It's called a "Bobber", from what I've seen these bikes can be bought in a kit form which you build yourself, or from scratch using a custom frame and whatever bits you want.
They mostly all have a retro and minimalist vibe about them which I love. I dont like really showy choppers with bright flames/paint/chrome etc. This style of "chopper" (if you could even call it one), is the nuts.
I first came across this style on a site ran by a friend of my friends dad haha, who both build bikes. You can see the site here, http://www.attitude-customs.co.uk/
Anyway, this is pretty much exactly how i'd like one:




The old school parts like the springer forks, old style spring seat, mesh wheels and minimalist style of it are awesome. Its a cool bike that you'd be able to cruise one, which still looks light and nimble, this one has a 1300cc "evo" Harley engine, so its not gonna be slow either.
I love every part of it. In a few years time i'd love to build one, it wont be me building one though, i'd leave it to my friends dad as he's made some fantastic bikes!!
Cheers
Nice!! That's just what I'm looking to do with my bike.
