so any info on the cycle x alternator, are you going to run batteryless??? I have been looking at it but have been unsure so if you have any opinions let me know Thanks

I will tryto run batteryless but with the electric speedo I will have to come up with something so it doesnt loose its memory. May be as simple as a 9v battery . If that doesnt work I will get one of the very small batteries they make for choppers and customs . I will then attach that under my seat pan.

I love the way the exposed charging system looks except for the brown epoxy coating on the stator. A little scotch bright and some black paint should fix that though.

As always thanks for looking at my little project and thanks for the compliments.

Sure looks like a nice little racer!

Appreciate the pics!

On the spacer for the fork stem....good idea! I figured if I did it myself one day, I'd just have a machine shop mill down the stem to work, but you were able to space it out!

Header is wrapped up and bolted on. Next step is rebuilding the carbs. I already have them sod blasted just need cleaned and put back together.

cool!

and I though a crotch bobber was someone who walked funny.

75cb550 (kyle) · « **Reply #34 on:** June 23, 2010, 01:04:13 PM »

at least it's not someone who bobs for crotches

zzpete · « **Reply #35 on:** June 23, 2010, 01:09:56 PM »

Or a "crotch grabber"....... which can be good.

zzpete · « **Reply #37 on:** June 23, 2010, 01:27:27 PM »

RustyOlive · « **Reply #38 on:** June 23, 2010, 01:49:00 PM »

she reminds me of a stripper I saw a few weeks ago... all new parts on an old frame... BAHAHAHAHAHA.. only this one I'd be more inclined to ride.

Bike is looking awesome man! can't wait to see more soon!. ;-)

Naming it the Crotch Bobber has been worth it just for the jokes alone.

Thanks for the compliments so far. I hope to have it completed before the end of July. After the carbs are done I just have the seat and wiring to finish.

I will post some pics once I am done polishing the float bowls and get the carbs put back together.

Also, are you sure you want to call this project "crotch bobber?" Think about it....

Ahahahaha...

Flying J · « **Reply #46 on:** July 08, 2010, 03:51:35 PM »

RustyOlive · « **Reply #47 on:** August 29, 2010, 09:38:32 PM »

the suspense is killing me here dude!!
whats going on with this killer bike man?
I need my fix.. getting the shakes... withdrawls... HAHAHHAHAHA

cbr500 · « **Reply #48 on:** August 31, 2010, 08:17:28 AM »

I was just getting ready to post some new pics. Progress has been slow but its almost done. I have made a few shake down runs. It still needs to be fine tuned which I will be taking care of on Thursday. I scheduled some Dyno time at the local bike shop. That said it will do a Ton pretty easily. The last thing I need to do is make my seat cover which I hope to finish up this weekend.

Sorry here are a few more pics.
