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 ![:D](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/grin.png) 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 ![:P](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/tongue.png) ) 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 ![:P](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/tongue.png) 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,
Stu.
