Been wanting to add a foot clutch to my build but was having a hard time finding the right master cylinder for the hydraulic clutch on my 83 nighthawk. Came across this rear brake master cylinder with the same bore size as a stock hand clutch but the mounting points are meant for it to be on the right side of the bike. Any builders out there think mounting it in this position would be a bad idea? I’m concerned that fluid could leak from the gasket sine it’ll be upside down. Thoughts?

Hello everyone!

I’m looking into some Bobber-ish mods on my 535, inside what’s legal here, because I can’t do a lot.

Trying to start with rear fender swap, making one that’s as close as possible to the tire, attached to the shaft swing, as it’ll go up and down with the tire and not have a problem with it. Problem is, whenever I try to find pictures of it, I get back designs for the 250, which doesn’t have a shaft drive and therefore, different attachment points. Does anyone have close-up pictures of one to help me? I’m not having luck googling it.

Trying to buy it only has the fender for sale, no attachment bar/rods whatever.

Second mod I’m looking into is tank lift and speedometer relocation. That’s another thing that whenever I try to Google, only Harley results show up, nothing about 535s. Has anyone ever seen those? I’m looking for ideas.

I can’t simply delete those as they’re legally required where I live, otherwise if stopped by the police that’s vehicle apprehension at sight.

Also looking into fabricate those as, due to currency exchange, imports would make me poor. The fender I saw would go for almost a whole minimum wage after import taxes.

Thank you all in advance!

9987 original miles. It's a lot of fun to ride. I get a lot of comments from people.

I’m sure this has been beaten to death on this sub. But I’d really like to turn this thing into an “instagram” bobber. Cut the rear fender and lower it. Different exhaust probably kinetics and raise the gas tank. Problem is, is that there is NO shops around here that will even begin to touch it. I’m sure it’s because of how uncomfy it is and they don’t want me complaining (even though I wouldn’t, it’s on me) and I am just looking for advice on how to do the bodywork. I paint at an aerospace company so I can do all that myself but in terms of where and what to do or any shortcuts like shops that I could ship stuff to in order to do it I’d be happy to. I just want my vision of this thing to come true. A good reference would be the white bobhead 48 out on YouTube and insta. I’m sure they poured tons into that thing but I don’t want anymore power. Just look and sound cool.

so I recently got my first motorcycle and decided to bob it obviously. but I have a question it is a Vstar 1100 and I’m trying to relocate the main computer underneath the seat somewhere else. I got a spring seat and the plate that comes with. It doesn’t fit on the frame unless I move the electrical somewhere. Does anybody have an idea? I can send pictures if I need to

I've been riding my Jawa Perak for about two months now, and I've just crossed the 1000 km mark. As a graphic designer, I often need a break from my desk, and this bike has been my perfect escape. My first long ride was from Pune to Lonavala, a 65 km journey one-way, and it was an experience to remember.  

The Jawa Perak is a head-turner with its bobber design. The 334cc engine is smooth and powerful, making it a joy to ride. On my way to Lonavala, I encountered various road conditions, from smooth highways to winding ghats, and the bike handled everything effortlessly. The engine performance is impressive, with no vibrations even at high speeds. 

The seating position is comfortable, and the solo seat provides ample support for long rides. The bike's suspension is excellent, absorbing bumps and ensuring a smooth ride. The handling is precise, making it easy to navigate through traffic and sharp turns. 

Fuel efficiency is decent, and I didn't have to worry about refueling during my trip. The bike's design and build quality are top-notch, and it feels solid and reliable. 

Overall, my first 1000 km experience with the Jawa Perak has been fantastic. It's a perfect blend of style, performance, and comfort. I'm looking forward to many more rides on this beauty.

Still a work in progress but getting it done! First motorcycle, and have always wanted a triumph since I was hanging around the Biltwell guys, they had some amazing bikes at their shop.

Everything has been done by me, I even split the cases and replaced every bearing and seal and worn parts. Converted it to a 750. Hardtail was already on it. When I purchased it, striped it down and started from the ground up. Every bolt has been touched, cleaned, polished and then reinstalled, then uninstalled then reinstalled because I forgot to do something

Lots to talk about it but i think I’ll do that once the bike is done.
