    A HD Street Bob - Street Bobber - bobber = BOb

    Look sweet. According to reports handle well.

    One thing I do not get with HD - the front turn signals - the spend a fair bit getting the look of the rest of the bikes sweet then bolt on a fuggly pair of signals to the underside of the bars. So friggin 80's. Easy fixed from the aftermarket.
