My name is Luke. I live in Wisconsin.
I got this farm bopper 84 from a guy I work with. His dad picked it up at an auction for $20. It had no oil tank so he just made it a mix gas machine and got it cooking.
He sold it to me for $50.
It looked like a standard spree. All plastic intact. Most signals and lights were smashed from being tossed around on the farm.
Since acquiring it I have been back and fourth on what to do with it.
Decision- I love chopped and bobbed motorcycles... I am actually in the search for donor bike to build my first bobber. But for now I have my spree. I am pumped to see where I can take this little thing.
Plans.
-Strip down, clean and paint frame and find a better way to run the electrical.
-new oil pump, tank, and battery.
-Get the thing running normal again on gas and oil seperately.
-Fashion a new exhaust.
-Chop the spring to lower the back end a few inches.
-Reformulate the seat position. (already done ghetto style)
-New headlight.
-new position for speedo
-Delete all plastic (this is still up in the air)
-New tires.
-create new way for foot placement (already done ghetto style)
I thank that about does it.
I was messing with it today after I finished my wife's extensive spring yardwork list.
What I did today-
- flipped the cargo stand around and turned it into a seat bracket
-Bolted in to the frame and attached the seat. This gives a cool stance to the bike but in it's current running state in tends to pickup the front end a lot after it boggs down and picks back up!
-Removed nearly all the plastic, lights, battery tray...
-cut up a metal pole and made temporary foot pegs.
-That's it for today. I am gonna get together with my brother (good reason to hang with him) to brainstorm this week on how to fashion it.
-Test fit and teardown, here we come?
More TC.
