Bobber choppers are distinguished from regular choppers because their fenders have either been shortened or entirely removed.
Bobber choppers have a long and interesting history. They were the brainchilds of U.S. soldiers who returned home from World War II who found that they had developed a taste for the more lightweight bikes that they had seen in Europe. As war vets reunited after the war they began to form motorcycle clubs. Some of these clubs got very creative and started stripping down bikes to resemble those they saw over the big pond. |
