Like the name implies, Trail Bob melds a bobber with a trail bike on a Sportster platform for the Custom Kings competition. As Southside Harley-Davidson tells it:
“Built on the foundation of simple yet functional, this 48-based custom stays true to its roots. With the attitude of a post-war bobber and the functionality of a trail machine, it's equally at home cruising the city streets or carving up the gravel back roads. To accentuate the styling, special attention was focused on trimming down and streamlining all of the unsightly necessities that are generally associated with ABS, fuel injection, hands-free security, and key-less ignition systems. From its stout riding position and high-riding exhaust to its aggressive dual-sport tires, this go-anywhere Sportster means business in any environment. From all of us at Southside Harley-Davidson, we proudly present the 2016 Harley-Davidson Trail Bob.”
