Getting back to Leo's original subject, seems the most plentiful donor bike is the good ole Chinese DS (dual sport).
To make the Chinese DS into a bobber, the plastic fenders, tank and other panels must be replaced with tins from classic bikes (or refinished).
If you base your bobber on a Zongshen RX3, you could have yourself an 80mph machine.

Sounds like a plan, bro! Have a bone!

I'd love to see more Chinese bobbers on the road! They are modern-day equivalents to the good old Harley 45 and 74 flatheads, and Indian Scouts and Chiefs. Probably as much performance as the 45's, too.  I truly love my "modern" (sorta) Kymco, but deep down inside, I'm still a chopper guy!

The "Chinese bobber" brings us nostalgically back to that WONDERFUL era of the affordable chopper that was so prevalent when I was a little nipper... OK, so I was a BIG nipper... LOL!

C'mon, you young bucks and does, get out the old cutting torch and make some head-turners!!!

Ride safe, and, ride COOL!
