The seller offers for sale this Harley-Davidson Shovelhead Bobber from 1975, a custom-built motorcycle featuring a 1340cc, 2-cylinder petrol engine paired with a manual transmission. This bobber stands out with its hardtail frame, springer front end and open belt drive, creating a pure and minimalist riding experience.
