Here's my take on it... if non H-D's count! I created this bike last winter and it actually won a show this summer. I say created because all I really did was cut a bunch of stuff off and paint it. No real "building" per say... which to me is what a "Bobber" is.... bobbing stuff off.



I documented the transformation. If anyone is interested follow the link below.

I'd go with the second one as well. I don't know if it's a Bobber in the true sense of the word but it looks it to me. I like it too.

 

All 3 of the bikes are bobbers, as in bobbing = chunk the junk.

I reckon the original term came from "bobbing" (shortening) the fender(s), and grew to encompass getting rid of the unnecessary junk that added weight.

A bobber is the antithesis of a garbarge barge!

Or as one ol' boy says about my Sloptail, "Son, that's the devil's bike - it looks like hell!

 

I like #2 as well... But I think that is more a function of the color of the bike.. I am not a fan of the paint job on #1.

To me a bobber should be all one color. But I am weird that way.

One of my favorite OCC bikes was the Senior Series Bobber... I thought that was a great looking bike.

 

#1 would be considered more of a true bobber if the front fender was pulled off. Gotta love those Panheads. Not sure about #2 with that big front wheel/tire. They're both beautiful bikes and are definitely more bobber than a lot of what the custom builders are doing. Don't think the FXR in #3 quite qualifies, to the purists anyway.

 

I thought Loren was a CHOPPER"
