Bobber History
A '''Bobber''' is a style of custom motorcycle] that took shape in the 1950s and continues to be built today. Bobbers are related to [[choppers]] in that they both represent a minimalistic approach where everything is stripped from a bike that is not readily needed. This includes the characteristic rigid frame and shortened ("bobbed") rear fender.
The principle difference between bobbers and choppers is that bobbers are typically built around unmodified frames while chopper frames are often cut and welded into shape. They also often lack most of the chopper's asthetic characteristics such as chromed parts and enlongated forks. Thus, bobbers are fairly easy to create from stock motorcycles and are generally handbuilt.
