Pictures of the 1987 Honda XL600R Bobber



Got an ammo can from the local army surplus store. Also grab extra large bullets to use a foot pegs!  Really pulls the project together! The ammo can didn't end up on the side of the bike, like it is in this picture. We end up tucking it underneath the oil tank/ batter box between the bottom cross bars behind the motor.

The original piece is the neck and forks. This picture shows the welds and gussets we made out of sheet metal. Turned out pretty cool. a little different.


This is a good picture of the bike jacked up shortly before paint.We did have a difficult time, due to the vibrations of the bike, keep nuts and bolts in place and keeping a rear tail light. We had to pad the rear tail light so that the vibrations wouldn't break the bulb and we had to get lock nuts for a few parts on the bike.
