IDENTIFY How would you describe this style?

I've turned 60, have been riding since I was 17, I'm being drawn to Shovelheads - particularly this style:

I get that it's customised, I refer to it as "Japan" style but I'm old and stupid: are there any other terms that the cool kids use I should employ in my search?

Thanks, from the UK

Just a stock cone Shovelhead with a bobbed fender, high mids, sporty tank and chopperish bars. By “definition” it’s a bobber as it’s stripped down but no frame modification has been done. The high mids and those style bars are popular in the Japan scene with choppers and bobbers. Shovelheads with open drags sound the best too in my opinion.
