Are you looking for a old school look with a new custom bike? Have you taken a look at a old school bobber bike? Bobber bikes are distinguished from regular choppers by the way the fenders have been shortened or how the fenders have been removed completely. This is one of the first considerations that a custom builder thinks of when they first start to design their bikes. This unique way of designing bikes is the brain child of returning soldiers from World War II. These returning soldiers found a liking to the light weight motorcycles that were developed in Europe. In order to get this lightweight feeling returning soldier bike makers started stripping down bikes developed in America and removing those parts that were unnecessary and could weight down the bike. Thus, bobber bikes were created.
