Custom Bike Styles - The Bobber

There is just something about bobber that really appeals to me, I am not sure if it's the look or the history behind them. The Bobber is arguably the grand daddy of all custom motorcycles. First seen after the second world war the were created by returning servicement by removing as much as possible from the bike to remove sprung weight and improve performance. At a time when most custom bike builders seemend intent on fitting the widest rear tyre as possible and adding the lognest forks they could find a select few looked around for something different.

This is what sparked the revival of the bobber, all roads aren't straight and bobbers are very functional with good performance and good handling, they might not be perfect for a 1/4 mile dragrace but when the roads get twisty bobbers come into their own.. and they look great!!
