Anyone ever hardtailed/bobbed a dirtbike?

I think scooping ice cream makes more money than a paper route. lol

Personally I wouldn't but you would learn alot doing it. You could also buy a bigger japper 650-750 for the same or less dough and have a bike that has some nuts to get out of the way. But if it were mine it would have studded tires in the winter and be a winter beater for those 3 times it snows 13" down here! Show some of these southern cats how a yank gets along with the snow!

You need to do something to that bike, just not sure yet. I like the idea of keeping it a swing arm, urban assult, dirt track racing tracker bike, some shit like that. What ever ya do it will kick ass.

Something like this attachment.(if it works)

I had a guy offer me a 73 honda xl175 for a 100 bucks today...In decent running condition. I'd like to make a super narrow rigid bobber out of it. Anyone ever done anything like that? Has anyone here every hard tailed a dirt bike? Here's a photo of the bike i'm talking about.

Do it ! I had a early 70's Honda SL100 when i was like 10 - 11 wish i had it back i'd do it.

How about that, in less than 2 hours you've got 3 examples of exactly why you shoudn't do it. That's unless you want a bike that looks like a Kikker Hardknock that's been put together by a class of drunk, blind children who misplaced the instructions.

God bless the Internets.

sorry i dont have the money for an xs or a sporty now go choke down some cock meat

Why not try saving some $ instead of wasting it on cowboy dress up kits. You may be a po boy, but you could at least attempt to make a bike with some nice lines and a little bit of grace.

[JesusChrist]

grace and line are overrated

Just chop the fuck out of it ride the fuck out of it and be happy who cares what the internets think.

[KawiDave]

Chop it!!!!!

that wasnt a dress up kit its how i dress....... it better than any of the "bobbed" sportys with struts on here. onces its got a fender and a seat itll look like any other brat styled bike.... i know its not the best but its practise so when i can afford a "real" bike i wont fuck it up.....

It's actually an enduro. So tags shouldn't be a problem.

actually i think punkskalar is right. from what ive heard, only a limited number of VINs for these bikes were granted street legal status. the rest were for off road use only.

[Speedfiend]

Nothing wrong with chopping a dirt bike, just don't chop a little dirt bike. Now, an old KDX450, that'd be nasty.
