Title: Re: Great bobber project Post by: afghanman on October 29, 2009, 09:12:07 PM Rarity value Shaun. Nice big single though 8)
Title: Re: Great bobber project Post by: hornet6 on October 29, 2009, 10:40:46 PM funny u should mention that as the frame that IVE built is similar to that.Ime using a divvy 600 engine and kwaka gpz 1000 forks n wheels.I keep saying that i will put pics on to show how far ive got...but....the problem i got is lack of funds.Moneyies been crap this year so have done hardly anything to it this year.Will get the pics on this weekend and you lot can make up your own mind.Will probably never finish it the way things are going.

Title: Re: Great bobber project Post by: hornet6 on October 31, 2009, 12:55:30 PM thanks andy.I have made a bit of progress and will put the pics on very soon under this thread. ::) ::)
Title: Re: Great bobber project Post by: afghanman on October 31, 2009, 04:13:40 PM Look forward to seeing your build hornet. Some old bikes have got some very interesting features, it makes a change to see bikes built with a nod to the past.

Title: Re: Great bobber project Post by: Manky Monkey on October 31, 2009, 11:14:00 PM That's some gorgeous workmanship there Hornet. Lovely.
Title: Re: Great bobber project Post by: hornet6 on October 31, 2009, 11:36:26 PM Thanx again andy.Its my first attempt so ime quite proud of what ive done so far.The problem is that ive got a load of ideas in my head and not enough dosh in my pockets.I wanted to finish this one and start on a proper bobber with a big single thumper in it,like i intended to do in the fist place.Only last week a yam 660 engine went on e/bay for a mere 105 quid,all in working order.The average price of those are around 375 and upwards so i was well gutted.I also wanna try n make a cafe racer with a big single or a twin,and again build the frame and all the brackets myself.

Title: Re: Great bobber project Post by: hornet6 on November 02, 2009, 09:34:40 PM also,while we,re on the subject of ideas, i was gonna try and do another hard tail bobber style creation with a single-sided swing arm......can u whip the hub and wheel off that speed triple mr manky.Ime sure i could find it a good home ;D ;D ;D
Title: Re: Great bobber project Post by: Manky Monkey on November 02, 2009, 09:41:09 PM Certainly. For 2 & a half grand, I'll throw in the rest of the bike too. ;)
