    After selling my 883,,, at one point I was sure I was getting 2018 fat bob.. but after a bit of self reflecting, I realised it wasn't my kind of Harley.. 
    So moving on to street bob with bit of customization in mind. 
    Street bob has been my choice because I like the spoked wheels (doesnt go out of style) and digital gauge (easy to change fuel tanks around),,

    Fiddled around in Photoshop for a concept. let me know your thoughts peeps. so far I'm thinking following.
    -king sportster fuel tank
    -single saddle
    -chrome exhaust
    -rear fender mod
    -forward control
    -fork gaiter removed
    -shorten front fender
    -air cleaner..


    Thanks for reading.

    Not feeling it at all.

    But I also HATE that new Triumph Bobber thing too.

    I'm not sure what it is, but none of them look right to me.

    All the oldschool (shovels and older) bobbers seem to be able to pull the look off effortlessly, so that's where my money would be aimed.

    If you have designed something you like the look of just do it, one of the joys of a harley is building your own dream not being worried others will object to your choices. I am not a fan of the tank choice but then I don't own it or have to ride it, then unless you are going to buy the bike and change it in one go it will probably evolve beyond this anyway.

    I like it.  love that old school style.  Have a play around with moving the seat further back and down if possible and the lines of the bike will be smoking hot.

    correct me if I`m wrong but don`t the street bobs have the bigger 5 gal tank why would you change tanks?. sorry but for me all that exposed frame takes away from the lines & the sporty tank sticks up a bit much , I agree with maeltrol  if possible bring the seat back & down but your bike mate as long as your happy & I also don`t mind the Gaters aren`t they a old school loojk?

    when I went to my local dealer it was a shame to see the streetbob called a softail..

    it just doesn't look right..
