Back in the day there were Choppers and Bobbers...Choppers were long and flashy and bobbers were stripped down big twins with anything that didn't make it handle better or go faster removed or drilled out to make it lighter...The front fender was often taken off and the rear was "bobbed" (cut short)...Later

Unfortunately much of what makes a bobber a bobber is required on new motorcycles. Stuff like turn signals, mirrors, fenders, reflectors, mufflers, etc. The Street Bob is as close as you can get in a factory Harley.
