinion of course. To each their own.

One of the basic tenets of building a bobber, is that you're too stupid to see what a POS it is and assume the whole freaking world needs to read it every day. I am not against bobbers in general, but a bobber that looks like it was spit up by a crusher and you want a 200% profit - that = stupid.
BTW this bike was nearly the perfect candidate for a cheater chopper. Machine up triples with a 6-13 degree rake, fit a set of looooooooong forks - I like older dirt bike forks, but HD and other forks are a possiblity too, and leave the rear end as it was. It was a whopping 24 inch ride height if that, lowering it to 18 inch and losing suspension travel will beat your a$$ up and nothing else. of course machinig up triples with angles and c-c distances etc require calculations and you need to be dealing with sine and cos of various angles and distances and then have someone machine it ... man my head hurts.
Same thing with electrical modifications.
Same thing with carburetion.
Same thing with anything that requires thought, or research or reading.
See its like this and it has been lifted from someone's sig line on an audio site.
5% think.
10% think they think.
And 85% would rather die than think.
Every one is building a bobber, and all of them are from the last 85% of the population.
Cool.

I am selling my 1978 Honda cb750 Honda matic. It is a two speed NO clutch. Very rare. It is super clean. It could also be considered a rat bike, cafe racer, bobber or even a chopper. I just put on a new 530 hd oring chain. Carbs have just been fully rebuilt. Has brand new front tire. It is a hardtail that has been bobbed. All of the stock parts that have been removed are in a box. You could sell them for 1500. The speedometer drive cable is broken. The carb need to be fine tuned. There is a small leak coming from #4 carb. Float possibly needs adjusted. I had a fractured vertebrae and thought I would be ok riding the hardtail. But on a 30 minute ride I was done. My friend rode it and he was fine. This is a very cool bike and I wish I could keep it. My loss is your gain.
So its been hacked and welded, put back together, but needs to be taken apart ... and he has a fractured vertebrae and thought he'd be OK with a hardtail. The way that sentence is worded it looks like he built the hardtail knowing he had a fractured back ... so my question is ... has he ever ridden anything ... ever. cos even with a fully finctioning suspension these things hammer your butt.
And yea you can sell the crap he's pulled off the bike for 1500. Well everyone is building a bobber, so a stock tail section you have hacked off the bike yes pal, its worth 1500.
Guys please post competing moron's in your hood guys, or I am beginign to think I am living in the dumbest place on earth. BTW - that is atleast partly true, I see more stretched and slammed sport bikes here than I did anywhere else I have been to/lived in. Even in NY/NJ I saw almost none.

Pff. Wah. Quick search for "bobber" in the local ads turned this up. A DOHC CB750K w/ hardtail. He's "losing money" selling it for $3000. At least he started with the least desireable of the DOHC bikes...
http://miami.craigslist.org/brw/mcy/2338603081.html
For less than that, I could buy a unmolested and much newer bike... like an older Shadow.
There are literally dozens of these bikes for sale on CL. IMHO this is an acceptable route for a bike that's too far gone for a proper resto, but selling one would be a chore. And I've never understood the rationale for locking out a perfectly good suspension.

Buddha, not only is this guy stupid but he's a liar too. $1500 for a box of parts stripped from a Hondamatic? What can be in that box that's so valueable? An pound of killer weed? Not the engine, carbs, wheels, tank, frame, or forks. He used them all and that's where the money is! Also he says it's super clean but then says it can be considered a rat bike! :cookoo: He obviously doesn't know what a rat bike is, a P.O.S... HIS BIKE! :thumb:
As for choppers and bobbers in general, it depends on who makes them. My friend Brian has been buying, chopping, bobbing, and selling XS650's for the last two years, 27 bikes so far. (Yeah, you could say he's high-energy!) His bikes are absolutely gorgeous as he pays attention to every detail and he is a 30-year master of metalwork. Everything is glass bead blasted, polished, or neatly re-painted prior to re-assembly. Not a single wire shows. It's all neatly tucked-into a handmade metal box or cylinder, depending on the customer. They look like they were originally made that way. He does them with a neat, minimalist, economical focus, and they are way-cool. People gladly pay him three grand and up for one and they call him for months thanking him. Every time he parks his bike everyone ignores the Harleys and gathers around his "shiiity old Yamaha". His bobber is the best looking low-buck chopper I've ever seen. He let me ride it and it was a pleasant experience. When you strip-off all the crap that 50 HP motor does fine! I posted a pic of him sitting on his bike sometime last year. It's on this website somewhere. If you search for "Brian" it will probably show-up. I will have a handmade Briancycle before too long, I can smell it! :woohoo:

I am hoping to implement one of these 1/2 decent hack jobs ... I am not even against ugly rat bikes, I am just against crap that someone welded up haphazardly and needless to say, some of them have been painted over beautifully ... but you see 1/2 the electricals and other ugly bits - like the battery in a tray just in front of the back wheel on the bottom - that just reeks of lack of thought.
My goal is to build a GR based flat tracker ... using mostly stock parts. They just will be stock out of 100 different bikes.
So far - buell blast tank - fits it like it was made for it, a buell blast swingarm - hacking and welding needed and has the potential to look fugly, and a DR250 swingarm. I would probably fit the GR laced aluminum wheels on it, maybe run a kat FE or a GS FE even, and see if an offset fork brace will let me run a front fender which of course will be a GS or a kat. I dont know that it would look like its been hacked up ... that remains to be seen.
Also an XS is a good platform to start on, but it makes a far better cafe or a flat tracker than a chopper or bobber.
In a way the less you do the better IMHO, see an xs already has the profile to be a cafe or a flat tracker. A bobber IMHO the bike that was made to be bobbed is a savage. Cos its frame ends @ the a$$ of the rider. The entire section behind that is mounted on that heavy monster of a fender. Remove the fender and instant bobber. Yes you still ahve to deal with the electrics - 5 wires run to the T/S and tail light - and the R/R - on my "bobber" I shallow drilled the spot welds in that fender and removed all the thick pieces, then shaved the thing into a nice profile, fitted a tombstone style - limp D1ck tail light and ran the wires under the fender and to the T/L and T/S. Licence plate went on that tail light. Nothing was left like it was cobbled up. The best part was the R/R - into the airbox it fits perfect, is in a lot of air and I ran it that way for over a year ... fantastic.
I also chopped that bike - by making angled triples and runnign a dirt bike FE.
Cool.

I know him, he tried to sell the stock XS he had for 2G, and when it didn't sell he built that. I was telling him ~2-3 years ago to be patient and nothing was selling and when the economy was better it would sell. Anyway his xs used to be a mint bike. I started of with a rat, which got worse with time.

And he also had a Bandit 1200 there, dunno if it sold.
Y'know, there was a .com bubble, then a housing bubble right, I think now there is a bobber bubble.

That assumes these are semi complete and running. I just about got $620 for one that did a month ago, and it had a good title in my name and 5800 miles, and a coated tank and endless cool stuff, lots of yellow powdercoated parts etc etc. I'd call it top $ for an xs in that shape. If you get 5-6 titled runners in that bunch with just fit up the parts that are there, that = just about breaking even.

