I think the OP asked to see pics of your sporty bobber not show every part that can be bolted on tied on or strapped to your bike. The term bobber comes after WW 2 when motorcycles were stripped down of factory parts and hand built.
We need a new terminology for today's bikes how about AMPSED for After Market Part Suppliers Erotic Dream.

Its pretty annoying reading all of these "definitions" to a word that is basically a slang term. I looked in Websters Dictionary. Theres nothing in there about a "Bobber" being a motorcycle at all. So you're description of a "Bobber" is just your opinion. Let people post what they consider a "bobber". Just my $0.02.

Not sure if you would call this a bobber, but here is my iron.

Few mods here and there, pipes, controls, tune, bars, seat...

bobbers tend to lean in the "less is more" favor.....
