New to the site just wanted to show off my project. This is my first bike ever, and my first bobber build. I started the project thinking it would be an easy job. just rigid up the ass end and cut the fender. Boy was I completely wrong; but I will say im happy with the progress so far. Hoping to have it done to ride this spring and summer.

Couldn't even get close to what I have accomplished so far without lots of help, from good friends.

I decided to go with bare steel with just clear coat over it. Here is a look at the gas tank

Added a new seat but had to cut the frame to allow the shock to work like its supposed to.

a little more grinding and this is how she sits right now. I still have to finish mounting the rear fender and get all that wiring contained. after that its all about putting it back together. I have to have the carbs rejetted and syncd new front fork seals and new brake pads all around. ... nearly there after I started this "easy" project almost a year ago.
