We do ALOT of out of town shows and also have a race team so it can be difficult to catch us. |

First of all welcome. That thing above is a bicycle with a lawnmower motor in it. And a bad lawnmower motor at that. If you want to build a bobber there are tons of places to go for information. First thing I would do is decide what size motor you want. The good people at Lowbrow customs sell, for instance, bobber frames that you can add many different engines to like Triumph, Yamaha, or Harley just to name a few. www.lowbrowcustoms.com/index.php?l=product_list&c=35If you want to buy an already made bobber find your price range and do some searching on Craigslist or EBay. There are tons out there, but stick with stuff that has a real motorcycle engine in it. It will last much longer. thank you for the welcome. I saw on the kikker website, that they make a full sized frame version of this bike, with a 250cc vtwin motor. i'm not trying to argue your point of it being a "bicycle with a poor lawnmower engine", like i said, i know very little, but i know that i used to ride a single cylander 492cc buell blast, and for cruising, getting around, etc. it was plenty fast for me. i also had a 1200cc buell cyclone, and it was too much speed/power for me. I would love to be able to assemble my own bike, start with a frame that's already a hardtail, with the rear wheel/tire, and front end springer, and front wheel/tire, and spend the winter painting it, finding my own parts to finish it off, maybe do a bit of fun custom stuff, etc. so i will check out the link you shared with me and see how it can help me out. i've seen a few other bobbers online that were too "busy" looking for what i want. too much engine, chrome, and "extras" that destroyed what i like about the bobber look. i just cant get over the shape, size, color of everything on that stupid kikker bike, haha. i'd like to find out the specs of the frame, or maybe if the frame is a piece of crap or not, and just get that rolling chassis, and use a better engine, hardware, etc. set up instead of the lawnmower engine. i have a 250 rebel and u can bob them and they are a great bike , and cheap,, and u can check out suzuki gz 250 .. u dont have to have a big motor to have a great bobber |

I rode along that bike most of this weekend, it ran great and I know the brakes work good since it didn't run me over when I was sliding down the road  . I love that bike and love the sound of it while riding by it. You should talk to him about it! |

Thanks, Chris! I am just glad you and the bike are alright. A guy came by today to look at it. After the great day of riding Sat. I almost don't want to sell it. Enjoyed riding with you though. But, the cafe project is really calling me.
