Bobbers, bobbers, bobbers- choppers, choppers, choppers! Don't get me wrong; I run a bobber myself but there is a world of other bikes out there that are the coolest fuckin things in the world.

Like for instance the trackmaster in this months Dice- I defy anyone to tell me that isnt the coolest bike. I only bought my Triumph cos I saw one that was trying to be a trackmaster and then the guy who owned that bike went and bought himself a real trackmaster- what a beast.

So show me your flat trackers and desert racers.

I'm building a bobber right now, but I swear to you; I will build a prostreet/flatracker ironhead hybrid as my next project. This thread is inspiring.

Hey guys... lurked on here for a while.. lost of cool bikes on here.

Here is my 79 Xs650 I finished building this spring. Cut off most of the BS that is on the 650 stock. Stock tank, different fender, built a batt box, and engine was rebuilt to 750cc with valve job, all new bottom bearings, and a welded crank.

Rode it around town for about 2 miles before realizing that it would not shift into 4th or 5th. Seems to have broken a pin off the shift selector or something. Shipped the motor back to the engine builder last week.... just staring at pictures thinking about riding it(after i drop the motor back in).

Seems like it fits in this thread.










Have more progress pictures of this and other bikes here:
