I'll be honest, this is the closest thing to my if-money-were-no-object and riding-wasn't-important Bobber that I've seen from H-D in a while. Even with $2k of Willie G Skull bolt-ons, it's still lower than a BMC Bobber.

The funky seat in the picture would be great for riding down Dickson Street (the local cultural area) but would have to go back to the VFR if I didn't want to frustrate my riding buddies.

Would make a nice bar hopper but couldn't go much further with a 2.1 gallon tank.

Tell ya what Shawn you get one of those I'll cobble something together and we'll start hitting Dickson on Wednesday nights this summer.
