I've decided that i want to build a honda 125 bobber, but i really don't know where ot start. Alot of the small bobbers are either (to me) to long in the rear, or look right but are ridiculously small :L However the cd200 bobber on here looks pretty great  Ive seen some customised honda rebel 125's, but they seem to be pretty rare, so getting hold of one will be hard Any suggestions? |

How about a CG125, I was thinking about going down that route.

Thats what i was thinking of using, i've got one in m garage but its too good to chop (1978 with 7,000 miles  ) But to look right, the seat must be so close to the ground, and I'm pretty tall so it would be a bit of a squeeze even with forward controls :/ |

To good to chop? You should of seen my Anglia before it met the tools!
I'm around 6' and my bike seems quite comfy with a lower seat. I am finding it hard trying to hide things like brake light switches though as the frame is so small. I've noticed on the bigger bikes a lot of stuff is hid in a dummy oil tank. You could extend the rear a bit but like you say it just looks out of proportion.

Hehehe, there so cheap i might aswell just buy another CG All my worry of small bobbers looking out of proportion have vanished since you uploaded that last picture of yours, haha. I've been looking at yours and i can honestly say its the only that looks 'right'. Cheers |

Have you made a decision yet? I am looking forward to the build up on this one. I will be collecting a bike of my own shortly and starting my own bobber, although mine will be a bit bigger than a 125 ;D
Cheers,
