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!

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.

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.

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?

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

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?

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

Man, I dig it.  good stance - just the right amount of stretch etc.  I think you nailed it.
Yep, I'm the kid that figured out how to put things back together...eventually.
