1980 suzuki transformed into a hardtail bobber. No front brake, shortened rear fender, spring seat and primed black wheels, tins, and bars. Another bike built out of the straight pipe productions shop!

Great video! Very inspiring. I just picked up a 1981 GS550 E that I'm gonna turn into a hardtail bobber. But I'm keeping my front brake! Again, great video!

No front brake? Seriously!? Wow - that's, erm, brave. Take off the most effective brake and leave the least. Not on my bike... but then, this isn't my bike and "each to their own" Aside from that, nice looking ride. I like the striping on the tank, classy.

@ruuke74 The bike was dropped using an 8x8 wood block placed underneath the original exhaust frame brackets. The bike was built off the ride height sitting on the block. (see vid). Changing the rear tire is as normal, just have to lift the bike high enough off the ground to get the wheel out from underneath. @calibayne Riding with only a rear brake is as normal. Just have to pay greater attention to surroundings as your stopping power is greatly reduced. @yumberri Enlever - Bounce

Nice work on the bike. Doing something similar on an 82 650 I just bought< quick question if you dont mind; why did you weld in a plate in front of the battery? Does it serve as a gusset? thanks

I'm also pretty tall and I plan picking up a GS550 soon for a great price and building it myself. I have 2 questions. Am I too tall for a bobber? And how much did the build cost you to do not counting how much you bought the bike for? I'm really considering building a 550 cuz I found such a great deal and this is the look I'm aiming for just I wanna blast the tank n fenders n let it rust and I want diff handle bars. Great bike tho man I love it!

Also to all the guys asking advice. Look around google. But more Importantly, do it yourself. Thats what real choppers are all about. Not that wcc shit. A friend of mine has a 52 panhead harley with 110 hp and it not a long ass stretched out bike but its a chopper, hence the name, psrts are "chopped off" get to wrenchin boys and girls.

i have a 77 gs750 im going to be turning into a bobber. in lowering where you sit makes the bike easier to handle because you are in line with the mass rather than on top of it. i had a stock 81 cb650 and a bobber cb650 the bobber felt lighter and easier to move than the stock cb650.
