lucky 13. Honda CL 350 Rat bike Bobber

I built this bike on a tight budget. I hand made almost all the parts on it. After I built it I decided to convert it to a jocky shift. With no custom parts available for this model I made the parts I needed. I've never had so much fun! We have entered it in two bike shows and took first place both times. that was before the jocky conversion. After riding foot shift hand clutch for the last 40 years riding a jocky shift was very interesting! It's so much fun to ride! Thanks for taking the time to watch this video.

i still tinker with it sometimes. it's an on going project. a toy. it took me like 2 months to get it where it is now altogether. thanks for the great review and watching my video.

The wife found it on ebay. I drilled it and tapped it to fit the shifter shaft I made. Thanks for watching.

no, if it's heated right it bends easy. just have to twist it slowly and keep it very hot. checking for straightness all the while. when twisting in oposite directions i let it cool before the next twist. don't want to unscrew it... lol!

bike looks good but i think it might need a different tank go to my videos and check out my cb 550 i built for 300 bucks i just made a suicide shifter for it with the twisted bar technique and a yeingling beer tap for the knob. i would like to do a rigid rear as well soon. good work

thas a stunning bike I'm after building something just like it for my first real bike project ive only ever done small mods before I own a 125 cruiser atm but know it inside out and after a 600 but most middlewight cruisers look lame and i've always liked the look of bobbers and choppers didnt think it was so easy to turn a ugly lookin bike into something that nice and when i say easy i mean with little budget haha any advice on models of bike that are best to customize?

Great Bike! I love the "Rat Bike" look, flat black and no chrome! Love the blacked out exhaust, but I would also like the look of a wrapped exhaust on that bike. Really Cool!
