I'd like to see those links too...
bobbers are sweet. but IMO the sound is almost just as important as the look. definitely not gonna get that same sound out of 200cc
heres a pic of the size. i dont think they are too small for a bobber
Just so I understand.. These are not hardknocks. Most are Yamaha XS650s that have been hardtailed and raked. The XS is a great platform to start with, they are very easy to work on and parts supply is awesome. You can even thro a magneto with a cap and kick with no battery. Love these bikes, they used to be cheap as hell, but with the popularity they have gained your lucky to find a running XS under 1500.00
I paid 600 bucks for mine it was an 82 Xs special2. I ended up parting it out for 5x the money on ebay.

Redneck Eng. has a bobber for the Buell that is sick. But with the Buell gone now I don't know that I would build one.
With the Kikker bike you can drop a Honda motor in them. The motors that are in the are really Honda motors anyways.

More $$ than a kikker, but I think Sportsters are really easy to make look right. Mine:

Looks like a Nightster with flat paint and a new seat to me? And a fat front tire.More $$ than a kikker, but I think Sportsters are really easy to make look right. Mine:

I seen all kinds of stuff come through the shop in the last 30 years worked on some real nice bikes and worked on several i would not throw my leg over the seat but its all what suits your style do some research before you purchase.Cant go wrong sticking a honda motor in one though way easier to maintain.

Almost, but there are some differences. I ditched the fork boots and the headlight. The larger front tire also required swapping to a wide-glide tree. Pretty much any sportster is about the same except for the gas tank.
