I've had a lot of experience building Asian bobbers.In mu picture is a 1981 Suzuki 850 bobber I race in street class.If you really want a hardtail frame there's two ways buy a full frame or a hardtail section.You can use a weld on hard tail for a BSA from British Cycle.ready to goThe other thing is to simply replace your rear shocks with strutsthis is the cheapest way to go and no frame welding required.Any thing else contact me I've got lots of pictures of bobbers in various states of finish I can share.
