Hello all, I am new to the 650 rider forums and looking forward to meeting all of you. Anyways I am currently building a bobber outta a 77 frame and an 81 motor. Trying to make all my own parts, etc. from the handlebars to forward controls and fender, etc. Here is a pic of my messy garage, oh yea and the bike..........

Great idea using the Pampers Cruisers. That way you don't need to shutdown for body needs. Did you get the idea from that astronaut lady?

Great start on the frame. I look forward to more shots as you progress.

Yea, the pampers are for me, how'd ya guess. I ride non-stop, I even carry the 10 gallon spare tank as a backpack....which makes it a little dangerous to ride and smoke at the same time, but hey, we all take chances out there on the roads these days.

I will get a shot this weekend outside. Thanks for looking.

I don't think smoking and keeping 10 gallons of gas on your back is to bad considering those old people who smoke and wear oxygen while driving.
maybe we should send them over to iraq as our own home grown car bombs.
teach those guys a lesson
