- SELF INTRODUCTION: Hello everyone. first of all a big thanks to "Dan the Man". Some of you know me from the previous (2) boards and some don't, so here goes. I have been a fabricator/welder for over 40 years now. Damn that's a helluva long time to do anything! Anyways, I have built literaly 100's of street rods, pro streeters, racecars, bikes and trikes over the years. Never made the headlines and never will. I do what I do because it is the love of my life.
I enjoy reading the posts on the forum and try to contribute when I can. I am sure that this will be every bit as good as the CBH forum, as we will have most of the same folks. Good luck and post a lot of pics!! Jim - Location: Lowcountry USA

Hi jimmib, glad you made it over to the new forum. The build will continue not giving up to stubborn for that. Lots to do and organize , buying new machinery to help the build go easier.

Re: 1979 Honda CB750 Bobber build
Thanks curt, it is starting to finally look the way i want it too. Going to order my new front avon 90/90/19" tire so i can get the bike setup exactly at proper height, then it will make it alot easier to figure out the springer tube lengths etc.

Re: 1979 Honda CB750 Bobber build
I am using the stock honda comstar rims for the bobber build. The front tire size will stay the same 90/90/19" avon roadrider but the rear tire size is 130/90/17" avon roadrider. So once i get the front tire and mount it on ths stock front comstar rim i will be able to get organized enough to figure out the springer size and lengths i will need etc.

Re: 1979 Honda CB750 Bobber build
Thanks guys and gals for the vote of confidence, it may be taking me forever it seems but thats what i was expecting since i have never done this heavy of bike fabrication work. Once i manage to get my air hydraulic ram and figure out mounting it all up, then i should be able to get using my bender and learn to get tubing bent up properly. I am going to be also ordering my jig tubing and a bunch of other parts etc during the winter so i have the stuff i need to really get building in the summer again, slow and steady and i will get there.
