Is a street bob a dyna style drive train(haven't seen one )? If it is you would have to find a company to make the frame for you .

EDIT- sorry guys, I didn`t notice the date when I read the thread.

what year Dyna? The Evo dynas used the same motor so yes that will work. The Twin Cam motors up to 2005 will work if you buy the adaptor to fit EVO softail frame mounts. 2006-up motors are different all together.
