Thinking bobber Sportster--already fallen in love
Hey guys--been shopping for awhile, planning and saving. I've pretty much settled on a Sportster. I've test ridden a few and just can't stop smiling, but I know I'm gonna want to customize, obviously. Recently I've fallen in love with this custom, vintage bobber. I'm sure a lot of you have seen:

I'm trying to plan out something similar, but do my own take on it. I know I can't afford a springer front end right now. Can anybody recommend similar bars? Not even sure what those would be called beyond speedster, which are springer only. I was also looking at the narrow beach bars.
Bigger question: anybody know of a similar tank? The one there is for older Sportsters, and more importantly, discontinued.
Your help and guidance is very much appreciated!

To me they took too much out of the frame to get that oil tank in there. However I can be a bit paranoid.

Wow thanks guys--lots of great replies.
I think the Narrow Beach Bars are the way to go, but I'll be doing the cabling a little differently.
Seems like my biggest obstacle right now is the tank. Any ideas? Know of something similar or maybe some keywords of that style I might try searching for.
Thanks again!
