    hello i love hardtail/bobbers specially more affordable one's but sadly there's no available bobbers here (i'm from manila philippines) so the only way is to chop what we got or import and deal with the registrations in a hardway.
    want to post some pics of bobbers manufactured. feel free to post/add if you have any opnions, ideas, experience of these bobbers.

    1.) pag - barhog (regal raptor, leonart)
    pros - more powerful engine, long wheelbase
    cons - the cooler on the downtube is less likely for bobbers, footpegs are harder to reach for shorter rider and most expensive on the group

    2.) ccw - the heist
    pros - good manufacturer/sales track record, several bolt-on parts and accessories
    cons - lack of optional springer or girder front end to complete the accessories department


    prototype version - with inverted fork and different rear fenders with sparto tail light.


    production - heist

    3.) dong fang - df250rtb
    pros - gooseneck frame with nice seat
    cons - plastic faux oil can, a mustang or sportster style gas tank will looks better (my opinion)

    jers,
    Great idea for a thread.
    Good thread to collect all the available small manufactured bobbers. Just what is available and not details or opinions.
    Web site info would be nice.

    ok here's update and pics of the hk2 with larger frame and 16" wheels other improvements are rise battery box, higher cantle seat helps not sliding your butt, bungee cord on the faux oil tank covers (prevent falling off), internal throttle, black nickel forks, steering lock and more optional parts/accessories like sissy bars, tailights, seats.......but still no 250cc v-twin only 50, 125 and 200.
