Nice I just picked up a 76 Honda CB400F. I have a 76 or 77 CB750 that I would sell for a project like this if anyone is interested. 500 come and get it, runs just needs adjustments…and paint. ---

how comfortable are bobbers to ride? can you get a sprung seat setup that’s comfortable? the bars are low, but the seat is lower so it seems like it could be somewhat comfortable ---

Bobbers are soooo uncomfortable to ride lol. As are cafe racers as well. These bikes are sick, but I’d only take them to Mighty and then back home, I’d hate to ride farther than that. ---
