just do a little research and you'll be able to make the right decision. if you want a bobber style bike and dont want to do a whole lot of modifications get a nightster cuz its gonna be a huge pain in the *** to make a sportster custom or low and make it into a bobber. much more so than if you were to buy a nighty and go from there.
It is a great time to buy a used bike. I know where a limited edition Nightster is for $8500, a 09 I think. Beautiful, with no miles to speak of.
You can get a double seat from several manufacturers. I like Mustang seats, they are comfortable. And you can even change the tank if you want on with a larger capacity of just the better look. Pegs are easy to add, the custom possibilities are endless.
