Time For My New Summer Hobby, Building a bobber chopper! Options

[Sircraigery]

Hey folks, haven't been around in a few weeks! But for good reason, I'm hacking an old 1977 Kawasaki kz650 into a sweeeeeeet BOBBER!!!! I got it for $350 from some farmer's field, and the frame and engine (which is all I care about), seem to be in great shape.

Summer isn't for guitar imo (unless your playing gigs outside.. which I am not).

If you don't know what a bobber chopper is, it's an oldschool street bike chopped into a rat bike. Better yet, I'll just post some youtube vids of people's builds. Most popular are the honda cb, and the yamaha xs series....(ies?).

The Yamaha XS650:

It's unbelievable that these old bikes look so awesome with as little as $1000 invested if you have the right tools and know how to do some welding and a bit of painting. Wish me luck, I'll keep this build a well documented one since I haven't seen many Kawasaki builds on youtube. Some white wall tires, harley sportster gas tank, and some ape hangers are going to be my only expenses.... I already have the german helmet


EDIT: PICS FIXED, WITH BETTER PICS THIS TIME TOO.
