I bought this bike pretty much all stock and this is what I created.

Wow what a nice bobber. I normally don't like bobbers that much but this one is one I would like to own.. Nice work. Does she run/ride as good as she looks? Good job!

tattdadd · « **Reply #2 on:** July 29, 2009, 02:57:29 PM »

It rides nice, and with a lot of tinkering and frustration dialing in the carbs it's finally running good. I'm very happy with the way it turned out, especially for a cheap bike.

As well you should, lets see if we can get it as the bike of the month for Sept.

thats beautiful! where do you live? hopefully MI so you can help me get my bike looking like that! lol

valt · « **Reply #7 on:** July 31, 2009, 01:43:55 PM »

Can you get a rear and front shot? I think 750s with hardtails look hilarious* from the rear just because the motor sticks out so much.

*Hilarious in a awesome way.

Sorry, I live in Pa. If you have any questions feel free to ask. With a little mechanical ability it's really not that difficult, you just have to start and see what happens.

Sweet looking bike!!! Im very envious...nice work!!!

bzr · « **Reply #15 on:** August 03, 2009, 09:28:00 PM »

That's so sexy it hurts.

Though it looked pretty sharp when it was stock...did you get good money selling the parts off at least?

zoo mob · « **Reply #16 on:** August 03, 2009, 09:37:42 PM »

Very nice looking custom, but I'd sure rather see a little bit more beat up bike used as a base. Nice work nonetheless.

Zaipai · « **Reply #17 on:** August 04, 2009, 05:20:37 AM »

Just some ideas for later as you have the funds..

Replace the coil and wires for a Dyn with yellow wires..
Drilled front brake rotor..
Stainless Braided oil lines...
Shorter clutch cable...
Chrome cap for the brake reservoir...
Stainless braided gas lines...
Stainless braided front brake line....

Thats just off the top of my head.. Its a sharp bike, and there are so many tweaks you can do it should keep you busy and broke for the next few years.. :-)

Awesome job! You nailed it, hope mine looks as good as yours when I'm done building my frame. A couple of questions:

How much strech did you add in the rear?
Did you change the rake?
How far off of the ground is the frame?

tattdadd · « **Reply #19 on:** August 04, 2009, 10:48:32 AM »

Thanks for the comments, it was fun to build! I stretched it four inches, there is no rake, and about 5 inches ground clearance.

greenjeans · « **Reply #20 on:** August 04, 2009, 02:59:25 PM »

Man, I dig it. good stance - just the right amount of stretch etc. I think you nailed it.

rustrocket92 · « **Reply #21 on:** December 13, 2009, 06:50:10 PM »

Love the bike ! What size oil tank is that?

sangyo soichiro · « **Reply #22 on:** December 14, 2009, 09:24:17 AM »

Very nice looking bike! Love it!

Ricky_Racer · « **Reply #23 on:** December 14, 2009, 10:11:18 AM »

Tattdad, is that a hardtail kit by Jeromy? Great lookin' scoot! RR

Toxic · « **Reply #24 on:** December 14, 2009, 12:50:00 PM »

Damn that is very nice.

Hate to see such a good looking stocker get cut up though but at least ya did her proud.

Ogri · « **Reply #25 on:** December 14, 2009, 02:58:14 PM »

Is it just me that gets ticked off when people call bikes that are choppers; 'bobbers' ?

There is a difference in my book. Bobbers have stock frames and are lightened by the removal of superfluous items or by the substitution of lighter items.

A chopper has a modified frame that has been cut and re-welded.

Yeah yeah,,I know.."It's Chinatown"

I disagree, both are more of a look than being determined by frame structure, i have seen many nice "rigid" bobbers that were originally sprung framed motorcycles...

I think this is the route I am going to go. i like this bike alot.

Ogri · « **Reply #29 on:** December 15, 2009, 02:17:55 AM »

Sorry, I should've said; I think Tattdadd has created an extremely good looking bike.

As for starting off by using such a clean example as a donor bike, well...it's not like he chopped up an Egli Vincent or the Triumph Quadrant; there's plenty of CB750s out there. One less only increases the value of everyone else's.

Apologies too for seeming to rag specifically on Tattdadd's semantics, it was more a general observation.

joec3613 · « **Reply #30 on:** December 15, 2009, 03:37:05 AM »

Bike is beautiful. Heck if mine comes half as nice I'd be happy! Nice work. Call it whatever you want, but it's a "cheap", custom, great looking bike. When's the next one?

rustrocket92 · « **Reply #31 on:** December 15, 2009, 11:30:05 AM »

I pm'ed tattdadd and he said it is a weld on hardtail kit from Kool-Kraft customs. I has a 16" rear wheel 19" front and a 5" round oil tank.

Ricky_Racer · « **Reply #32 on:** December 15, 2009, 11:34:47 AM »

Yeah, I thought that looked like Jeromy Hagemier's work. He was making them as welder's kits consisting of a stack of tubes and parts, as well as a fully welded unit. Sometimes he gets behind in his production, but he does great work. RR

Wickipedia agrees with you

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bobber_(motorcycle)

But let me tell you, for sanity's sake. Get over it.

It can become as bad or worse than an oil thread.

My pet peeves are the "push-pull" throttle (actually a dual cable throttle as the "B" cable does not push.)

And cafe racers that are just cafe as there is little "racer' to them.
I've got others, but I'm hi-jacking so I'll stop.
PS: A very nice example in either event, tattdad.

tattdadd · « **Reply #34 on:** December 15, 2009, 03:52:58 PM »

Sorry to disappoint everyone, but I sold that bike. There is another project in the works, it's a 79 sportster. It will be along the same lines (hardtailed and stretched) except this one will have forward controls and apes. Thanks for all the compliments on the bike!

funkdr5 · « **Reply #35 on:** December 19, 2009, 03:29:52 PM »

I thought the "bobber" had to do with the solo seat with springs underneath
