china bobber talk

**jers** · 06-08-2011, 10:17 AM

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)

4.) unik bobber - unk GS52
pros - vintage looks
cons - no reviews what so ever, very few info about this bike

5.) kikker hardknock
pros - old school, hand shift, springer front end, extremely fun to customize
cons - need a few modifications to perform better

These bikes are a blank canvas for custom bike builders. I'm having a great time with my Heist!

UPDATE - anyone here from the philippines i just found out that the barhog (regal raptor) was already available here, i went to their showroom as soon as i notice, it's pretty nice but just the footpeg a little far to reach for shorter asian size. it retails @ 250,000pesos the one and only complete factory manufactured/assembled bobber currently available here. wow at last.
