The forks will be lowered properly instead of slid through the trees, but he doesn't want it raked.
(btw, I am aware that the forks are in the trees backward, the rear wheel is on backward too, was finishing a LATE night and wanted to get it rolling, and wasn't paying attention....lol)

They say there is no such thing as a dumb question. Besides the lack of a front fender and a seat cowl, what differentiates bobbers from cafe racers?

Frame geometry, suspension (or lack thereof)
Cafe racers were to Europe as bobbers were to the US, stripped down, lightweight machines built for speed, Only the people over the pond we're smarter and retained, and often upgraded the suspension, making for a much more agile bike in the twisties.
The bobber was more for straight line speed.
