Half Fast Chicago Timmy's CB750 bobber project...
« on: September 19, 2010, 06:22:24 AM »
Fellow Half Fast Chicago member Timmy has been working on his wicked CB750 bobber project for awhile, and it is finally starting to come together.
He has wicked fab skills and a eye for detail that can sometimes make something simple take forever, but when it's done u know it cant be done any better..

And people say Half Fast Chicago went all Harley  ?  ;D

I've been waiting a couple years to see Timmy's trick frame you posted way back when being used. Dynomite style; much cooler than the TC Bros weld-on with the "hump" and a really innovative rear treatment. Nice job. Thanks for posting it. RR

I'm friends with the half fast guys (great group if you're in the area) and I've only met Timmy once briefly. His bobber build is one of the coolest bikes owned by the guys. Awesome job Timmy
Many honda bikes and a lifted 75 Chevy K5

So good, so good. I love it, what a sexy bike.

Where did he stack the battery? And where's the electronics?

I wish form and function could coexist. That bike is a piece of art. But i hope you have nice flat roads in chi town with no bumps and courteous drivers who give you plenty of time to stop with your drum brake. But im sure this isnt a daily rider any way. How do you get that finish on the paint. That satin look is amazing. 8) And how much did you chop off those fork tubes?

The forks on Timmy's bike are internally lowered, so he has more fork travel then you might think  ;D

Some more recent pics of Timmy's scoot (now in green) --->

And the man himself with his scoot and 54 Chevy project --->

And people say all Half Fast Chicago builds/rides are Harleys ? ::)

Wow that is a sweet bobber. I have been toying with building one when my cafe project is done. This will definately be some inspiration if I go that route.

Is that on a 16 drop center harley rim? or is that the original on the rear? I love this bike and am in the process of building my own cb650... I have been using this bike as my inspiration. I have so so many questions for him!

So the lower triple tree "internally" misses that dust cap 2" below it when it hits a bump?  ;)
