working on my Bobber project...

[seventigers]

Hi all!

Just joined the forum - what a great site. I bought my GZ 3 weeks ago in great shape with 11k miles on it from a craigslist ad - specifically to try my hand at creatin' a sweet old-school bobber type ride.

Got it home and started taking it apart. I used mountain bike handle bars for 'drag bars', a house gas vent cover from HomeDepot for air intake cover, and part of a golf-ball picker upper :roll: for the exhaust pipe. Plus rattle can paint...and a trailer tail light from Walmart :tongue:

Anyways, she looks awesome and rides excellent - i love the short bars too. People constantly think it's a bigger bike of some type...always asking "What is it?". And it's a completely stock GZ so it's dependable & economical to ride. I guess it's a "Commuter Bobber"... :retard:

I'll post more pics when I get time... You can see in this collage picture that i've gotten a lot more done.

Things I plan to do before selling it to finance a bigger bike bobber:
a) paint on wide white walls
b) find a different seat (more in the bobber style)

Have fun & enjoy!
