The paint was inspired by one of the coolest bikes out there in my opinion. I wish I had gotten a Vivid Black Bob so I could more easily create this. http://www.titanmotorcycles.com/bobb...es_001_jpg.htm

That Titan bobber does look awesome! We were drooling over a Deep Cobalt Street Glide at the local stealer. It had silver flames with a nice pinstripe outline. Silver against the blue was really beautiful. Sweet bike with a 103hp modded 88" and a steal at only $33,000! [:-]

Check out Thunder Mountain Customs Sterling RM Bobber, $30,000 though, I mean that is a lot of money to pay for something that doesn't even have rear suspension. Custom manufacturers must be raking in the dough. That TMC Sterling RM must have $10,000 of pure profit built right in to the price. And the Flame Von Zipper Titan is around $25,000. I seriously could turn my bike into one of those for less................................. (Reader-"Well why don't you") Maybe I will.

I saw one of the TMC at Charlotte HD and thought it was right. They didn't have a price so I wasn't about to ask!

I'm kinda wondering why HD didn't put a springer front end on the Bob. I love springers, and the St. Bob would've been the perfect bike for it...
Anyone see one with a springer?

Some of those custom bikes are outrageous. There's a shop locally that just added their own springer bobber to their custom bike lineup. All chrome springer front end, aftermarket Softail frame, RevTech 88" and tranny. $16,500. Of course, they don't have a famous name but there is a three year warranty. My brother may get one.

Ive always said a Dyna frame blacked out bike with a springer front end would be a big seller for HD, I wish I could of ordered my Springer blacked out without paying an extra $20k.
