Stock bikes look the same as other stock bikes, so i dont see why people get upset with what they call "cookie cutter" bobbers

tg113907, the guys doing the cookie cutters/ bobber look on it as an art form. The best form of praise is if some one copies your style and a lot of these look the same with minor variations. .........Good to see something really different
The funny thing is that stock bikes don't look the same and any stocker will know the differences when going over another persons stocker

...true...so long as someones bike isnt dangerous to me i dont really care what is done to it, theyve got to ride it, i dont have to like it

...i can and do however like to spot if and what has been done or changed and how-why? you never know when you could use that idea or something similar yourself or for someone else...not all changes are cosmetic in nature
