Thanks, it's pretty hard core. There is nothing on the bike that doesn't make it lighter or faster. There are no gauges, is no battery, no turn signals, etc.

I can't stand the modern, OCC-type, sparkling Easter egg billet bikes that have become popular these days. Other bikers are starting to feel the same way. Bobbers are becoming popular again, so parts and frames that help create them are abundant.

The Trump has a David Bird frame, a rear 16" HD rim laced with stainless steel spokes to a Triumph hub, the font is an 18" Triumph rim and hub re-laced with SS spokes, the fork is Triumph lowered 2", a Boyer electronic ignition with a Boyer Power box, 7 plate clutch, etc, etc.

So, if you want to build a bobber, just junk the soft tail, get a weld on hardtail or a full frame, start chucking parts you don't need to make it run, and stay away from billet parts, skulls, and other crap.
