Up until the sparks, that looked like a familiar build. Nice!

 

[Sandro]

Yes, I and my grandfather build everything.
Recently have restored a caddy mk1, you see on google, it's white with yellow fog lights, and bbs white.

Grazie, in effetti una prima serie sarebbe stata un idea più consona per trasformarla in telaio rigido, ma non ne ho trovate. Buon lavoro.

Can you take a close up pic of the forward controls I want to put some on mine and just curious as to how you did it

 

[Drewcifer]

Looks like my friends apartment building in Salaria.

 

[xs400neophite]

"Yeah " Indeed! Nice first bobber build!

 

[Sandro]

Thanks!

Sure... they are forward controls of a Yamaha XV 250, like the fuel tank (with some modification)...cut and stretch.
The pedal of gear is original (xs400).

awesome bike! I really like the tie-in for the rear triangle, it looks super clean! What gas tank is that? really hard to find anything that fits that frame. Also where did you get those forward controls? very nice build, you guys did a great job!

 

[1lowdiesel]

Very cool. Those wheels and tires are a perfect fit for the bike.

Tank and forward controls are Yamaha xv250 (Virago) with some modifications.
