what do i need to do to make my 79 cb a bobber

It depends on how radical you want to go. I'm not a big fan of stripping her down all the way.
Some options you have are a sportster seat bolts up easily as does a sportster fender rack. Add a tombstone tail light. Maybe a change in handlebars, or a teardrop tank?

My 81 is semi bobbered. I will eventially do more,

Re: bobber how to

this is my bobber

it was built by my uncle in the late 70s and was left to me when he passed away last year. i am removing the highway pegs and replacing them with forward controls. as well as swapping the seat. a bobber is a striped down bike meant to ridden not for show and can be almost anything the builder can dream.

COOL!

Nice "Kong" job done on the frame. However since your Uncle built it in the 70s that predates calling that particular modification "Konging a frame," so we might have to rename it after your Uncle.

Tools hit the nail on the head!

Welcome in bud, and nice looking bike! I will offer one thing. Gives those mid-controls a chance before you go too far. I had a set of forwards on a similar bike once and I gotta admit, it's a little tough straddling these wide motors. I've got long legs and found it hard. Just something to chew on.

Looking forward to see what you come up with,though. Keep us in the loop!