That motor looks lost in that frame, I'd have tried to run like a GS1100 or a GS1000 motor in it instead. I also dont like the hardtail BS. 90% of bikes that are for sale for 1/2 their build cost are hardtails. I'd guess less than 25% of bikes on the road are hardtails.

There are 3 types of bikes:
* Bikes for riding
* Bikes for posing (like most of the bobbers)
* Bikes of "what the f*** were they thinking?" which covers at least half of the bobbers and choppers.
I know I'll probably never get back the $1400 additional I put into Junior (paid $1100 for him) . I don't care. He is looks so cool and is fun to ride (and pose). Quality parts and rare OEM parts are expensive even though cheaper parts could have worked. Its just the price you pay to get what you want and the satisfaction of having a 1 of a kind bike. And a bike you are proud to have.
If I were to ever sell Junior, I know I'd take a loss (consider it rent for having it for a year or more) and would want it to go to someone that would continue to preserve it and improve it. Otherwise, it would go back to stock ( parts whore here - OEM parts are in the garage) then sell as a stock GS and sell the after market parts separately or barter to a local GS'r for bike work. (been there, done that. With extra parts... I'm happy with the help and they are happy with free parts. We store parts, swap parts and rarely throw anything away.)
So while I can appreciate the effort that went into these bobbers, the owners need to be realistic about the price. Things do depreciate. Some things as add-ons cost more than the value they add to the bike (same applies to homers when you're going to sell one. Bathroom upgrade: 2x return on your cost. New carpet? usually a loss as new owner would re-carpet anyway.)
While I'd never want one or ride one, I do appreciate seeing a really shined up Harley on a sunny day at Alki Beach. Once there were 4 in a row. Absolutely a beautiful site! I was very happy riding my GS500.
Yea That WTF were they thinking class covers most of the Choppers/bobbers.
Bikes built by non riders who have more $ than sense, taste, observation power, and most every other neccesary quality to be a bike builder.
And oddly some times its the lack of $ that makes them do stupid sheite ... like one fool who polished a YZF 600 (steel frame) and put an estended arm on it, cos he already had that bike and didn't have to buy one. Never mind that it looks stupid, takes a ton of maintenance and it looks rusty most of the time ...
The other thing is, the more goobered up parts you are having to make for the bike ... the less it will appeal to the rest of the riding public.
In 09 I built a chopper bobber out of a savage. It wasn't a true chopper it was raked @ the triple only, and the grand total of parts I made for it - 2. Yes 2, upper and lower tripes. OK it had 1 aftermarket part - the tail light and all the rest were stock parts from other bikes.
The rear fender of the savage I cut and modified, but I had a spare rear fender to go with it. The bike could be returned to stock in about a saturday's worth of work. The coolest part was, it would ahve out handled and out braked as well as out run a stock savage. I first built the chopped bike and had it entirely intact with the full body set that was in original colors. People thought something was different but couldn't tell what was different without me pointing it out to them, even savage owners, They knew it was longer but didn't know how.
I cut and trimmed the rear fender and they instantly saw that it was bobbed. However most non riders dont know bobber vs chopper so they called it a chopper.
Cool.

Oh BTW their price for the kit is simply outrageous. Cos the mods they have made cost all of ummmm ummmm 200 bucks.
There is a bunch of crap we dont need as well in that "Kit".
OK so who cares about shaving the bottom of the tank. The stock savage tank will give you that upper profile line/curve that fits the seat.
The biggest mod is that mondo rear shock. BTW you can get a set from a junkyard for 30 bones, one off an 80's UJM, nearly anything that is 13 inch would do, but for an example one off a nighthawk would work great. Then they have a seat/tail like a cafe racer which is a plank of plywood/steel that is laid on top of the stock seat rails and the vinyl and foam is just stapled to the wood. Simple as can be. Then there is the side covers. They I am sure made em out of fiberglass and moulds etc etc, but I am betting something like an old KZ or a CB honda has a side cover set that would get close to it.
Then pipe and a flat handlebar and what not and you're home free. I'd actually use a smaller dia front wheel probably an old dirt bike rear wheel and level out the bike with the deraked and lowered front.
Seriously if I had 300 bucks and you didn't want painted and shiny crap and you didn't care about finishing the side covers or some little plastic/fiberglass/metal work, you'd get change back.
They put the ignition key and other BS where the speedo used to go in the center of the tank ... WTF, this bike has the ignition key under the seat on the left. Why get it into the tank ... stupid idea. The speedo and idiot lights are in the center of the tank, that is the best feature of this bike, you dont have to worry about swapping triples out or even a whole FE out with a dirt bike cos the guages done need to be mounted anywhere.
Seriously its easier to build a better cafe than they did and cheaper.
However see I can build 1 with wrecking yard parts, but if you have ambitions of building say 30 a year where are you going to get 30 sets of KZ side covers or 30 pairs of 13 inch shocks.
Anyway good example. Maybe time to start looking for a savage to cafe ?

One thing I have to say about the whole "riding it 462 miles" part - ok so in 462 miles you hated it so much you had to cut its frame and weld on a hardtail huh ... OK so in those 462 miles did you ever think ... Man this bike would be so much cooler if only I felt every ripple in the road and every pebble in the road affected its handling by upsetting the chassis. Man that would make this POS jap crap awesome.
OK so if that was the case, why didn't you sell the POS as is and buy a wrecked one for 1000 bucks.
Oh yea, that 462 miles, its still 462 miles more than the fools around here ride before cutting and hardtailing their POS.
Cool.

http://charlotte.craigslist.org/mcy/2410438197.html <- oh wait a sec ... its same as the first one ... and look its an older ad, with a lower $ ... so it doesn't sell @ 2800 with this "this bike has been done for 1 1/2 years, it has been to 7 shows and has 7 trophies. none below 3rd place. " and what is the logical thing to so, raise it to 3200 and just say "show winner" I tell ya man, crack ... it does seriously terrible things.

"Carbs have just been fully rebuilt...There is a small leak coming from #4 carb."
"THIS BIKE IS CURRENTLY IN PIECES. This bike has been hand built and moched up, it was torn down to finish and I lost interest in the project. It requires very little to be finished." (a box of
junk parts that may or may not create something that looks like a bike. If it was so easy, why not complete it Duh!)
Man. I never knew there were so many people living in motorcycle la la land. What's the deal, turning a bike into a bobber transforms you into a tard, or tards have a penchant for turning everyday normal bikes into ugly heaps a bobber crap and then asking top dollar for them?

"runs great.... May need a light Carb Cleaning"
Which is it? It either runs great in which case it needs nothing - or - it does not run great in which case it MAY need carb cleaning. My interpretation is, it does Not run great, seller knows it's a dog or genuiinly thinks it's just carbs (I think the former and just saying the later to get a sale).

And this thread is making me laugh so hard my chemical burns on my face are hurting like a sonofabiuttch.
A nice stock savage is worth 1400 bones, and worth every $. Any of these ratty ass mods are worth less.
I made a chopper that had a 9 degree rake. It was also bobbed, but was unique in the sense, it looks like a factory bike and was reversible in 30 mins. The FE was pretty cool too. KX500 FE with custom triples wiht the rake in em. The bike would have sold @ 2300, but that guy after checking it etc on saturday said he'll call me wednesday, and funny thing ... he did, sadly I had got rear ended on monday. I decided on selling it to him when the dust settled with only a salvage title and no real damage for 1300 ... cool cos insurance paid me 2500. Booya ... He even waited a month to pick it up.

