- A friend gave me a bike, so I built a bobber. I've got about one month into it so far. Test drive went well, handles great and its very comfortable. I'll post more after its painted and polished. I'm up for paint idea's...?

No trouble at all, its the first bike I've owned with shaft drive and I'm digg'n it. Much smoother, quieter, and responsive than a chain or belt drive.. and virtually maintenance free!
Yes, the sacrificial set was damaged beyond repair.
It sounded really cool but didn't have any power so I put the good pipes
back on.
Thanks and I hope to see your build video too.
Its very easy! Go for it.
@irishboycustoms Yeah, its 2.5 mm side-wall, equal to whats already there. Also has monster 1/4 inch gussets hidden in critical places... she's tuff!
Just discovered this bobber culture, have seen the bikes before though
Yeah that helps a lot thanks
That's what I was afraid of. I can't seem to find a 3 into 1 that sounds good. Maybe a 3 into 1 coupler and some mandrel bends for drag pipes.
I was lucky and picked up the bike for free, and I probly spent $800 U.S. on parts. The labor involved was 6 to 10 hours a day for the entire month of September.
Nice job on the bobber. Did you match the frame material when you decided to weld in a new top tube?
1.5 inches diameter / .095" sidewall. mild steel "tubing". (not pipe.)
~The difference being that Tubing is measured from the outside and Pipe is measured from the inside dia.~
@rodeofan5656 I have a MIG Welder. (Snap-On YA212A Industrial MIG welder, w/ .030" wire spool).
what song is that? I'm gonna have nightmares cause of the dudes voice in the intro! sexy ass bike though!
It rides perfectly, like floating on air. All I had to do was make 1 1/2 in shims under the shock springs to compensate for the compression angle/ratio, and then I hid them under the chrome spring caps. I also made stops for the swing-arm, in case something breaks, I don't want the fender to jam up against the seat & batt box. Good Luck & thanks.
Man I'm gettin a 78 xs750 and are doing this I'm so screwed lol!

Hey buddy how much space do u have between the frame and the ground in this build if u don't mind me asking? And do u ever have any issues bottoming out or binding up the drive shaft?
Hi, I am doing an XS750 chopper right now, how easy was it to create a single tube backbone?
Cheers Daniel.
im building a bober, but im just curious how you make it a chopper? Do you lift the frame higher so the longer forks can fit? Or is it just the forks that make the difference, im just wondering
Once I had the shocks mounted, I adjusted them to their softest setting, then I just sat on the bike and measured the amount that the springs collapsed, then built the shims to that measurement plus about 20% more. Hope this helps.
I'm planning on doing something like this with my Xs850 how did you figure how big of a shim you needed for the rear shocks? And were their any other major calculations you had to do for anything else?
why didn't you just make it into a hard tail while you had the bike in bits . It would have looked heaps better and ridden nicer
Did you cut the exhaust? I'm building a 79 xs750 bobber right now.
How much did you pay for that Yamaha? and how much $ did you put into it altogether?
did that drive shaft give you any trouble?
Im bobbin out a 81 1100xs now i got it with the wiring fukd up...im havin a hard time just getting headlight tailight startbutton....
The headlight was on ..now its off the dash lights up can i just hook upstartbutton hed n tail light....all those fukn wires n boxes n shit

Wiring harness. did you follow a diagram or make one from scratch
+Levi Kellogg I streamlined the existing harness.
cool man. I have a 78 special. and the wiring harness is shit. did you bypass the rlu and relay etc?
your bike looks awesome though. mad props
+Levi Kellogg Yes, I got rid of all the unnecessary garbage.
