justinschopper Posted February 14, 2011 Share Posted February 14, 2011 hi, my name is justin. im obviously new here... im from salem, in. and im currently building and oldschool bobber style chopper from a xs400. it has been converted to a rigid frame w/ a springer seat. still has the yamaha trees, forks, wheels, brakes, and engine/trans. just thought id give everyone a little info about me and my bike. i dont have any pics of it yet, but i will have some in the near future... the bike and modified frame were given to me by a friend, completely in pieces! the engine/trans has been rebuilt, but its been a long and trying road getting everything together, i hope to build a really cool machine with old school style and a more fuel/rider friendly powerplant... i will probably be posting back on here in the near future when i have to wire everything up... but rite now i was just wondering what kind of reaction the bike will get- i know the 'purists' will hate what i have done, but im a true customizer... and i dont like the excessive vibration, oil-leakage, and fuel consumption issues of a harley... i just hope there's a way to mimic the sound!....

Moderator DirtyDT Posted February 14, 2011 Moderator Share Posted February 14, 2011 Welcome to the forum. I am always interested in bobbers. Straight bars though, I have never been a lover of ape hangers. Good luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
