Honda Bobber

[wancosc356]

I did this a year ago or so, but I had a lot of fun doing it and learned a lot too. This is my second bike ever. And the first bike that I have ever worked on or built by myself.

My first was a '06 GSXR 600. Well I got sick of making payments on a bike I could never ride due to work and whatnot. I really miss this bike.



A few years later I picked up this one.



A 1981 Honda CM400 C. It had been sitting for 5 plus years without any attention. It was one of those deals that was too good to pass up. I really wanted a 750 to build, but those were hard to come by at a good price at the time. Anyways, I had always wanted a rat bike, bobber, cafe racer, etc. I started working on getting the bike running first and it didn't take a whole lot to do so. I think it has less than 10k original miles. Once I got it running, I decided it was worth messing with. I did almost all of the work myself. And just so you know, I did this with no garage, no air compressor, and a gravel driveway. The paint isn't great...as it is just a rattle can job. And the bike isn't perfect, but it runs great and is alot of fun. I get looks everywhere I go.





But I am thinking it is time to let this one go. I want something with a little more guts. But it is kinda hard to let go of something that you put so much time, money and effort into.
