Any Harley guys?

Hey guys, looking to get another bike in the spring. Any harley guys in here. Ideally would like a street bob, but am also looking a sportster Bobbers as i like that stripped down look. would I regret going with somethin like the 48 or iron instead of the street bob?? I just dont like that price tag.

And if you got a bike dont be afraid to post a pic.

Been riding for many years, also wrenched for several years. I personally like bobbers but cant stand retro motors, i like a shovel or a knuckle on a bobber, but the knuckle requires some mechanical skillz. I sold my iron head and my shovel last year, i have a 96 soft tail i am considering selling, its stripped down with fatboy tins and sicn apes. Been sitting a few years and needs some TLC but this bike screamzzzzzzz

I really admire the free spirit and individualism that Harley Davidson represents. Once my wife approves I'm sure I'll get one.

Didnt need to, because its a softail with the fat boy tins, the rake was perfect with the 18's beleive it or not they sit lower on your shoulders then they look. I had my should re attached and these dont kill at all.
