Another vote for the duals. The 07 is FI (edit: its carb I was corrected in next post) with the fuel adjustments already done (air cleaner + pipes). IMO Offer $5,900 to $6,000 on this one because of the paint chips.

The 06 bobber/prostreet is stuck in that style and the wide tire (280 mm) will not handle that well. I'm not a fan of the chain final either. The wheels are nice



I thought FI started in '07...

Couldn't I slap some Doolies and a BadDad Fender/ExtendedBags Kit on the 06 Bobber?
And while we're at why not some apes?

I like the Stage IV Speedkit on it, and the rims... I'm not sure either what to think about the chain (pros and cons would be great, anyone?)
and what if I downsized to a 250 size tire, that should let me keep ridng the twisties, right?

Here's a price run-down on a 280 Kit:
FENDER $289.95
BMS STRUT MOD. $299.95
BMS SWINGARM MOD. W/EXCH $899.95
BMS ADJ LOWERING KIT $199.95
RC REAR RIM $1650.95
METZLER 280 TIRE $280.95
RC PULLEY (REAR) $529.95
BMS PULLEY SPACER (FRONT) $149.95
========================
TOTAL WARRIOR 280 KIT $4,351.60

I cast my vote for the doolies! The bobber isn't my cup 'a tea.

Another vote for the dualed scoot. I hate chain drives. Noisy and very messy... One BIG reason I went with the roadie was the belt drive.

IMHO, I would keep lookin, don't care for bobbers and the 07 has enough paint flaws to make ya wonder what the real story is.
