I’ve searched on here quite a few times and figured it’s time to sign up! I chop and rebuild 600s In my spare time as a hobby. I’ve completed 2 bikes, currently working on the 3rd complete rebuild. These bikes are so much fun and so easy to work on, and with all the knowledge here it’ll now be...

So my old mechanic whom I've known for years now builds bobbers. I have this little 125 custom he wants. He needs 1800 priced to move on the bobber which I am sure he salvaged for nothing and spent a week on IF that this guy is a mechanical genius. So deal is I give up the red bike right, and...

Hello all, I am in need of some advice. I’m building a bobber out of my vt500. I’m running straight pipe exhaust and pod style air filters. I did a rejet on the carbs. The bike started and I even rode it around the block. Then my petcock started leaking gas into the cylinders so he replaced that...

can you remove the second (blue colored) ignition box? I looked at the coyness manual and it seems to just be deleted from the other schematics for the newer VT700C‘s Trying to cut things out of the schematics that are unnecessary and cut it down to a basic harness for a bobber build Anything...

Found this forum while looking up some finishing details for my 1993 VT600 project I bought. It's my second bike after my 1999 Rebel 250. This is the Shadow when I first bought her. To here when it was barely running again And the final product here. Completely rebuilt and with velocity...

So, I've been reading around and before the comment comes (which it will) I know ALOT of the things I'm after are going to have to be modded to fit. BUT, I'm still looking for people who have been there done that, maybe with some info to help me move faster than they did. I'm trying to do some...

Hi every one. I just bought my first motorcycle and I have a question. I would like to start a bobber / hardtail project but I would like to keep my suspension (shock). I saw this guy doing an excellent job of giving his honda bobber a hardtail look without taking off the suspension so it...

Good morning! Last spring I bought my first bike which was a CM200T Twinstar. It took a little bit of work before I got it on the road and enjoyed it all summer. I knew that I wanted something bigger and so in the fall found and bought an ‘83 VT500C. The previous owner said it sat for about...

Hello everyone! It's been a while since I've posted, work has kept me busy and away from riding for most of the past year... After the new-year, I was able to buy a seat kit from Blue Collar Bobbers, and along with a DIY tail light and license plate mount, got it installed on my bike. I plan to...