I never thought of that. A GS500-powered quad would be quite powerful yet easy to maintain.
gs powered quad was a bad idea as any factory 450 quad have more power high rev-ability more reliable and weigh less. my polaris predator 500 quad is a single cylinder 498cc (at stock bore) 42 hp. Big bore kit , exhaust and carb work and your over 50hp plus its liquid cooled.
Singles don't outlast twins between re-builds as far as I know. I'd love to learn differently.

someone locally had sold one. it looked as though it belonged htere. i knew the engine. because i sold the engine to the guy lol. i just wish i had taken or copied the picture of hte finished bike. whether its worse or better is irrelevant. i jus like the gs. or anythign associated with it

yup. everythign matches. price. like a beaten used car could use some help though
I'd actually like a quad motor in a GS, like a 700 raptor motor ... I got the mz, but I think a gs frame would have been better ... but the suspension, wheels and everything else on the mz is waaaaaay better.
Cool.

Far as im concerned, it takes more talent and motivation to bring something old back to life and restore it, then it does to chop it to shaZam!, graft on random parts of unrelated bikes, and call it a bobber...
now, if it was made from scratch, thats a different story.
Made from scratch is easy if you have an unlimited budget. Open the catalog and buy everything that looks like it will fit.
The creativity ... in in the paint in that case. I cant stand it.
It actually takes talent IMHO to put random parts together on something and actually make it look and work right. And no a side ways hung tail light/licence plate combo on your footpeg isn't it.
Classic example - my newest GS is an 93 with a 07 body on it. That really with or without the body installed, looks right. Couple little things are off, but nothing major at all. :bowdown: and no I didn't do this one. I have done it in the past on an 89 but not this one. I dont like 01+ tail sections but well, otherwise its a good job.
I am working on a buell blast/GR650 basterd ... lets see how it ends up.
Cool.

I for one, can't wait to see how it ends up........so be sure to post plenty of pics so I can stea...I mean borrow some ideas.

That actually is the whole point of this entire thread ... how people take a perfectly functional and normal albeit boring motorcycle and turn it into a garbage home made creation that looks awful and works even worse ...
That ninja is a travesty ... but I think he just unbolted the tail section ... the tail is removable like on an sv, but then you just hang a small bracket on the frame and put a seat on it and call it a bobber :cookoo:

I've been missing out. This thread about made me fall out of my chair laughing.
OK fine I admit it, after someone pointed out how a lot of these Idiots call their bikes "Custome" - I satrted searching for it in addition to Bobber and see what turned up ...
http://charlotte.craigslist.org/mcy/2450513166.html
OK pretty much there aint no bobber and so wha tis the big point you ask ... OK yea here it is ...
1. 1985 Honda CMX250 Rebel. Wrecked in rear. No title. Parts Only. <------------- 250 rebel with the frame bent like a backrest from the pics and no title.
2. 1977 Honda CB750k. Custome Flames on tank. Minor damage. Best of the group. <------- Best of this bunch but look @ this bunch - not saying much at all, and title ?
3. 2000 SUZUKI LS650P SAVAGE. Lost N.C. title. Duplicate title. No key??? <-------- So is there a title or not ?
I bought all three of these at the same time, so they are for sale as a whole or in parts. ONLY $4000 for all..
Thanks for looking.
The Kicker ... "ONLY $4000 for all"
Lets see, 4K if these 3 were in good condition and had titles is a stretch. The savage and the rebel would be ~2500 together. The Honda may or may not bring in 1500. That is in good condition. These 3 $400 is a stretch.

I was stupid enough to let Amway cult members into my life not once, but twice. The second time I thought they may have changed to something more legit as 15 years had gone by. They insisted Amway had changed. They lied, again. It's still the same pyramid scheme selling way-overpriced merchandise you can buy at any discount outlet for a fraction. The whole business model still makes no sense. It is limited to your ability to rip-off your friends and family and your ability to convince others to do the same. All these years later I cannot fathom how Amway survives to this day. I suspect there must be a connection between Amway, Scientology, and Jehovah's Witnesses, although I've never actually established any connection other than they are all hypocrites who sell lies in a very passionate fashion. They all prey on human emotion, which is very sinful in my book.

650 Twin, New Tires, everything works, currently inspected and tagged, 18,000 miles on motor, Hard tail, fwd controls,springer seat ready too ride, NC Title in Hand, No Trades and No Shipping
The fool has run that same ad for atleast 2 years. Essentially if a redneck won the lottery and didn't want a harley, and wanted a rather average early 80's yamaha turned into a bobber with white pain, they're his target market.
No shipping: Yea dumbass, people are beating down your door wanting to ship this trash ... off to the crusher maybe.
That's a real purty paint job ... too bad the paint is laid down on a near unrideable and completely hacked up and cobbled together POS.
Cool.

At least this one comes with lots of parts:

That's all the parts that vibrated off...
That XS guy never said it was rideable. Just that everything works and is ready to ride. Now if only he'd tell me shipping to Aust... but wait, $4k for that? WTF!? Sure the man has two d!cks cause he couldn't get that silly playing with one.

That it would... Maybe bolt two together in a Moto-Guzzi style flying V? That might do it, and it'd be easier to incorporate the necessary shaft drive.

People usually are too polite to do this even to the stupidest of things. The way people tell you something looks good especially when heavily modified is by simply assuming it was a nice bike that was that way from the factory, like you have a CBR motor in a GS frame, and it completely passes attention. Of course you could put a big loud paint job on it and people comment on the paint. "Getting Looks" isn't always good, in fact it is more likely to be bad. Our eyes tend to go to
The big mod should entirely slip by un noticed. A hack job that looks like a hack job ... well this aint 1935 where just having your knucklehead made you a 1%'er. In 2011 making somehting look like it was made in 1935 aint fooling no one. It clearly shows people you dont have the brains to do more than throw random sheite into a pile and weld it up and call it a bike.
I am no purist modify I'll any bloody thing, but it has to look and fit like it came from the factory, not your redneck garage/welding shop/hole in the ground.

WTF ... It runs great, I ride it etc etc ... but one more of those things 99% done and waiting for ever for the last 1%.
Same with a 100 things. Several amps and CD players I have modded, need to drill bolt holes in the cabinet and bolt it back or stupid sheite like that.

It did say he has all the stuff to finish it, although one must wonder why he doesn't do that then, it'd just be a solid day's wiring and connecting... Methinks there's something wrong with the engine, and his hope is that you only figure that out after you reassemble it all and attempt to start it.
There is an sv in charlotte - or it could be a TL1000s that literally is like that exact bike, 2 little point lights in front, a strip led lights under the seat and that is almost all that has in addition to this. I saw it screaming down the road one day ~3months ago. No guages no nothing. doesn't even look like it had wires for guages or a minimal veypor type. Nothing.

