Love the zombie gif. The baby zombie is killing me.....nice! True with that welding of the frame I hate to guess why he has not posted in 5 months...... :blink:
Take it from me cuz I found
If you leave it then somebody else is bound,
To find that treasure, that moment of pleasure,
When yours, it could have been.

Love the fact your doing the fab work yourself and building it to your dreams. Bobbers and cafe racers sadly being left behind to big bore curisers and sport bikes, glad to see a fellow KZ rider still pursuing the vintage. Nothing quite like the first ride on your customized machine :).

Can't wait to follow this one, Love hard tail bobber jobs.

Good luck.

The Factory Metal Works DOES Rock.
Lucas knows his shit & is really great to work with.
I used one of his hard tails on my Triumph.
Keep at it, It'll be a cool bike.

looks good man! As long as you have another ride,Take your time with the build.Nothing like getting that satisfaction that you created something cool with your own two hands.

By the way, When I did my bobber, I learned allot from a site called The Jockey Journal.
It's strickly classic Harley & Triumph, but much applies to any bobber, & some Triumph & Kawasaki stuff will interchange (bars, hand controls, rims, tires...)

Just picture gallery alone is worth checking out.

Good to see you're back at it. What did the tank come from?

I'm guessing that the bicycle bars are probably thinner wall tubing than MC handlebars. I doubt you'll be going too fast on this bike anyway. I bet they aren't a problem.

Got any pictures of the Yamahoe?

Your bike is starting to take shape. Keep up the good work.
