My 1962 XLCH, in 1985, still have her currently going thru a complete tear down, going to get rid of the girder front end, sissy bar, and rear fender, and turn into a Bobber... I've had her for 42 years!
I’ve been looking to bobbify my 2006 vstar1100 for a while now. I’d love to put a blue collar bobber mounting kit and seat on it, and replace the rear fender but that completely takes away my ability to carry a passenger because the rear fender would be much too weak to slap a passenger pad on and call it a day. I could chop up my rear fender, but I’m unsure if I would need to cut up the part of the frame that hangs above the rear tire in order to close the distance between the rear fender and the tire, it looks strange when they’re very far apart, they need to be close. I’m hesitant about removing the frame that hangs above the tire because that may take away the support I need to carry a passenger. Even if I DID do that the BCB mounting kit is advised as not being able to fit with a stock rear fender, is it something that me and a grinder could fix? I’d just like to Bob my bike and not lose the girlfriend bike dates.

My first bobber build.
I have a 1999 vt750 I’m looking for a carb that don’t cost an arm and a leg any recommendations or does anyone have any just sitting around that I can buy?
Just wanted to reshare my 1980 Honda Goldwing GL1100 build for a different take on the traditional bobber/chopper styles that get posted here.
I stripped this thing down to the absolute bare minimum and it’s a blast to ride.
If anyone is looking for a fun platform to build on I wholly recommend picking up one of these.
I've been thinking about buying a used yamaha virago 535 1992 and I don't really know what to look out for or what to take in consideration when buying one. Any tips would be appreciated.
I'm wanting to build a choper/ custom motorcycle, I have the bike already and it runs, I've rode it all sumer but am wanting to make it special such as hardtailing it and making it mine i guess.
I'm in utah, ogden area I live in a an partment so don't have much room to work with but do have all my own tools to fully tear it down and 240 power for my welder and have already rebuilt the bike from when i got it, from the 80s so nothing to crazy. Just need some one who has more experience then me to give me some pointers on my journey.
I can pay for your time/ experience.
I can have it bare frame by my self and fully ready for someone to give me some inspiration, I'm not the best with electrical but everything works wiring wise just not the tail light for some reason. It's mostly stock.
If interested in helping please let me know how by commenting thanks.
My dad used to own this, he build it himself. I know it's an BMW boxer engine but can't figure out the exact type or pretty much all other parts. I'd be happy If some of y'all could help me out on this one.
(2005 honda shadow aero 750) recently re jet removed and plugged everything that I could. Added ais cover plates and velocity stack. Bike won’t stay on without choke, have the Tj brutal air/fuel mixture screw and no matter how many turns I do it still does the same thing. When I give a lot of throttle it Boggs then all of the sudden lets the bike rev (only with choke on still) oil smells like some fuel is in it too.
