1980 750k bobber project
« on: January 03, 2009, 02:50:44 PM »
in her mostly factory ugly glory:











havent done too much yet, i have:

stripped her most of the way down

painted tank, and fenders

cut tail section

got rid of that horrible dirtbike looking front fairing

new headlight

cut and drilled a section of bar to lower the bike for mock up (taking the frame in to get actual bars welded in at the exact height she sits now)



what she is getting:

sparto taillight

led turn signals integrated into the ends of the top frame bars (caps w/ lights)

custom made solo seat

strutless rear fender

drag bars

and a bit more that im too tired to type.


what do you guys think of this exhaust? im considering keeping it and cutting the tips at a 45 degree angle. or getting drag pipes



updated pics are uploading.

I think Aston has found a weak spot.   Are you planning on re-welding in some cross support behind seat where you cut the frame?

By 1980, the Hondas became ugly. I am amazed at how cool you have this bike looking!
