So I guess I'll be the first to post. I'm an enthusiast, currently riding a honda 74 cl200. Former bikes include : 77 cb550, 72 cl350, 76 cj360 and a 02 suzuki drz400s. I also have a 76 yamaha lb80 chappy if that counts as a bike... I'm not very handy, but I can fumble my way through projects as they come my way. I'm in Noblesville. I'm looking forward to meeting some like-minded guys.
Thanks for setting up the message board!

Hi I'm Karl I'm 20. I am working on my 68 cb450. It a handful for me. I am working my way to making it a cafe racer. But I'm struggling with the wiring harness now. I also have a back burner project 72cb350 in the garage too. Sometime in the next month I'd like to invite someone out to help and look at my work that is well use to wire diagrams and stuff. I am in the fountain square area. I just sold my 92 gsxr to help finish my 450. But I'm far from finished.

Hey everyone, i'm quinn. I'm building a RD350 streetfighter/cafe styled bike that should be done in the month. Have a CM400t hondamatic passed down to me and i ride occasionally. Also building a Honda 305 Superhawk Bobber that has a couple months until it becomes respectable. I love two strokes, always buying and trading, and just have fun. I'm in the Morgan County area. And also for you craigslisters, I'm the guy selling the Honda Elite Drag Scooter. If you ever need scooter/moped help or two stroke help i'm usually the guy.

Well im a 26 year old who is almost done with a 72 cb500 bobber all I have left is to replace the stator it runs and rides but only for a short while before the battery dies I live on the southeast side on indy so im not to far away. My bike I guess u could say is the true bobber because its not painted or clean its just a bike that I enjoy riding. I am ready to ride with u guys and meet people with the same interest

Wow this really took off pretty quick.
I'm pretty new to riding but I love it. I'm currently on a 86 yamaha xj700 and am considering what mods I can do to make it look more bobber without sacrificing ride quality and ease. I'm thinking strip all extra parts, new bars, and get slimmer seat. I enjoy riding it too much to start a project and be without a bike for a couple weeks. I'll try to post some Picts tonight.

Just remember what the true meaning of a bobber is it just parts and things that a made or found to make for the bike with as little money in it as possible so u can get back out there and ride

I am suppose to get my head back from the machine shop this week. Maybe tomorrow. Had to get threads repaired and get it milled. It is off my cb350. I'll be picking up gaskets to put it back together this weekend.

Hey all, my name is Seth and I ride a 78 KZ650. It's my first bike, bought it 2 summers ago and have enjoyed every minute of riding/working on it. I'm currently in the process of re-painting it so I'll wait to post pics. Thanks for making this board Owen!

Hello everyone, My name is Chris, I'm 39, from Greenwood and I am working on a 1970 Honda cb450 cafe build that I hope to have done in the next month. I guess I shouldn't say done, but say on the road as I plan on stripping it down and repainting it next winter. My daily rider is a 1968 BMW R60/2 that I rebuilt about 7 years ago and have logged around 37,000 miles on since I got her done. I have two kids so working on bikes and riding have slowed down a bunch. Thanks for setting up the message board and I hope to someday meet some of you! Felkman  |

I go by Larry and I am up north in the Noblesville area. I currently have 2 bikes, a '66 BSA Lightning I bought new when I was a mechanic for a BSA/ Honda dealer and a '72 CB500-4 I bought from a guy I worked with many years later. Sorry to say I haven't ridden them in quit a few years. I hope this site will inspire me to get them on the road this year.
Larry
