The reason for the carb conversion is to minimize the wires since a bobber is all about the simplicity, not to mention tree would be no where to put all the extra wires from thee stock setup.
although a buell is a badass bike thus the reason I own one something about having a bike that evn fewer people own and one that looks completely different than any other for a fraction of the price is why I looked into one. As far as a donor bike that was the biggest reason I didn't want to do the conversion I hated to think about ripping apart my bike being pefectly good. So I was going to sell mine and buy one already done to save time and money. It would be cool to say you built your own bike but I have modified so many cars and trucks that i didnt care about spending all the extra money to just be able to say "I built it."
Although you can find them on eBay done and but one of those them personalize it along with keeping your own bike.
