Re: 78 Zuke GS750 Bobber build
Hey man, I like what you got going there! Overall I like the stance, how much stretch did you give that rear section, looks like about 8-10"? Thanks for posting.

Looks that way because of where I put the bend. Its back about 6 actually...Wheel base went from 58.7" to 71.5" with the neck rake and stretch.

Re: 78 Zuke GS750 Bobber build
Wow I like what your doing. Seems like your a collector. By the looks of your garage you either buy up wrecked Vets or your a pretty bad driver. And you have to chop bikes, with all those saws-alls, what else would you do with four of them.

Re: 78 Zuke GS750 Bobber build
LOL, the sawzalls pic is an inside joke for a buddy of mine who's dragging his feet on his build. He told me his sawzall broke. Only two of the ones in the pic work. I get a lotta miles out of that pic as I post it in other forums when a member who's a "purist" aka "restoration nut" starts going off on cutting up bikes! Makes 'em go crazy..
Vettes are a rainy day project waiting for me to get around to 'em...I need a bigger garage!

We all need bigger garages. I don't have one at all, I use my Mom's. I told her when she moved down 28 years ago I would mow the lawn in exchange for the garage. I should have made sure she bought a house with a two car garage and less lawn.

Re: 78 Zuke GS750 Bobber build
Henry,
I see the welder in the back ground, I am assuming it's a mig but tell me what you are using to weld with - 110/220, mig, tig, stick, how you like it and etc? Inquiring minds.
