    Any known Custom Bobber Shops in Ontario?

    Hello everyone!

    I recently just got back into the riding scene and decided that I'm ready to switch from crotch rockets to a bobber! As much as I want to build one myself I don't have the skills and tools to build one. So if any of you guys know of any shops that would be very much appreciated!

    These are the bikes I'm looking for that hopefully these shops could build for me!

    Check out dotheton.com There are at least a few shops in the GTA turning out some pretty cool bikes.

    Definitely talk to Back Alley Moto. They have been awesome to me and my friends who have cafe racers/bobbers as well as modern bikes.

    Okay wow thanks guys! Also another question. I mainly have my eye on the xs650 made into a bobber. Love the style and the lines. This might be hard to answer but I'm wondering how much back alley moto would charge to build a bobber like in those YouTube videos? I know I should call or visit and find out quotes from them myself but it's just I actually have no idea what I'm expecting to pay! I see bobbers on kijiji for low as $1500 and up to $40000 for the super flashy ones. Would $4000 be an unrealistic guestimate?

    Price will depend on just what you want. You really need to talk to Paul. The level of fit and finish changes the cost dramatically. $4000 is not a bad budget but I would expect a bit more. XS650's are getting harder to find cheap.
