I have an XSR900 and a bobber. The XSR to go for a thrap and the bobber to cruise. You may find a sweet spot with the bobber. They don’t like being pushed too hard. Remember it’s a cruiser. Not a sport bike
I still fancy the XSR900, I agree it would pair well with the Bobber (maybe next year...🤔). I am really enjoying the Bobber, but I agree that pushing it too hard is kinda missing the point. It feels most enjoyable being ridden at 40 or 50% pace.
Oh nice, love the Bobber Black. I find the handlebar position just fine with the forward controls, but having the feet more forward does make you feel a bit more raked out in the upper body, it kinda feels sporty though, rather than uncomfortable👍
So far, I'm finding it really comfortable. The cupping shape is very supportive, I haven't done any really long rides yet, but I don't anticipate any issues with the seat from my initial impressions
Wanna see you backing it in on this.
Lovely bike, but the dog at the end is the real star here
Haha cheers, he's a good boy!

I just got a bobber black and want to get the fwd control kit fitted to it. How is the handle bar positioning with fwd controls?

Latte or flat white when you ride it to the cafe 😂
Indeed! Or a fine English Ale in country pub😉
How tall are you and how comfortable (or not) were the forward controls for you?
I am 6ft 2 inches, so far I find the forward controls really comfortable👍
Thank you!
Seat comfort?
