Project Number... 4? 5?... Mini-Bob
« on: Oct 06, 2008, 22:13:55 »
So, I splurged with my billions and bought LoveHertz's spare CB360 (as a favor  :P )

Anyway, here is a picture of when it got home.



Only really missing a set of carbs... plus some minor bits.

So, we all go to milton, and I happen to get some bits...   and the result it this:



Introducing Project Mini-Bob

So, I'm gonna need to sort out the hardtail aspect of this, which will probably be a set of struts to start.   I will eventually give this a REAL hardtail.  Also need to start sorting out the seat/tank.  Also giving serious consideration to a jockey shift setup.   Should be an interesting machine when i'm done.

Speaking of "got it bad", I've got your Project 5... 6... 7... for ya!

How about stuffing a FZR600 engine in the CB350 frame?? It's all here. Engine, mounts, carbs, air box, electrics, gauges, switch gear, etc.

Goin' cheap??  :o :o

Ha, ha! You know ya wanna!!  ;D ;D

Well, between the secret project and this, i've been busy. 

First I built a seat outta 1/8" steel with a fender off a CB750.  I added an aftermarket Model T Taillight and some turn signals (cause I like having signals for dumb ass drivers)  I've also got all the wires tucked away nicely with all the required electrics...  just need a battery.




It's hard to see in the second photo, but there is a switch for the lights...  Low-Off-High...  again, for dumb ass drivers on the road.  One thing I'm not happy with is the seat pad that I have there... Thinking about a thin pieces of foam and simple leather cover. 

Here are the completed bars with all controls.  I added 2 micro switches into the housing that I included, one for horn, one for turns.




Yes...  it's missing a clutch...  and that's how that will stay.   Busy trying to fab a foot clutch, but it's proving to be a bit tough.  I expect that i'll end up build 2-3 different versions of the foot control to get it right.

oh, and an overall pic.



kinda crappy, but what you going to do.

Tits. I've been looking for a good bobber build to follow to get some ideas. I'm planning a bobber for next winter... post lots of pictures-- especially when you do the hardtail! Looking forward to this one!

Thanks for the compliments.

Here is a bit more progress on the jockey shifter.  This is the assembly for the foot clutch...  bit bodged at this point, but funtional.   There is a tight clearance between the shifter and the clutch, but it works.



Mounted with shifter (the actual hand shifter is tomorrow's job.
