1st build!! I hope it gets finished

[Jonesy154]

Just got the bug to build a bobber and because of my first build and bike I bought what ever was cheap enough! A 81 xs250 special complete bike! Well it was anyway! Just thought I'd start a thread to show my progress as I go and to get advice as I go if you'd all be so kind?!?!

Cheers mate had to do some modifications to cover the coils and change the gas tap but should work fine, starting to see whats in my head can't wait to start painting it but just gotta get the rear shocks and mudgaurd mounted. Do you need handle bars and front brake set for your build? I've got quite a bit of original parts that I've removed and won't be needing I've also got the rear lights and grab bar etc, are you building a custom or making yours original spec?

 

[dougster]

am going to go cafe racer stylee.....with maybe ace bars or flat bars....

Looks great so far! You will finish it, just call the credit card company to up your limit! I like the Sporty tank also.

I must of been a good boy this year cause Santa delivered me a sack full of parts! 2014 looks like I'm gonna be out in the garage a fair bit!