Poor schrodinger, he never thought he'd be dragged through the mud for his theory ... but ryott52 - is it Heisenberg ? or Schrodinger, I'n not certain about which ... :icon_twisted: ...
BTW this fool friend of mine has that same bike that he cafe'd. He plonked 300 bones on a 69 duc tank for that cafe look, after he bought that bike for 800 bucks running but with 45K miles and only 1/2 the bike was even there. The fool has over 2g in it, it looks 1/2 decent for a cafe (I have to give credit where credit is due - he can sand and paint and even fabricate some stuff like seat cowls, but he has no sense of proportion or aesthetics or even common sense) and you even think it looks fine from the side. But get in front or behind and the motor is so freaking huge for a cafe it looks like you're riding the motor. Worse yet, it handles like trash - yea skinny a$$ tars and massive motor and lowered and de raked and hacked and welded can do that, and finally the kicker is, 4 cyl yamaha motors before 83 had a defect in the transmission, they tend to jump out of 2nd, 3rd or 4th, this one is losing 4th. I think his is a 650, but all of em, 550, 650, 750 all the way to 1100 pre 83 ate trannies. The 1100's had 1 saving grace, they had a transmission you can get to from under the bike without taking off the motor and splitting it top down.
Cool.
Buddha.
I think Heisenberg and Schrodinger both apply there. They both deal with uncertainty in quantum physics, and one cannot tell whether the welds on this bike are sufficient without riding it, e.g. observing the state of the hardtail. As for the tranny issue, is there a permanent fix or is one stuck just constantly repairing?

LOL, Id buy it from that guy just so I can meet him!
All this talk about quantum physics on this subject is why hard tails largely disappeared. Shocks and springs, whether they're dual or single, work better than a well-designed hard tail unit, which is something worthy of praise in the past but not in the present or future, IMHO. Our grandfathers knew this, but our generation is more concerned with appearance than substance. I will admit there is a beauty in designing a hard tail unit that works decently at modest speeds on decent roads, but to me it's in the past. Yeah, hard tails look great, but to trade the ride it yields to the ride even our modest GS500 has? No, thanks! When I have my friend Brian build me a bobber, it's gonna have springs, and they won't be in the seat!
They like hardtails cos they are "minimalistic", and clueless fools claim "there is less to go wrong".
Except sadly they are cutting off a bike to weld on some garbage hard tail kit that costs 500 bones minimum and well, how many times has a shock caused you grief that you couldn't get home. Yea, exactly.
Cool.

They take a perfectly functioning bike, like a virago, gs500, shadow or whatever, cut off all the reliable stuff that really can't break, or almost ever break, and then chop off factory parts and welds that were done by a machine and x-ray inspected to make sure the welds were good, only to stick weld on some tube stock that's probably the wrong thickness and a dissimilar metal to the stock frame....
Which may crack while riding due to having no shock absorption, have the rear end break off, and cause you to slide down the blacktop in your trendy leather jacket, blue jeans, sneakers, and skid lids....

I hear bone makes WONDERFUL sidewalk chalk.
What tripe is this guys ... of course that can never happen to "them" ... cos "they" never ride it. That riding thing vaporised the instant they sat on that torture device to roll it back in the garage after they welded up the hardtail kit.
The coolest thing about this whole weld up hardtail trend IMHO, it never makes it onto the real world. Its built by non riders, bought by non riders and put on CL every few years with a whole new set of dumbass mods and ever increasing price tags. Its one of those, I have 5,000 in the bike, I want to get atleast 4,500 for it. Yes, that 5K includes hacing off the previous owners 3K worth of mods that really was the incentive for them to pay 2500 for it, only to take a hack saw to it as soon as they got it home.
Maybe I should start a business collecting up the cut off suspension bits and waiting for the next version of "modders" to fit "suspensions" to their hardtail bikes. And I'll sell them suspensions that fit like they were made for it. And now atleast they will ride to the coffee shop and talk about how their bike so cool with a new suspension in the back.

Oh, please! May I take a crack at translating this?
"You must see this!!!"
Translation: You must see it because no one can ride it.
"This bike was built for me shortly after I got it my wife got pregnant so it needs to go."
Translation: I bought a junk Ducati and paid my buddies a lot of coin to have it turned into this awful thing. It was never about making a roadworthy bike, but an interesting (if you're bi-polar with no sense of economics) show bike. It was also about having somewhere I can hang-out at night so I wouldn't have to listen to my pregnant wife complain. It's so horrible to ride (the bike, not her, although she's not much easier!) I figured out I want to sell it faster than my wife can gestate a baby.
I don't know Buddha, the Goldwing doesn't look half bad. Probably not very comfortable to ride with the straight bars pulling you forward, but that's not exactly the idea with a bike built like that. Like you said, at least that guy appears to have some skill.
It is a huge bike for a cafe racer ... Remember the amazon ... or the Mammut ...

It is rather large, I'm not sure the builder knows what a cafe racer is. It strikes me as more of a beach cruiser type bike than anything that could be considered a racer.
just chopped everything off a virago and sprayed it satin. 1000$ profit. bike looked 100 times more badass, so..........
http://washingtondc.craigslist.org/nva/mcy/2572123067.html
Speaking of Viragos...
A Virago, atleast the 85 or 86 and later 700/750/1000/1100 can be bobbed without hacking anything off ... similar to a savage. Savage is even easier though, but a virago is a weekend job, savage is an hour ...
The older virago I dunno ... I wont touch those ... too much problems in the starter on em.
Cool.

About 3 years ago in Tennessee I saw a CL ad for a katana that the guy started to "convert" ... into a cruiser, apehangers were on the bike and he had long cables made for it etc etc and he had "realised" all of a sudden he doesn't have time to ride ... Yup ... no time to ride ... else he'd be riding that horror ... Yea ... right ...

I don't know Buddha, the Goldwing doesn't look half bad. Probably not very comfortable to ride with the straight bars pulling you forward, but that's not exactly the idea with a bike built like that. Like you said, at least that guy appears to have some skill.
LOL holy hell?, that bike looks like the "evilwing" i was considering buying a couple years back :technical:
Those old GW's - something about their proportions are a bit off ... its too big to be anything but a full on tour bike, but yet seems minimalistic when you do need a tour bike ... the first one of its kind ... and ergo, the most confused ...
I think they would make a good car motor, like a vortex like what starwalt is building.
Cool.
Buddha.
I know what you mean about how it seems the old GW proportions are a bit off, but when you ride one it doesn't seem that way at all. The bike actually handles decently and has good power, especially the GL1100's that came along I think two years into the model run.
Yea ... however that was the whole point. It didn't work like a tourer, and worse yet it didn't do anything else either, say would you rather have a GW or a cb750 from that same year ...
Cool.

Apparently it can be made ito a bopper.
The good: I just changed the oil and oil filter. The bike starts up on first try. I've ridden it around the neighborhood on several occasions. Only has 1313 miles. Great mpg once its road worthy. Can be customized into a bopper or a cafe racer.
And Its got great gas mileage - and
(Update: I bought a carb-kit for this bike. I took it to a local shop to have them cleaned and rebuilt. They put everything together right but the seats that the needle goes into to stop the flow of gas. Apparently there is a crack next to the seat. May need a new carburetor, which I've seen on e-bay from time to time. This bike runs good and only has 1313 original miles. Again, I don't have time for this project so I'm selling it. First $500 takes it home. I can part it out for more than that but would hate to do that to this running, low mileage bike. Thanks!)
Aaaah, cracked carbs and still great mpg. Cant beat that.
Cool.

