You at least need a spring seat to use the word "bobber" with this bike.

+1 at least.
A bobber is a bike that's been chopped, stripped of do-dads and made to go fast from here to there...
Usually hardtailed with a spring seat, mini apes, home made pipes with heat wrap etc...
While I love your bike, its not a bobber YET. That being said, its a great start..

Ok like it says in thread in progress with that being said ok maybe it aint a bobber yet and maybe it will never be. I could really give a damn less its mine , been paid for for a while decided to make it truly mine that's why I started fixin it up. It is what it is. And whether the seat is ugly or not I like and it rides good.

Looks really nice and clean...the seat is not to my liking but i'm sure it's comfy, especially on the long rides?
