    I'm thinking about pulling this thing apart this winter and redoing it. I'm leaning toward doing a bobber project with it. I was looking back at the pics before I had all the body parts back on it and like the stripped out look.

    Buddy of mine took my 78 CB750SS and chopped the neck on it, we raked it out a little, and went with a 2 up backbone. I put an old harley bobber tank on it afterwards. It looked sweet, but didn't last long. It was a basket case when I got it, spent a year getting the engine and electrical right, and got to ride it one time before the head gasket **** out on me frying the top end. I ended up selling it for parts. Sad day. I miss that bike.

    I'm not sure what to do with the rear. I guess I could lower it somehow but I like how it sits now

    Could always go with a larger front wheel to give it the illusion of what you're going for.

    I don't really want different wheels. I won't be able to find a rear and just changing the front I think will look funny

    Well picked this up Saturday for $300. Guy couldn't get it running and it sat for a little while. I got it home and had it running in about 10 min.

    Just ordered a set of drag bars for the 650 and I'm thinking pretty hard about lowering it.

    Well the 500 is going bye bye today I'll miss her but I'd rather have the $500 which makes a $450 profit for me on it.