Made offer of $150 as that's all its worth - if the engine runs. Rest of parts are junk. Seller was a jerk head. Don't need it. More value as scrap metal.
It is worth 30c a lb as scrap, just about 130 or so, your $150 was very reasonable ...

This ones I guess OK - only $500 for this POS - though it sounds like it isn't even good for parts.
Its not even street legal!
I like this line: "And, despite how it may look, it's mostly OEM or I have the OEM parts."
And this: "There will also be some electrical work to make this totally street legal (i.e., properly wired brake lights). You will need a truck or trailer to cart it to your garage. Included with the sale are all the original electronics and plastic"

Reply to: sale-n9rxw-2632322313@craigslist.org [Errors when replying to ads?]
I don't want to do it, but I am moving and need to sell this bike.
Up for grabs is my custom 1978 GS550. With just over 24,000 original miles, the bike is still in great condition. And, despite how it may look, it's mostly OEM or I have the OEM parts.
I bought it from a great mechanic/welder who took amazing care of the bike. In fact, as a part of the sale, I have been okay'd to give you his contact info in case you have any questions or need any advice on the bike. He's been extremely helpful as I learned the ropes of maintaining the bike.
Despite this, I just did not have the time/tools to keep the bike fully maintained. The battery is dead now and there is an oil leak under near the stator that I replaced. Those of you that know, the R/R in these bikes can go bad, but this one is still good according to my meter. There will also be some electrical work to make this totally street legal (i.e., properly wired brake lights). You will need a truck or trailer to cart it to your garage.
Included with the sale are all the original electronics and plastic, as well as three (yes three) seat options.
The bike is also a registered collector vehicle, so you never have to buy tabs again.
Email me with any questions or to setup a viewing.
Not a POS - but I just saw this. Sooooo tempting - even has a V&H exhaust. From what they're saying about prices of GS500's down under, I should buy these up, clean them up and put them on a boat.

Im selling my Gs500 that is in perfect working condition. It has been a daily commuter for me and now it is time for me to let it go. I am open to all reasonable offers but please no lowballers. The bike mechanically is in perfect working condition. All that is wrong with it is a missing blinker on the left side. It reads 23k and still running great. Other than that it starts right up and shifts smoothly. I would prefer call or texting at 253-330-4555. You can ask for Jay.

WTF? Another bike missing the blue cap! From what I can figure out in my parts, seems the high beam on all the time has the indicator on, which heats up that spot with the blue indicator cap. Eventually, all the heat from the bulb breaks down the glue and plastic and then one day it just pops off.

Ya know somenoe oughta call them and let them know their POS ... well aint worth the pixels the ad is printed on.
Someone should call em and offer 500 bucks if they will revert it back to stock ...
I've messed with some of em, usually encouraging the Hayabusa Idiots who say after lowering the bike is more "aerodynamic" and so it goes faster ... I suggest they drain the oil and ride it, it will go even faster, the oil just slowing them down. Most of it has been in person too, so I gotta be careful not to get beat up.

What is the obsession with turning heads? Also, between the hard tail and the leaned forward riding position what sort of back injuries do you think this causes?
One thing these fools have not got into their thick skulls ... other than the fact that they are not metal magicians and their garbage aint worth squat ... turning heads is almost always bad if it is in general populace. Most of the population doesn't know one bike from another. They will glaze over most of it ... park a Duc 916 next to a GS500 and 99% of the people cant tell the difference after walking past ... however park one of these stretched and slammed Green painted Busa's and they instantly know someone been ducking wiht it a lot. They think it must have cost a lot of $ and they do look at it, they know its out of the normal ...
Throw in a ratty a$$ "bopper" in the mix and they definetly know someone has been shopping for bike parts @ the scrap heap and know he dont have the scratch to build that busa, or he would have.
Turning heads is a good way to tell people you have more $$$ than common sense ... or neither.

In fact I dont have an email address even one that is anonymised, so I have to be called or texted and I dont get any spam email or call.
Cool.

He forgot: "the kickstand is not included or needed, the bike rests on the mufflers"
My biggest issue is the asking price and lack of title. With no title, it is basically a bunch of parts bolted together. And I'm not seeing $2500 worth of parts in those pics.......
That is shockingly crappy. WTF it is fuggggly.
Baltimore: KZ650's dont have any real value ... cut em, chop em whatever ... meeeh. Buy em cheap ride em do what you want and sell em cheap is the accepted wisdom on it. Even the hardcore KZ guys would do that, so meeeh. The shock value of this one is in 1. The price, 2. How crappy it looks, and 3. No title and 2500 WTF, Of course who would steal a KZ650 ... so its prolly not stolen ... but 2500 WTF.

if that motopig had a valid title it wasnt worth 2500. true one could get a builders title, but it would never be what it once was. it would be titled " special construction" in most locales
I dunno what that deal with the rebel is. The 250 has the exact same motor as the nighthawk. But the nighthawk runs great and the rebel - well does not.

lmfao buddah maybe he is foreign or something... send him a email letting him know that he sounds like a jack A$$ lol
Yea they dont have spell check :technical:
PS: And sadly I have had very very very little luck educating people on anything. I cant even tell people they have the stuff they are trying to sell pictured upside down.
Just about all I have been able to do is tell people that I can test the stuff out to let them know if it works - usually this is for audio equipment for which they have a deep attachment. Like Reels with their grandpa's voice on it or some weird speakers that they dont have wiring connectors for etc etc ...
Cool.

lol i had some d bag email me to tell me that i was charging to much for a in home sub... just because he found a cheep ass wall mart sony system for 120. i let him have it lol
Sub ... what sub ... better spill the beans, how much, what power ... BTW have you checked this bugger out -
OK ebay - this bugger - Behinnger iNuke.
That one - the 3000 watt version in a cabinet with a 4 pack of 18" peavey down firing subs would simply put, send an earthquake into the hood you think ?
BTW any experience with that ? you know someone who's run it ?
Cool.
Buddha.
its a advent ASW 1200 i was asking 200 or best offer.. ass hole emailed me an told me they go for 50 bucks when you can find them on amazon and ebay for 250 + s&h lol
as far as the nuke no have not heard of that.. looks insane man, they also have a 6000 thousand man and its super light wieght lol... i still got the old scool reciver that weights alsmot 50 pounds man and that little bugger is only 7 pounds :icon_eek:
By the way im more into car audio then home theater man.
Ooo advent 1200 - great - OK nothing on fleabay.
Anyway the old receivers have monster hear sinks and ridiculous transformers, both of which the nuke doesn't have. It also doesn't have the huge ass front facia and the ridiculous cabinet. Seriously the power supply is a smps, the efficiency is nearly 96% and the thing has no controls and no tuna nor front face. The thing is supposed sound great, and the yclaim its very rugged and durable - I need verification on that.
You could put a nice 5.1 preamp in front of it and run the 3000 in the front, the 1000 in the rear and a bridged 3000 as a sub and maybe a bridged 1000 for the center. In any case in 2 channel stereo it should be unbeatable too.
What old 50 lb receiver you have ?
I have like a 100 of em, pioneer everything ... I've owned every 50 series except a 1050 @ some point in the last 2 yrs, tons of kenwood, sansui, yamaha, oink etc etc.
Cool.
Buddha.
lol i just got rid of a kenwood, i have a sony that came with a plasma that i got for free... lol
and im trying to get my hands on my step dads pioneer receiver. not sure on the model or wattage but i think its around 2000 watts or something like that....
(by the way, i may have exaggerated a bit on the 50 punds more like 25 lol )
and as far as 7 punds being durable i highly doubt that lol i dont see that happening man.

