The Bobber
The Bobber came before the Chopper when original motorcycles were ‘Bobbed’ to lighten their load and various parts of the ride were removed to achieve this.
The Bobber has its origins in the 1930’s and was an evolution of the 1920’s ‘Cut-down’.
Some of our favourite handlebars for a custom bobber are Beach Bars, Westerns, Buckhorns or Ape Hangers.
