My XJ project. Bobber...

This site has inspired me alot! I picked up a buddies 1980 650 Maxim a while back with intentions of bobbing it. Then i stumbled upon this site and got a lot of inspiration. Ive been working on this and lurking on this site for a while now so im just gonna start posting up the pics.

How i got it...


















I went satin white with the tins and was going to go stain black on everything else... i didnt like how "big" the white made the tank look so i changed back to satin black on everything.

I tacked everything together and tomorrow i am going to load it up and take it to my dads buddies shop where hes going to TIG everything for me. I dont mind welding up my truck and shit but ill feel better having a pro do my bike. more updates to come SOON.

 

Wow!! Looks really good. Keep them pics coming.

 

Nice one mate! How does it sound with the silencer off?

 

i havent started it since i cut it. should be getting it back tomorrow or saturday.

 

Cool. I really am interested in the kind of noise that will make! It's what I wanna do with mine, and see if I need to make any carb adjustments. Keep us posted please mate!

 

bike looks swet man

 

love the stance of the older xj's hardtailed. something about it just makes them look badass!

nice bike!
