    If I were you Drifter, I would want to build a picture in my mind of what I want to end up with, then work back from there.

    Google 'bobber' and look at what bits you like. Then copy and paste them into a A3 publisher document. Then when looking for, what your going for, you can instantly look at 12~15 bikes that make you drool. Then pick all the individual bits you like and go for a look you want. I was going to build a TW125 custom a few years ago, go started but never finished (usual time/money problem) but that's what I did and you get a picture in your mind of what you were going for.

    One of these days I'll get it built !!!! I was given the bike for free, so costs me nothing to have it sat in the garage.
