budget bobber build 2.0
08/04/14 at 17:54:49
So... I had another thread on here documenting my build however I had a minor lapse in thinking and moved the pics around in my photobucket account and broke all my links and pretty much killed the thread so here goes another try. I picked up an 86 savage earlier this year as the base platform for my first project/ bobber build because of its simple mechanics.
the previous owner hacked up the stock bars and came up with this weird set up that now hangs in the garage as a conversation piece.
didn't take but a few hours to tear this thing down
voodoo hard tail mocked up and welded
it took me a long time to come up with a tank that gave this little bobber the perfect low and narrow look im going after. then lowbrow customs released this little p-nut tank and it is a perfect fit all the way around
here are the mx pegs I made with some scrap
I took on a new skill after not being able to locate a seat that was to my liking.
also tooled out a fuel bottle holder to match the seat
how it sits now

Nice. Single backbone frames are definitely more elegant. Really like the pegs. Don't understand the fuel bottle? Is this for reserve situation?

The p nut tank only holds 2 gallons so I wanted to have some sort of reserve.

IDK what that guy took before he decided he could improve the bars that way,but I don't want to Ever get any of it.
I wish you'd take a step back and give us a few shots of the equipment.
Especially the drill press.

Looks cool. A hand off the throttle and front brakes for every shift is going to be kinda lame. But I dont imagine this bike is for function as much as looks.
Looks like a fun build.

Well... After nearly a five year hiatus (daughter being born, buying a house, changing career paths.) it's finally time to bring this little dream to fruition and get this thing to some local shows. More pics to come tonight.
