This thread will be of my completed 1983 Honda Nighthawk 550 bobber build. Just so all of you already know, I have since completed the build and sold the bike. This will be more of a pictures thread due to it already being done and out the door!!
To start off, I found the bike 3 hours away for $175 and picked it up on a work night. A co-worker of mine came with me to pick it up and to keep me company, we sang the crap out of Little Big Town’s rendition of the Crawdad song the whole way back. It was a blast.
Here is the bike upon picking it up.
Teardown Beginning!!!
I started building this bike out of our townhome garage. It was pretty small, but bigger than my last garage.
Sportster Tank mock up
Decided to cut the whole Tail section off and make it rigid (bad idea)
Mocking up bars and such with the tank
