Hey Nice One! I am building a DOHC bobber myself. Just wondering where you got your frame from and is that your stock front end?

Thanks

it rides great.  i built the frame.  no one makes one for my model and i wanted mine to be a little different than a prefabbed hardtail.  the front end came off a 79 cb750 w/o the nasty air charged forks...thanks for the comments....about to put a jockey shift on it

 Kyle, Unless you are putting the flat bars on a bobber they will feel totally different on a stock bike due to the seat being quite a bit lower on a bobber......just saying... ;)
