Powder coat the rims black... or chrome the shit out of that bike! I'm getting the itch for having a bike again ahhh!

[dodik]

thanks Reason for unlocking moto section, I felt obligated to post something, so here some new pics of same old POS

[mike-tracy]

Hey now. It looks really good compared to how it started!

[Dead91silvia]

Thats pretty cool! I have a couple friends that are into these style of bike.

[amgarrety]

I really love this style. I'm just into older looking bikes rocking the single or double round headlights on the handlebars.

[Okin DaVanh]

Good to see the progress on this, is still going. I was thinking of the same too, (building a bobber) but on a newer chassis, like a early to mid-90's Nighthawk.

[dodik]

thanks for the comments fellas, one day I'll have a garage and it will be properly rebuilt with bigger motor, paint, polish etc. But for now it gets me to work and back just fine.
Okin personally im not into bobbers and from what i've seen most peole get bored with them in one season, then they hit CL for triple amount of what a full bike worth. If you want something to skoot around on just find a smaller engine bike those are much easier to mess with. Less cylinders/carbs and electronics. I know you can do some amazing body work but prepare to get bored with it. As every dog in your neighborhood will say "hey there that guy again"

[MRLancaster]

I love this bike! Would love to own one like this one day!

I'm not "into them", per say.... but you're on the right path with the "bodywork and bored" part. I was only thinking of building my own, since I don't want to ask anyone to ride theirs to see if I'd settle. If I like it, keep it... if not.... she goes If I never try, I'll never know.....
and I've been retired from stuntin' awhile ago and speed is not an option when you have to come home to kids, so "Slow-and-Low", is preferred. I've also contemplated StreetFighting my 99 GSXR. Just cant bare to chop it up... it looks good as it sits.

I think the exhaust would look better if it was chromed - header back. Reminds me of those old bikes Jackie Chan used to kick people off in his movies.

[dodik]

in the past couple weeks i managed to fall for the first time on this bike, almost fall, have it dropped overnight, and then fix all of that. Finished new pant job this weekend, new handlebars, mirrors, rear tail lens. So it is ready for sale i just have to find where the title is(just moved).

Sounds like a classic! When I was in a similar situation looking to sell an older vehicle, I found that listing it on a few different online platforms really helped me connect with potential buyers. One site I used had a decent number of interested buyers, which made the process easier. You might want to consider exploring a few marketplaces like www.jiji.ng to reach a broader audience. Best of luck with the sale!
