Im looking for a bike to make a bobber out of.I was kinda thinking a stripped down Goldwing would be cool,but dont really want a 800 lb behemoth.

Those bikes do make cool bobbers. They also sound really good with some exhaust work. I just missed a custom model the other day, for $500.00.  There was a guy on the way all ready when I called about it. An old man had it, and had not ridden it in years, but it looked like new in the pictures.

Nevermind! I totally forgot they were liquid cooled...off the list.I was willing to let the Goldwing slide only because of the 1100 cc's.    Im leaning toward another cb really    though i might have to check out that gs tomorrow