I have pulled several amps apart, eliminate the trafo, the face plate the case and cut the heat sinks by 75% and get rid of the massive input panel and the tuner gang garbage and an old amp wont weigh 3lb.
That 7 lb is not bad atall, when you consider the car amps are not much heavier and they have to convert dc into ac.
Trust me, old amps have a lot of weight in them that is just that, dead weight. Pioneer IMHO was the biggest offender for size, and sansui is the biggest offender in terms of weight, cos they made the crap out of steel.
Lighter dont mean less durable, a smps is extremely durable, its a question of managing the weight properly. A gs lasts longer than an old shovel head, but that bugger is 3X the weight. Heavy monstrous parts with shiteety tolerance = blown up often.
Send me some model #'s.

On the iNuke 6000
Behringer NU6000 iNUKE 6000W Lightweight Power Amplifier
Behringer has spent years fine-tuning the high-density Class-D technology that gives the iNUKE Series its oomph. By carefully selecting transistors with extremely high slew rates and optimizing other proprietary parts of our circuitry, these amps react instantly to even the most demanding electronic bass impulses. The revolutionary high-density Class-D technology combined with ultra-efficient switch-mode power supplies ensures these feather-light powerhouses will drive your rig effortlessly for many years to come.
When this amazing amplifier technology is combined with our state-of-the-art switching-mode power supplies, these amplifiers provide tremendous punch. And because they are so much more efficient than conventional designs, they run cooler and don't require the massive heat sinks and heavy toroid transformers typically associated with their conventional counterparts.
The front panel controls and indicators provide your system's vital signs at a glance. After pressing the Power button, the Power LED lights to show the amp is ready for action. All channels feature positive-detent Gain controls with Signal LEDs that light when a signal is present, as well as clip LEDs to indicate when the signal is distorted and you need to reduce the input signal.
The rear panel is just as elegant, with combo XLR and 1/4" TRS input connectors making the iNUKE compatible with virtually any source, balanced or unbalanced. Professional twist-lock speaker sockets are provided to ensure every drop of output power gets to your loudspeakers. The rear panel is also where you'll find the switches that enable iNUKE amps to work in either dual mono, stereo or mono bridge mode. A built-in crossover switch enables the amp to operate in biamp mode, sending low frequency content to passive subwoofers, while the high frequency output is channeled to full range loudspeakers.
Sporting massive output ratings, lightweight Class-D technology, an equally lightweight price tag, and all the amenities a professional audio engineer could ask for, Behringer iNUKE amplifiers are serious amps for the most demanding applications.
Specifications: • Output power (stereo): 1,500 watts x 2 (8 ohms), 3,00 watts x 2 (4 ohms) • Frequency response: 20 Hz to 20 kHz, +0/-2 dB • Damping factor: >140 @ 8 ohms • S/N ratio: >100 dB • Power supply: 120V~, 60 Hz • Dimensions: Approx. 3.7" H x 19" W x 12.2" D • Weight: 11.7 lbs.
That is the write up from parts-express. No reviews on it yet. It is that new
I have 1/2 a mind to buy one of these it does have a warranty so you can run it WFO all day and complain if it blows up. I think ebay had a few even cheaper than PE. Bloody hell I better do it. Except I cant imagine buying the 6000, what a ridiculous power output for a home sub. WTF will you do for speakers. Some 18" car ones, except they sound like garbage. You have to suggest me some norway, 15-18" nice sounding high power and high spl monsters.
Cool.
Buddha.
hmmm well im a huge fan of cervin vega ... or how ever it is spelled... lol
they do cost a whole hella lot though.. idk let me do some research and ill get back to you on this subject, but i def just learned a few new things that i need to look into
CV - muhahaha ... JBL's that dont kill tweeters.
JBL's are IMHO some of the most over rated POS'es out there. The highly regarded L series, L100's, L80's L 60's L 150's whatever, never seen a set wiht working tweeters. Worse yet, I dont know why they're that way, they have ceramic tweets like many manufacturers, including onkyo used in the old days, those dont kill tweets.
Anyway the absloute holy grail of the old speakers is the old school EV/JBL/Altec/Klipsch and more, they mostly were made out of EV components. massive metal mid range horns, huge cast frame woofers and the very very nice T350 tweeter. Or the 2 ways klipsch made using a deeper mid range horn. Those KHorns are a good example.
Oh dude before you buy stuff let me know, there are a good many fools in your area who sell trash for big $, and apparently are succesful @ it, well in my area too. That fool with his picture in all the CL ad's - yea he even looks like Billy Mays. But there always are people who think they can fool others and people who themselves have been fooled. The crooked and the clueless.
Cool.
Buddha.
lol i think im one of those crooks.. i have sold stuff to ppl that i almost could not keep a straight face on haha
but when i try to be legit i get no where man its like a curse...
but JBL rocks im step dad got two 15s and some other stuff to go along with that receiver i was telling you about. i just cant remember the parts number or watts gonna have to look into that since you sparked my curiosity lol
as far as tweeters go... i have no frikin clue man, i know a little about the in car tweets as in if its a component system it will be louder then just the built in tweeter crap that you see on most speakers lol
He he, it is hard being legit.
JBL is pretty decent performing stuff, especially the professional grade woofers are phenomenal, however they put a titanium or a ceramic dome tweeter in some of their old stuff that must have had some design flaw in its crossover or something. They burn up. BTW JBL also intentionally voiced their assembled speakers to be flat on the mid range. Its bass and treble. No mids.
Of course you build a system with JBL components then obviously your design of cross over etc would take precedence.
I know nothing of car audio, all this is house audio.
Cool.
Buddha.
http://washingtondc.craigslist.org/nva/mcy/2687254079.html
Would a CB550 this old be worth this much even without being hacked to bits?
lol thats funny as shaZam! buddah ur the home audio tech and im the car audio tech...
two half = a whole right? (no ghey shaZam!) lol
the legit thing... let me tell you my story man....
ight so i bought a camera of CL and i thought it was i digital camera with a sd card.. well it was digital but it had the old school films in it... i obviously didnt not want that old pos and i paid 80 bucks for it.
So after looking into the wanted to buy section i found a guys looking for "haunted items...." bahahah
dude long story shot, i made up this retarded story about how shaZam! was moving around my house blah blah blah... and sold the camera to retard for 120 bucks lol...
I would like to see someone beat that ha!
Oooo nice.
Nothing to top that but I buy stuff that is supposedly broken, which I ge tworking by putting on or off some switch.
$5 dead onkyo tx3000, ok I get it home, and get it working by pushing the tape monitor button.
I dont con them, I dont tell them its broken - nothing, I dont even talk ... I hand em their asking $ and get it.
Cool.
Buddha.
lol i got a 51 inch plasma tv for free because the dude though it was broke.. well all that was wrong with it was the reciver unit. i just hoked it up to my laptop and it works perfectly, if i wanted to i could just buy a new box for it 100-300 bucks and it will work with cable as well...
since its a plasma i got the audio receiver with it which i been using with that sub i was telling you about... shakes my whole damn house lol
Oh I guess I am also conning people - I sell old audio to people who have no clue that those behringer iNuke types are available.
Seriously though I think those buggers have to be tried out ... not only does behringer make them, peavey, qsc, crown and several others have their own versions. Peaver is called ipr series, crown I believe is called ctl series, no idea what qsc is called ...
BTW you can build one of those by buying a high power chip amp off fleabay, I am making one inside a dead yamaha rx-v870 chassis, hopefully I'd use all the rest of the amp - the uner, the switching the volume and the trafo as well as the remote ctrl all of which do work after I pulled out the power amp circuit - which was blown up in it cos the rear amp part must have had speakers short and kill it - rear is common to be blown up cos the rear in the HT setup of old was small speakers on stands, so those stands can short the terminals ...
Cool.
Buddha.
hm well see most subs already come with a built in amp so whats the point of having all this power unless your running insane mids and highs??? i just dont get that part lol :confused:
as far as building my own... lol i think i pas im so damn accident prone that i might just burn my whole house down due to faulty connection or some other :bs:
p.s. im still surprised i got the GS running from first try lol
HEY! if you want to talk amps and stuff, do it on another thread. This is for POS Self Made Bobbers at superinflated prices.

