  • OK I decided to go ahead with the custom bobber project right away :) It won't be especially cheap, but I have a REAL sweet vision in my head for a beautiful 1-up cruiser that fits my taste and style. We'll see how close I can come in reality, what lies ahead as I go through the project and how much everything costs! I'll run through the complete tally at the end of it all. I'll pickup the bike in 3 days when the seller has the day off and the wife can drive me up, load up the extra exhaust and drop me off. I'm waiting to order the REAL expensive stuff until I have it here and can do a full inspection - meaning tear it down. I don't foresee any issues past what I already saw, but there's no rush, it can wait a week to be safe. I need to get a new speedo bezel and footboards because of wear and damage, everything else should be covered. I got a new lift on clearance today, some plugs and oil. The filters are on the way along with chrome levers and badges. Let the games begin!

    It's crazy to see how the prices have more than doubled on some of the things you bought, since you made this video 6 years ago.
    I'm interested in stripping down my C50. Less is more. Be well and stay safe out there.

    I would probably put something together that had the stylings of a '30s or '40s Indian if I could do anything I wanted with a motorcycle.

    Congrats on the new toy - look forward to the videos of the bike's transformation.

    looks like a fun project. I've love to do a rat bike of some sort

    Ryca motors sells several complete kits for the Suzuki Boulevard S40. I really like the Scrambler or the Cafe Racer kits so I would probably do one of those. I know it's not as custom as fabricating parts yourself for a different bike but that's a little beyond my skill level. Good luck with the bobber. It's going to be awesome when it's complete.

    I love the triumph. I'd do a England flag theme triumph. But honestly. I like them stock.

    for cleaning the chrome try brass wool if the chrome is of good quality .
    this will clean it up and not scratch it . marine stores carry it .

    You need some simichrome! Best polish for aluminum. Used it on my CB 750's. Yeah, I'm old.

    wow I think i saw your video where you was giving review on a cigar

  • @kylepoirier1102
    @kylepoirier1102 Před 9 lety

    to answer you question about what bike i would do i have been throwing around the idea of building a Honda shadow 1100 into a bobber or maybe a Vulcan 900

  • @cavepilot
    @cavepilot Před 9 lety

    Ryca Scrambler for me. Wanted one since I saw the Jey Leno's Garage episode.

  • @thehexter1
    @thehexter1 Před 9 lety

    Definitely a cafe racer for me. Unfortunately, after my 2 neck surgeries I wouldn't be able to ride more than a few blocks. 😢

  • @KyleSorley1

    Would do a RD500LC!

  • @gunarslodzins
    @gunarslodzins Před 9 lety

    I'm contemplating building Ryca C40 scrambler or standart. I'd love to have light off-road bike for dirt roads. C40 is quite cheap but scrambler kit is 2x the price of the bike itself. Especially since I need international shipping. Still contemplating...

    If I were to build a custom bike, I think I would do a CB750 or older r-series BMW cafe bike.

    motorcycle oil should be used to protect the wet clutches.

    Honda cb750 Brat/Cafe Racer.

    Is it me or did I just saw a car tire on your FJR?

  • @NickCager
    @NickCager Před 2 lety

    Why not just buy a bobber? Seems like it would be cheaper.

    What are you going to do with your wife's boxes :)
