This is a custom built, 1927 Harley Davidson JD Bobber. This custom Bobber was built in the early 90’s to be a faithful rider in the West Coast AMCA Road Runs and that it was! The original 1927 Harley JD was customized by an elderly gearhead, car builder, for his personal enjoyment. The engine was built by a knowledgeable Harley JD builder, and it is stout! This Bobber has been in controlled storage for the last 20 years or so and is now offered for sale from the original owner’s family. This motorcycle famously completed many Borrego Springs Winter Road Runs and the Death Vally Road Run in the mid 1990’s. This bike has undergone a complete service and is ready for the next ride. A complete detail would assist it for the next show!
