Welcome new guy!
The thing about bobbers is they are such personal interpretations of what a motorcycle should be. What looks totaly cool to a chopper rider usually is a sacrilige to purist classic lover. There are a lot of guys involved with this forum that are bobber riders and many have posted pictures of their rides. You might do a search for bobbers on this forum and see what you come up with then pm the individuals that have more or less what tickles your fancy to get a general idea of how they went about building theirs. I've seen a lot of frames, engines and partially completed projects on ebay that would make a good starting point. If you buy any Triumph, get shop (I prefer the Triumph manuals but Hanes makes some useable ones too) and parts manuals for the sprecific year engine/frame because they made a lot of changes that don't necessairly apply from one year to another. Once (if) you get started there are a lot of savy peple on the forum that can help with technical advice, parts locating, etc. There must be a Classic Bike meet or race going on somewhere because there are usually more and quicker responses to any new comer to the forum.
