Default Bobber Frames

Hey everyone,

I just recently started riding again. Had some surgery on my knees and couldnt do much riding or much of any type of anything haha. ok, so im looking at buying a bobber frame, maybe a rigid, rolling chasis. I have seen some sites that have amazing rolling chasis, but are just extremely overpriced, and then other ones that dont look so good but are priced farily reasonable. I have a 99 XL 1200 Custom Sportster i love the bike, but i just want it on a different frame and i have always loved the bobber style bikes, like the old triumph german bikes, i think they look so cool. Anyone have any recomendations on any sites or know where i should start looking? Thanks for the help.

Hey Frank have you checked the Flyrite frames and rollers? They make some nice stuff and fairly reasonable $ wise too. Here's a link: Flyrite Sporster frames & rollers scroll about halfway down the page.