lol buddaha hijacked his own thread!
Yea point taken.
And here goes - http://charlotte.craigslist.org/mcy/2670184542.html
What a POS ... sadly for an extra $7 he could have slapped a trailer fender and had it look and work a lot better.
Even better, he could ahve trimmed the stock fender for free and had a 1000 times better bobber.
And even better (ok starting to sound stupid) the stock shocks would not have been any different, that thing was very very low anyway.
And WTF $2500 - I didn't get that for my raked out chopper bobber. I had a 9 degree with a dirt bike FE, and still only managed 1400, I got a bite @ 22 got rear ended the next day, got pay off from insurance and sold it for 1400 with salvage title in 2010. And you do know that exposing a dinky little belt drive without the chain guard and engine cover is pretty much like a naked poster of a fat guy right ... it needs to be covered up and with good reason.
And this is priceless - "This always turnes heads" sadly so does a naked poster of a fat guy ... the other way ...
Cool.

*peers closer at the pictures* Hold up wait. Look. There's paint on the sheet of printer paper under the kickstand to catch black paint. Look at the fork tubes. There's paint on them except where they go down. And look at the heat wrap on the pipes. There paint spray where they meet the block.
That...that means he didn't paint the parts off the bike. He just sprayed the whole thing where it stood. Does this even qualify as Amateur-Hour? :o

But wait, it has a Hypercharger.
What is a hypercharger?
Best answer is...
In theory, it makes the bike breath better... In reality it causes jetting issues, costs a lot of money, and is covered with cheaply coated chrome that peels up (or in this case it gets rattle can sprayed black).... IMO they create a lean spot at highway speeds in a narrow range which makes it difficult to compensate for by jetting...
Do you think he would be insulted if I offered him my best offer of... yeah, I'll take it off your hands for only $100 paid to me to cart it away.

"The down fall, is I moved onto a military base and for me to ride it on the base, it has to have front brakes which I am in the process of putting on now."
Yeah, those bastards, fancing wanting him to have a roadworthy bike before being allowed to ride it on base. The hide of them. Sound like he better go Occupy their piece of grass beneath the flag pole until he gets he's free ramon noodles.

Well somebody is buying other peoples POS bobbers because I see the post have been deleted when I do a search on Craigslist checking for someone that wants to sell for a reasonable price.

Ugh, someone used the word "Resurrected" when they should have used "Basket Case." and he said 'The pilot jet may need to be changed since it takes 5 to 10 minutes of ridding before keeping a steady idle."
BUT.... That yellow Yamaha Cafe bike in the background doesn't look too bad.
I rather like the bandit too, I guess he's only selling his piles and keeping the good ones.

This eyesore is available for the low low price of $4800. And, it's mostly put together, only needs the wiring, carbs, drive, controls, and a tune-up.

Oh its a xj550 on top of that. POS. One fool I know plonked down 600 on a xj650 with 45K miles, after saying my $750 xs650 with 5K was too much $$$, then he proceeded to without even riding it 10 miles, strip it and plonk down a further 2-3g turning it into a cafe racer. The bike had a ducati tank and a custom made tail etc, looked good actually except for the 4 cyl lump ... and 200 miles later the transmission started junping out of 2nd and 3rd.
Yamaha pre 83 or 84, 4 cyl motors had transmissions that went on em. The xj 550, 650, 750, 900 and 1100's all of em. The 1100's had a 2 storey engine case you can get to the tranny by flipping the bike over and going through the pan and not go through the top.

Apparently you don't have to bob a bike anymore to call it a bobber, you just put ape hangers and aluminum grips on it. Then charge about $2000 more than it's worth.
Oh yea, and it has flat black paint doesn't it, yea its a bobber then.

lol. that first comparo versus the birthday jacket. whats the difference in style. never compared the two
p.s. regarding the pocket bike. that is retail hes asking as far as being street legal. its above a certain size they are. with minimal licensure if any.
I actually have a buddy who races pocket bikes.. he had a street legal one, They are classified as mopeds "most" of the time... When we're were younger he had two of them that we use to zip around the area with. never went out on any "Main roads" just unlined-dotted/private roads. My area when we we're little all had our fair share of Go-carts Dirtbikes pocket bikes all that fun stuff you like to do when your younger! Until the POS new HOA owner came in and started to make ghey rules.. Now when my motorcycle was running use to sit infront of my friends house [his house is right next door] and REV the shaZam! outta my little GS and piss him off cause he knew he couldn't do ANYTHING. 9:59 PM? Oh time to stop. :D did it every day for like a Week. He hates kids, yet my place has kids playing outside all the time.. feel bad for the new ones sorta. Wish I had my old gokart and donate to one of them. They look so freakin board now days. Funny thing actually is. People say kids don't go outside much.. Yet my area is filled with kids of all ages outside! Can't go a day without working on my bike and one of them walking up to me and having a nice chat about what I'm doing. some people hate kids - I surely don't. Only problem I have now days.. Is if you give a younger kid a coke, your now a pedophile! I also think they like me cause I give out soda... idk no parents complained to me yet. so I keep doing it! ^_^ hey I had people do that for me when I was their ages why should it be any different now!?
Mary I don't even know if you see them in your area of Florida, but I see bicycles with friction engines on them, Cruising down 192.. Now that's freakin funny.
i ride those friction engined bicycles. they are fun. well mine were clutch driven. btu liek this. canhit 30. my time trials bike almost got up to 55 ( 54.9 by gps )

