Hi all,
Names Quinton I am a student doing Engineering at Canterbury and came across this site when doing some looking into doing a bobber project.
Don't be hating the Gn250 bobber idea till I explain myself :P
I got given (for a box of beer) an 83 Gn250 the other day. It is a perfect runner.. Just needs a new battery and a slow tire leak fixed. (Should have new bits Tuesday)
I plan on stripping it down, painting it, single seat, chop bits here.. strut the rear end etc just for some practical experience working on a bike. I am only 20 and want to get a bit more hands on.
I plan on doing another (bigger bike) in time but for a basically free bike I thought I would have some fun over the summer ++ at the end of the day I should get what I spend on it back if/when I come to sell (although thats not what its about!)
There are some cool examples of what a Gn250 can become on youtube which gives me a little bit of hope that what I am doing isn't a complete waste of time. Search gn250 bobber.
Not much to see yet, will upload some photos of it before I start ripping it to pieces later on next week.
