82 xj 750 seca bobber

Lookin' good. I like the snake on the tank.

 

Thanks Orange n Black every one says it looks like a snake but the bal'rog is my inspiration on it

 

I assumed it was Diablo from the game Diablo II.

 

Whatever it is, it looks cool. Nice skills.

 

Changing the internals and/or the oil is no substitute for a stout brace between the legs just above the wheel. Different oil and/or springs won't do anything to stiffen the fork against twisting, which is what a fork brace does.

Most Harleys are too heavy and don't go fast enough for them to notice.

 

Well either way i'll see how it goes nce it's done and i think the fork brace is needed i plan on getting this style

 

UMMM, whose jeans are those, and why are they not wearing them?? :

Cool build BTW. Also, what happened to the shop it was in when you started?

 

Well the Jeans were just laying in the garage so i used them since it's softer that the bar stool it's on and the shop it was in was my old school but now it's home in the garage the only thing i miss is the lifts but i make due

 

Well i found where to get the fork brace from theirs a site called spec II that makes fork braces for the Seca and that's where i'm gonna get the fork brace from

\

 

Well i think with these last couple things it's ready to go to powder coat and come back and get wired up it's getting closer and closer to the end

 

Sand blasting who knew it was so sandy

 

got the frame painted and started wiring and pretty much finished it just need another cable to run to the starter motor and a new flasher relay

 

Final part to be welded on gunna be careful to not burn some paint but then it's ready to be done

 

Final part to be welded on gunna be careful to not burn some paint but then it's ready to be done

 

getting closer and closer to the finish line

 

Well Guys i'm pretty sure it's there maybe A little more down the road but it's pretty much there and i gotta say i think it looks pretty good

 

Oh yeaaah.. lookin SWEET man! Need more pics. Waaaaay more pics!

 

OK here are some more pictures it was finally nice enough to pull it outside for a while for it's Photo shoot yeah its kinda a diva if you ask me

 

Killer bobber. Lots of nice custom details. What are future plans?

 

i plan on getting a springer front end for it and some bags i can just strap onto the frame other than that just finish up some odds and ends then get another bike to chop that will off set the evil in this bike

 

changed the seat a while ago but it is a comfortable ride and hell of a lot of fun

 

Looks like another nice bike's been destroyed

 

Your a long time late since its been done about a year and a half

 

Yes i can see that, too saad...

 

I don't think so but beauty is in the eye of the beholder

 

Sorry but i don't mean your bike is ugly, just that it can never be restored to what it once was, that's saad in my eyes.

 

I feel like it actually could be restored since half the frame is still stock original it'd just be a matter of will to do it but people have been chopping bobbing bikes for a long time, you'd probably be mortified of what I'm doing to my 73 xs650

 

The XS650 was made in huge volumes for many, many years. Cut those up all you want

 

Sure, it's possible to build a completly new frame too, it's only a matter of will and some skills Do you have that?

 

Yeah I feel I could do it I plan to start doing frames someday in the future