I always wanted one of those.. How are they going up hill?
Reason why I was making fun of them. cause 192.. is kinda a death trap here.
i built one for a friend out of an old ass huffy beach cruiser using the 66cc engine. listed on egay as 80cc lol. it pulls hills nearly 18mph. a decent slope too.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hb2Cfhd3aXs LMFAO this reminds me of my scott waimea speeds.
Ride 192 daily. Almost nailed a pocket bike next to Sam's club. Guy was riding it toward me in the dark and it only came up to my knee. Talking about a death wish!
I'm sorry but if you and the ride aren't at least 5ft tall when mounted you shouldn't be on a road!

have no idea what 192 is. HOWEVER ill say, if its anything other than a 2lane street then ill agree with you. 2lane streets, street legal pocket bikes and motorised bicycles have a right to be there. if its classified as a highway, then usually not.
http://washingtondc.craigslist.org/mld/mcy/2862254210.html
I quite like how he's covered up how he's mangled the rear end with ammo cans and olive drab bags.
Back to the point, I have a 1982 KZ750R that I use as a commuter and will be selling soon. When I look online for other KZ750's to figure out pricing, 2/3rds of them are bobber'ed. The KZ750 is a beautiful and very functional bike. The bobbers that I see are not.
I like the old KZs Juan, where are you and how much are you thinking about selling for?

U.S. Route 192. 4-6 (or more?) lanes. That guy is an idiot to have a pocket bike out there.

I'm in San Diego. The bike is a STOCK 1982 GPz 750, back from when the GPz was a KZ with a black engine, black pipes, Eddie Lawson fairing, and 5 more horsepower. It works great, but has rust on the pipes, and could use a repaint as the factory paint is in 30 year old shape. The least I could let it go for is 1500, and I'm in no hurry to sell. The chain, sprocket, and rear tire all have Les than 100 miles on them, though that will change in the coming weeks.
I still need to restore the front rim with some sand paper, paint and polish. If I were to decide to keep it I'd do a full repaint and replace the factory pipes.

If I build that, and make it clean, can I ask for 4k for it?
It'll be functional! :thumb:
I doubt it.
Yeah, not sure something you can do with a hacksaw and an afternoon makes the bike worth 4 grand.
BTW that is so cute ... I'll be the first to sdmit, I wont fork over 4K but I will fork over the street value of a GS+200 atleast.
That if it is that cute looking is worth atleast 200 even if I'd prefer the 89-00 body for that hack job.
Cool.

Im not talking about a hack job. im talking about removing the rear subframe, smoothing the holes, filling them, rebuilding/repurposing the rear section (to be function as factory with key to remove seat) re-weld it, grind it down nice and smooth, and get the entire bike powder coated.
I dont do hack jobs.
I do cheap jobs.
Yea I guess that should be more $$ than a GS. but I have powdercoated stuff, I have had frames done for 150-200 ... the cutting and welding and powdercoat I'd probably rate as a 750-1000 buck job, if you would find someone who wants a $2500 GS.

Doing cutting and welding myself, and minus the cost of equipment, I'd be reusing the stock parts, just configured differently.
Now, to practice my welding skills. Last time I welded was mig and tig. I fail at tig, but did good with mig, ugly, but good penetration w/o blow through.
I plan on getting a stick welder, and using 1/16 electrodes. Should get good pentration, but it'll be ugly, but being im grinding it down and making it pretty, so it dont matter. I have a friend that can inspect my work for safety, and I plan on practicing on bicycles and other thin-walled things first (neighbors kids bike gets turned frankenbike overnight, and nobody know how the huffy grew a chainsaw motor, mount, and throttle contol =) )

Ah c'mon Buddha - its got bar end mirrors so it must be a cafe! :D
That bike does kind of concern me though. The lack of a front fender (and therefore brace), stretched swinger, and a "custom frame" from what I can see. Might be a nice bike, might not.

See the whole deal with a girder front end is the fact that you can separate the springs and hydraulics. That makes it easier to service the hydraulics if needed. Also the rake can be changed by changing the lengths of those linkages its got. Really cool, albeit heavy. I have also heard its not that heavy though ...
Cool.

But still, a peanut tank, a set of smooth bores with uni filters that will disintegrate in a few 100 miles, even sooner if the bike back fires on startup, and the very definition of class, the carbs being held on with a radiator hose ... yea that's worth 3200.

many bikes with both kickstart and battery will not start via kick, unless battery is installed. its part of the circuit. even if battery is dodgy, still necessary
A little bit more than I'd be willing to pay (but not too much more) and I'd like to see the pipes end in the scrambler shrouded mufflers, but this one looks to be pretty nicely done.

I've been eyeing CL360's lately. Originally was looking for a CB350 or 360 Twin, which is what my dad had while I was young, but I'm finding that the looks of the scrambler are pulling me stronger than family nostalgia is. :)
Any CL360 I get will likely end up with a slight Cafe Racer transformation anyways, so this one is looking pretty sweet. I'd prefer to not actually bob the frame though.

Doug, just making sure you know: they made CL350's as well. Basically just like the CB350 with some minor differences and scrambler pipes. The 360's are completely different motors (and chewed up camshaft bearings due to poor oiling).

That looks exactly like the one I pulled off my GS when I dropped it. Definitely paid a guy 10 bucks for the one off his parts bike.

As much as I dont like it, it may be one of those few bikes that may be worth the $. Amen savior frame (looks like one or a damn good copy) and a durfee FE. The rake on a durfee can be changed by making a pair of those linkages. Easy, 10 min job. I know someone who has one on his savage. Really cool.
Then there is a cb1000 ? I never heard of a 1000 - 1100 yea, 900 yea, not a 1000 till you get to the 90's.
Cool.

Why do people insist on doing this to old CB750s?

That also looks like an amen savior or one of those amen others ...
I think it could be done a lot better IMHO ... I saw one in sacramento back in the 90's, it was disabled on the side of the road with a broken chain if I recall and had a typical silver and blue flame paint job with flecks of silver ... however the bike was something that could have passed for a factory bike. Its back end was more like a savage than any hack job, and the front was also well made. Looked like factory literally, cant describe it any other way.
Cool.

What's an "amen savior?"
Frame maker from the mid west - I believe mid west ... but here is a link to a scan of a catalog from them from the 70's ...

Back when you could buy a frame for 300 bucks and move all the parts over off your bike if you ahve wrecked it and ruined your day. I will now read up on it and correct my mis conceptions ...
Cool.

i believe it is an amen frame. both of em. the coffin tanks. ( one i rode also had one. ) helps. but idk about 2800. close but idk :dunno_white:
Amen frames are cool because ... well they're not around any more. Sorta like a myers manx is cool. Cos you had to have got one in the 70's if you want one ... impractical yes, but atleast it is rare and old.
Cool.

I don't know, I guess I just don't "get" the chopper look. Especially when you have an inline-4 in a chopper frame, it just looks sort of empty.
