Craigslist "funnies"

[Rob S.]

So he rode this little "starter bike" until he developed the skills required to handle a newer cruiser....... OK.

Exactly. His "learning bike" taught him to want a cruiser? Fire that teacher!

This guy seriously seriously replaced the frame rails with chain. Curved at that. There is zero structural rigidity there. I can't fathom how someone would have thought this was a good idea. Im shocked its not folded in half.

Hello, I have an 82 honda nighthawk cb750 that's been turned into a bobber. As far as bobbers go I tried to make look as nice and clean as I could and not bob it out real ratty. I put a lot of time and effort into this bike. There are tons of new parts here's a run down.
New paint job. Cut down down the frame and welded chain link to make new frame.
Hand made the solo seat. New signals with smoke lenses. New mini tachometer and mini speedometer. New exhaust wrap.
New license plate holder hand made. New headlights. Replaced the handle bars. New Maltese cross mirrors. Mounted an ammo box on the side for looks as well as that's where the battery and registration and insurance papers go. Removed the ignition switch and installed toggle under seat. For those of you thinking that makes the bike easy for theft it has a grenade shaped rotor lock that stores under the seat just don't forget it's on the rotor before you drive off! Carb was cleaned and new jet o rings installed starts up good. Fork seals replaced. New battery.
Not currently inspected but should pass. I'm asking 2200 obo Call or text no email plz 717 five two one 6598
Thanks for looking

Ok “Not currently inspected but should pass.”
Wanna place a bet on that?

 

[Rob S.]

But he did the welding himself!

 

[RaiderGT]

I mean, most states you wouldnt need an inspection but yeah, def wouldnt pass one. they would laugh you out of the shop. That thing is dangerous.

 

[GS1150Pilot]

Further proof that the bobber set is generally the shallow end of the gene pool.

 

[dorkburger]

It will easily pass inspection.... If your buddy owns the shop.....

 

[JTGS850GL]

Not to try to defend this bike but it is possible that there is welded framing under the seat and the chain is only ornamental.

That would be cheating.

 

[bccap]

I don't think he cheated. From his ad........ " Cut down down the frame and welded chain link to make new frame "

When there are no pictures you have to wonder. When this is the description, you have to run fast and far away.

The current bid is about what it's worth. Mostly the parts for an actually usable motorcycle.

The left side of that bike was decent looking...before he touched it.

Su-prise, su-prise! He's from a small town.

He pried hisself away from crotch rockets 'cause he always wanted a bobber. He spent all that money on parts 'cause he always wanted a bobber. He put all that time into it 'cause he always wanted a bobber.

Doesn't say why he's selling it.

...He decided he didn't really want a bobber...

 

[Brendan W]

Or decided he really wanted a real bobber, really.
