Does anyone have any experience converting a Suzuki GS850 GL into a bobber or rat bike?

I am curious about the length of the frame and making an authentic looking bobber/rat bike. I am looking at a 1980 that supposedly runs strong. The price is good for my FIRST project. ANY ideas, whatsoever, would be helpful.
 
well its an inline 4 motor so I would be looking for a ridgid frame meant for a honda C.B. 750. The honda is also an inline four so the motor mounts will be close and just a little bit of modification will need to be done. The honda had a seperate oil tank but you could use that space to hang a chrome box to house your electrics. Then its just a matter of gas tank.[sportster tank or mustang tank will both mount that frame and look good] Then pick a front end. solo seat and P pad will look good.
