RE: CHK OUT THE STREETBOB CHOPPER!

I saw this guy and the bike at a bike show. He said for $3000, he would do the frame work and extend the forks. Overall, the biked looked really good, I sat on it, and for such a long front end, it felt like it would be very comfortable and easy to ride.

They say because of the Harley portion of the bike that it is more comfortable than a typical chopper making it more functional than some of the choppers that look cool but feel like a broom stick.

It's not doing anything for me. I'd spend $20Kon a Big Dog over that creation any day!!!

Definitely not worth the $$. It is totally stock except for the short list of mods done to the frame and front end. Although I do kind of like how they mounted the front signals to the headlight bucket. That's a free mod that could be done.

I would be worried about the handle bars not being tied together. It looks like they could loosen up and turn on you!! Unless I'm missing something!

Hmm..a company that takes Harleys and creates a different bike out of it? I've never heard of that before.

This a company out of NJ that is modifying new Harleys and creating Choppers, but keeping the Harley Engine and reliability.

Howard is more known for his Hubless bike than the Streetbob conversion chopper. http://www.howardshubless.com/

Now can you imagine your Streetbob becoming the hubless Streetbob!
