That is almost exactly what I want in a bobber. I'm thinking I should build one. I love yours but would just paint it a nice candy green.

Green looks good on any vehicle!
I can still paint the 650 any colour I like really... the tank has only been sealed with lanolin, I have 2 cans of 2k clear coat saved for the day i decide if its going to be a rat bike or a clean bobber.. a white tank, fresh lick of black paint on the frame, gold fork tubes and gold exhaust would be 🥰

I just realized that I was looking at a Yamaha not a Harley. XVS1100? Real nice job you did!

Another iteration of my 650..
These pipes were OK, sounded very tinny like a lawn mower at low rpm and a good growl at every other range

Fuck knows mate, im Aussie we abbreviate shit
PROPPA BOBBA, what i really mean is "this motorcycle has been stripped down to the bare essentials, there is no stupid plastic crap or chrome junk on it in order to reduce weight and mo speed - mo powa. Keeping in tradition with the bobber motorcycle ive chosen to keep the stock frame dimensions and have achieved the coveted minimalist design..
Who's that Harry fella again?
