I am in the process of trying to build a Bobber / chopper , leaning toward Bobber, I am looking for a Hardtail set-up to convert my factory frame. I have heard of Black Widow, but have read on this site that their quality is questionable. Also Bill Duling of Kansas Kustoms, I do not have any welding equipment / experence, so I will be depending on others, I a jig necessary to add a preassembled hardtail? also can anyone tell me anything about the two mentioned builders, good or bad. Also does anyone know anybody in the West Georgia area who does frame conversions Thanks Karl

Hi Karl,
Hate to say it, but I haven't found anybody in Georgia that wants to work on older bikes at all. You will need a jig or the frame will spring all over the place. That is my understanding, anyway.
Good luck.

i dont know if you can get into my pics in the album i am creating but if you can i will be posting the frame jig i built for hardtailing and raking the xs650 models. i made it so it will revolve to make it easier to weld and work on. if you cant find the pic then send me an email at medelack @ earthlink.net and i will send you some pics as well.
