Check out my bobber!
Why's it a bobber?
Cause I removed the signals and took off the front fender.

 

[16VGTIDave]

No, no, no! That would be a tracker. To be a bobber, they'd ALSO have to remove the rear shocks and replace them with tubing cut out of a bicycle frame. And replace the seat with the bicycle seat...

Flag it for "best of!"

Hi all. I want to convert my 400 into a hardtail bobber. Problem is, Ive never done one before. Im 6'2" so the conversion has got to suit my height. Any ideas??????

What's a bobber?

 

[16VGTIDave]

Kinda like a 1930's Harley, but not really. No rear suspension and a spring loaded seat. I think they call it a bobber because your head bobbles around like your neck was a spring every time you hit a bump...

 

[xschris]

Bobber mean that the bike has been bobbed or parts removed/cut to save weight. At least that's what I have always been told. A chopper gets the hard-tail because the frame has been chopped.

 

[16VGTIDave]

Heh. So you are suggesting that my bike is a "chopper" because the frame has been cut up? I don't have a hard-tail... Maybe I should have taken that $25 course...

 

[xschris]

I think what you have is a frankenbike. Two different bikes put together.
