That's all I recall Suz; 400 with electric start.
Check ebay for parts, see what's selling. Or just do a quick flip. Too many little bobbers out there already.
Good luck.
Thanks!
Thats the curious thing ( Or....maybe not)...None listed on CL'
s I can find none on Ebay either whole or as parts!

Hi Ed
Good that we now can look at this Bobber thread with a lightheartedness :lol:
This Breast cancer Bobber was at Detroit Bike week a few years ago.
He had entered it as custom metric sport until I showed up
Then pushed it to the rat bobber judging area where he was the only bike in his class LOL
I think its a Yamaha
Enjoy Go Pink !!!!

It was a shock to me when I found I had to go to a motorcycle shop for parts and a lot of them were rackets. Bikes are considered as hobbies, not basic transportation. For years I didn't have a car or truck, just the bike. I found early on I had to do the work myself or get some old junker car like the 63 Dodge Dart I had before. :sick: Parts are expensive, always have been. Get a bike from an old sage that got it running again with care and it will last until the next step up. Not a bad legacy if you ask me.

Oh, it burns my a$$ when people ask me why I don't just go to Big O tire for ones for my bike. People just don't get it.

Don't get me wrong, I really like a well done bobber, chopper or whatever. If you are wanting to flip it, stock is the better way to go.
Not many people are going to pay top dollar for a custom bike that doesn't have a well known name attached to it.
That and I really hate seeing good bikes murdered...like this one on my local Craigslist for $3500....

Ehhhhh.
Right 3,5 KUSD.
Whoohooo.
Looks like the meth smoking, spark plug stealing characters are turning to a new business.
