I'll post some more tonight. I like everything running on 2 wheels but a bobber like these do it for me. In person, these bikes were superb with top drawer paint and clean manufacturing.

By the way, the bikes in the very first post were around 15K. Not bad in a sea of 40K bikes.

Looks kind of chilly down there! But I wish I could have gone all the same.

I would be like a kid in a candy store with all those bikes on display

Yeah, 15 and change! Springer forks were additional. With all the overdone billet choppers with 300 series rubber, seeing a sea of old school bikes was 'refreshing' and just reinforced my preference for clean , original style bikes.

I'm going to build up one myself in the next year. I can get everything I need to do this for about 8-9K including a new EVO drive line, fat bob tank, springer front end etc. As an alternative, it might be easier and to buy a clean/running old Shovel or EVO donor bike and just reframe it. Decisions, decisions (and money too)!

Got to see a lot of nice bikes this year in Daytona. I am a bobber fan also. Titan has a nice bobber with 93 shovel, kick start(and electric) for under 20k. Really thinking about one as bar hopper second bike.
