Re: 72 R5 bobber Cruiser Thing Paint Started No bling here, and the bars are high enough they wont hit the ground. I tried some Red primer on the tank and fender with a little grey primer for contrast. I think i should have tried taking the dents out and sanding it first . It doesnt look...

Re: 72 R5 bobber Cruiser Thing Paint Started I must admit this bike is kinda heading in a different direction than I had originally intended, It started out as a simple clean bobbed R5. Then I decided to add the rear fender. Then i found an old set of Cushman crash bars (will post pics once I...

Re: 72 R5 bobber Mockup Is Finished I have a feeling its going to be a bitch to get the jetting right, I think that I may be able to get it. The mainfold that runs to the carbs is pretty symmetrical and smooth. We'll see. The plan was to do a full rear triangle but the way the frame is under...

Re: 72 R5 bobber Mockup Is Finished Mock up is FINISHED This is pretty muck how it will look when its done. The frame is going to get welded and a coat of paint and the inlet tube also needs welded up but aside from that my rat is done, I think I may actually decide to give her a flat black...

Re: 72 R5 bobber work in progress (all hail the 2 stroke bobber!!) I thought about going the way you did on your bike for the rear of the seat, but the way I ride my cafe I need the rear of the seat to support my ass on that full throttle 1-2 and 2-3 shift. These guys with their 4 strokes will...

Re: 72 R5 bobber work in progress (all hail the 2 stroke bobber!!) The top of the tank has 4 dents on that top that dont show up in the pictures. it looks like someone stood on it in the past. If i do re paint it i will repaint it just as it is and make the rear fender match. I like the look...

Re: 72 R5 bobber work in progress thanks for the positive feed back guys. I got the fender mounted, Im really suprised at how well this bike is coming together. Its got me wanting to make it nice instead of leaving her a multicolored rat. Tomorrow im going to tackle the air cleaner and air...

This is a build I have been working on for a couple years. Ive had the bike for 13 years, it was my dads bike when he was in high school. It has a whopping 3700 miles on it as of today. I rode it while I was in school and put it up for 10 years. Heres some pics of her when I dug her out of the...
