OberBobber
Just got it firing!
Hi all,
I am a new rider, in the process of completing my motorcycle training, and I am seriously considering getting a V9 Bobber. I am mainly going to use it to scoot around town or for some mind-clearing rides, away from the motorway.
In addition to the style of V9 Bobber, the shaft drive was the one that piqued my interest. Since I'll be riding mainly for leisure, and the fact that I live in an apartment, I'd love nothing more than to spend less time - and money - in maintaining the bike chain.
I'd love to hear your thoughts on the following:
For reference, I'm 40 years old, weigh 190 pounds and have a 32-inch inseam.
If you have any other words of wisdom for me, I'm all ears.
Cheers!

I'd love to hear your thoughts on the following:
- Engine guard. I'd much rather have it than not. I see the Givi TN8202, however, are there other options as well?
- Headlamp. I don't mind the present light, but if it comes to it, I could switch over to an LED. What all do I need to consider when making the switch? I have literally zero knowledge about circuits.
- Horn. Is there room enough to fit a Denali Soundbomb?
- Twin headlamps. I have a thing for these. Maybe further down the line... but has anyone considered this for their bike? Is it as simple as buying a second headlamp assembly, plus a relay, or is there more to it?
- Exhaust. Again, further down the line. I quite like the Agostini. Would I need to make any other changes to the bike to cater to the exhaust?
