Coast to Coast
ive been gaining interest in bobbers. not over the top choppers, but classic looking bobbers.
a few questions i had..
what are peoples thoughts on those 200cc hardknock bobbers. the ones that are shipped to you in pieces? the thought of completely assembling a motorcycle sounds pretty cool, even if its just a 200cc to putt around on now and again.
the pros of that i think are that every piece is new and youre not buying someone else's neglect and problems.
or, would it be better to find another 70's cb or gs or xs or whatever and bob that.
my next question is, can it be a bobber without welding a hard-tail on? the roads around detroit are terrible at best.
could i basically leave the stock shocks on and just chop the extra off the frame in the back and mount a good solo seat. as well as repainting the frame, maybe a new tank, a lamplight headlight and some drag bars and calling it my bobber?
