Guys, I need some help here. You are all familiar with the Japanese bobbers. How on earth do the get the front so low? Does one change the forks or increase sag by cutting coils and adding spacers or what? Please help me as this is important to me. Thanks JF

Thanks guys for the advice. I will think about what I want and which is the best solution for the moment. Ass soon as I´m done, pics will be published on my blog. Tomorrow I will paint my swing arm with POR-15. We will see how that turns out. Thanks again JF

Do you just drill holes close to the lower shock mount and have a a bar around the fender or what? I will consider mounting directly to the frame, if I can get the lines I´m looking for. Building bikes is like porn, I need pictures or videos to get it. Erotic novels don´t get make it for...

No welding I´m afraid. I just don´t want the thing to rattle and move around while driving. Any ideas on how to make a hugger without horrible bars all over?

Guys I need help How do I get around to mount my front fender as my rear? What options do I have? Anyone who made a bobber might sit on the information (if you have a rear fender). I have four places to mount the bracket as I see it. 1. Battery holder bracket 2. cross bracing between right and...

Not being a Honda or Yamaha, I guess I just lost 80% of you guys already ;) I want a longer swing arm on my bike. 2-3" would be nice. Does any of you have any ideas of what might fit? Gs500? GS550? Thanks for any help in this matter. JF

I know a weird-ass when I see one. :) I think the road sign thingy started by the hot rod guys (or rat rods rather) that used them as floors in their early Fords. Recycling rules!!!!!!! I just wished I could recycle an old Triumph hardtail frame soon. JF

Thanks. Always nice to get some cred. Keep coming back, almost daily updates on the blog. There are soooooo many fantastic bikes out there, and sooooooo many butt ugly as well. I am getting an allergy from most HD´s, so much kit-bikes and so little fantasy, and damn expensive as well. Most...

Hi guys Yesterday I made a seat for my bobber/bratstyle bike out of an old road sign I found in the forrest. The result is here. How I made it, you can watch at my blog http://japbobbers.blogspot.com/ Comments are welcome
