Since I didn't do it on the outset, I should tell everyone our intentions for this build.
We don't really want to do a standard bobber. No hard pan seat, no coffin tank, no tombstone tail light, etc. What we're hoping to do is "capture the essence" of a vintage BWM R35 or '51 Honda Dream. At the same time, we want to try to do something modern - front
and rear disk brakes controlled by one pedal with a proportioning valve, and to keep the bars as clean as possible (no levers - more to come on that).
What we try & set out to do is something that hasn't been done before. Yes, sometimes there's a very good reason
why it's never been done - because it's dangerous, or silly, or simply impossible. But for us, it's doing something that challenges us as builders. If it turns out the idea stinks - we'll abandon it. We're doing this as a learning experience - a couple of guys hanging out in a garage, turning wrenches.
You might as well challenge yourselves - right?
