Default gz 250 bobber

I need to be talked out of an idea that I had while stripping down my wifes Gz250 to paint it. While I had the rear fender and bracket off, I thought WOW! that would make a cool bobber. I have built many a classic car as a hobby, but this would be my first custom on a bike. The question I have that can only be answered by fellow enthusiast is would it look foolish to "bob" such a small bike? I have looked at a few that have been done, and they looked out of proportion because they made mistakes like leaving the front fender(huge) on with out any mods. I am open to all ideas,suggestions and comments.
