Bobber

Custom Bobbers: Details of motorcycle workshops and bike builders that have expertise in building vintage, classic, neo-retro, and custom bobber motorcycles. Since the inception of the stripped-back custom Bobber (bob-job motorcycle) in the 1930s, the bobber has evolved into a distinct custom style.

While each and every bobber has its own unique finish, everything from the murdered-out to gleaming chrome jobs, slim refined European twins or muscular American big-V-twins, the silhouette of the custom bobber remains (for the most part) immediately recognisable.

With a more aggressive stance than a cruiser, yet more laid back than a café racer, custom bobbers remain infinitely appealing.
