Been drooling over them for a while now... I don't know which way to go? Buy pre-built from a company such as Sucker Punch Sally? Or go with a kit and build it myself? The later would bring more satisfaction no doubt, but I don't think I have the patience... Do any of you have any experience with Sucker Punch Sally? I really like what they do! Here is some eye candy -- I think this is absolutely killer!!

Hmmmm.... not much of a bobber crowd I take it! Or, I'm like an Amish who left his church. I won't go to hell, but I'll be shunned for being different...

Here is some more eye candy -- I really like this one-- I think the springer front end and wide front tire, sets it off:

Have you looked at the Darwin Cycles web site? I think they call their bikes Brass Balls Bobbers. The bikes look really cool. They come with either a Harley Evo motor or an Indian 100 inch Power Plus.

Floodgates,

Sucker Punch Sallys are nice, I like them myself but they aren't cheap.

I would suggest getting an older bike that the drivetrain components are in good shape and go from there. You can bob and chop what you like and make it your own. Add or subtract parts, take off a fender, put a fatter wheel on, whatever.

I think it would be more fun and you can personalize it yourself.

I hadn't, but I did... they are definitely sweet and definitely pricey! I know what the Evo motor is like, but don't know anything about the Indian 100 ci Power Plus? The pics I posted is most certainly the way I want to go (apes, whitewalls, powder coated rims and a flat black finish). Thanks for pointing them out to me!

That's another option for sure... I do have a specific look I'm going after. I'm just afraid that by the time I add everything I want, it'll cost me just as much, and I'll still have an old bike. Sucker Punch Sallys is pretty much the cat's a$$!. I even considered bobbing my VTX, but that involves going with a ridgid frame (don't like the look of solid struts on a swingarm) and it just don't look right with a driveshaft. One of my bud did it and I like his bike, But not quite what I'm looking for:

Sucker Punch make first-rate, reasonbly-priced, hardcore, old school (forgive my use of that term), chops, and, more to the point, bobbers. They're 08 lineup of six extremely cool models, is defintely worth checking out. SPS gives you great bang for the buck. Check out my review of their 66 Bobber in the August issue of AIM. It gives you a bit of SPS history, along with my critique of the machine. Sucker Punch rocks!

FlyRite Choppers also makes some attraction machines along the line of Sucker Punch's style of old school bobjobs.

What's the deal with the one in the new issue (June I think) of American Iron as the calendar bike.

It's copper looking and very cool but forgot the name of the guys who built it.

Hey Bros. Be sure to put some serious miles on a hardtail before you decide to lay your cash down on one. Try to rent one for the weekend. It's one thing to look at one and quite another to live with one.
