Hey guys,

Thought there might be some interest in my bobber/chopper here.

This bike has been featured with great praise on both XS650chopper.com and Pipeburn.com.
It has become a defining and inspiring example of a garage built bobber/chopper.

Here an excerpt from Pipeburn with some words from the builder:

"The hardtail is a pre made unit fabricated by TC Bros. 'It stretched the bike 3 inches, making it very comfortable for my 6'3" body' he says. 'The bike originally came with a 16in wheel that I swapped for a 18in from an older Japanese bike. Wheels were wrapped in 450 rear and 400 front Firestone replicas. The velocity stacks were a NOS part off eBay and really one of my favorite things on the bike. The seat is a West Eagle and uncovered, keeping with the raw theme. The lights were eBay items that I then took apart for some paint. The rear fender is the stock front one that I cut up to save some coin. The entire bike was painted with rattle cans.'"

This motorcycle gets lots of attention and praise from everyone who sees it.
Get that classic vintage look without spending a fortune, or having to deal with unreliable older vintage motorcycles!

The motor is the original matching motor to the frame and fires up easily and runs strong.
The bike currently has no gauges (the neutral selector light is in the headlight housing) or turn signals, however those could easily be added on with the huge selection of parts available online.
The motorcycle currently has a clean Texas title ready for transer and is started up regularly.
