I'm really interested in building a '73 BMW R75/5 in a bobber style. I like the Zundapp style frames, but have yet to believe I could get one form Russia to actually use to cut up into a bobber. Basically, I like the look of the Boxer engine and I want to make that an alternative to the flat and Vs always being used. Anyone else going htis route or seen it before? I've seen plenty of BMW café, but not many bobbers.

Those early R engines are beautiful, all cast and ready to shine. They almost looked like they've been shaved. They look great sitting low in a frame. Can't corner worth a damn like that, but for a cruiser, should be nice. I have to finish my '63 Ford before I can start this, but I have been gathering ideas for it for years now. I'm getting anxious.

Greggski,
You have got to tell us more about that turbobike. That is unreal and awesome in it's stance. So sweet. Have you got anything more on it?

Crow, the green bike is bitchin. I'd do a fat front tire and have a ball with that one. Very cool bike.

Thanks eveyone for fattening up my pic collection as qwell as more ideas.

Hey Magnet, nice pics. I spoke to the guy with the first bike you have pictured. He is really nice and said next time I'm in NY, swing by and swing a leg over it.
I was originally wanting to do the café style boxer, but have been too influenced as of late with all the choppers and bobbers. So I decided to do a solo seat post WWII German-ish style bobber. No nazi shit like that, just a no nonsence version of our post WWII Harleys.
