New guy from Holland!

hey gang,
thanks for the opportunity to introduce myself.
I am Marcel, 35 jears old, and totally into old cars & bikes.
Bought a 1980 750 LTD from a cousin, and trying to build my first bob/chop out of it.
Wasn't satisfied with the triple backbone, so took it out. Still needs tons of work..but hey..it's MY bike



I already found tons of info on this site, thanks for that!

Welcome to the forum....
Did you replace it with something? :dry: :S

oi, welcome1 nice that you came to us but the motor forum nl is one hell of a good place...

you must be one hell of a talent if you can make your frame twist and not be satisfied with it in your first bike... are you sure th frame is the problem?

I suspect he removed it for cosmetic (bob/chop) reasons. :ohmy: I best it will twist now. :whistle: Pictures would be helpful. Ed

Welcome Marcel from a Middle aged guy from Holland.

Looking forward to your project.

hey guys,

I got a sportster tank for my bike, and the triple backbone gives it a bad stance;
so i removed the 2 sidetubes. But...I am gonna make new gussets on the frame ofcourse, because it will twist if i don't strenghten the frame ofcourse.

p.s. if someone has ideas/inspiration on the bike, negative or positive, please let me know!

Check out www.dotheton.com/
They have a section for bob/chops I think, as well as a section for Dutch members.
Lots of ideas and links for custom parts.

thanks guys!
