That's about as grotesque as the "factory custom". It goes entirely against the spirt of things. That H-D Street Bob may have taken the "Bobber" style as an influence of design, but that's about it. Maybe that's why it's called a "Bob" and not a "Bobber".

A "Bobber" from what I've read, started in the 40's and is bike which has been stripped of all unnessesary parts and (other than the frame) modified in a personal yet sporty fashion. I'm guessing the term Bobber came from having the fenders cut shorter, or "bobbed". A mass produced bike can't be a true bobber but it can be said to be designed in the bobber style. <br /><br />Cross Bones AficionadoAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
