a bobber is mostly just a cutdown, removing stuff you don't need E-start, turnsignals, front fender, cleaning up the frame by removing extra tabs ect. chopper the frame is usually cut and raked or stretched foot controls moved forward, high handlebars, custom paint

I second that Irish, bookmarked a bunch of 650 bobbers pics from 650's.com website.

Your bike is one of them and one of my favorites, did you rake the neck also.

Nice job.
