Default Touring Bob?

I have seen all sorts of chopped and bobbed models of every type and model Harley has made. Except I can not remember ever seeing a chopped or bobbed Touring bike. Maybe even a Road King cafe racer. Anyone have a picture of something like that?

That looks better than I even though it would look. Well done sir, I bet you do not see a whole bunch of them every place you stop.

you have to remember most of the original "bobbers" were 40's era FLs, so all were "touring" bikes. returning GI's took off everything not needed for speed, including the hinged back half of the rear fender, hence a bob tail or bobber.
