what 2nd hand models make good bases for such builds?
It depends what you want and how much you want to spend.
At some point, I really want to build a lightweight small engined bobber style rat bike... from something like a Suzuki Savage... which wasn't available in the UK or a 250cc Honda Rebel.
The obvious choices are jap cruisers. Shadow or older Kawa Vulcans - the 750cc I think and they have the advantage of having a soft-tail-like rear so they look a bit more like a "proper" bobber.
Or can get an old oil cooled gsxr or bandit and build a custom hard tail on one of the hard up choppers frames - although I sort of think you're better buying someone else's project.

I'm looking for a type of motorbike but I'm not familiar with them enough to know what it is I'm after. I think it's a bobber, not a Harley, more like a kawa or Yamaha. Simple, flat bar. Any suggestions,!i appreciate this may be something I need to build myself but what 2nd hand models make good bases for such builds?
