As the title says really.

I'm after some inspiration and to see how creative some of these bobber/ chops rear tails can get.

;D
 
What are you looking for? Bobbed fenders? Hardtails? Sissy bars? Vague questions won't get specific responses.


Also.... this isn't a bobber/chopper site, it's a cafe site. Might have better luck if you check into Jockey Journal or ChopCult.
 
I'm after pictures of people's rear ends. In particular hard tail bobbers.

I understand this is a cafe site but I did post my thread in the Bob and chop section, there's a few posts in these areas so thought we may have some users willing to put up some photos of the rear if their bikes. the traffic and quickness of responses on here is good, I am a member on the other sites and responses take a while.
 
Dead rear shots so you see tyre width, light and number plate set up, maybe a bit of fender depending on its length.
 
"bobber" was never meant to be used to describe a hardtail bike..... "bobbing" meant removing all parts not necessary for function of the motorcycle and slimming down parts that still need to be there such as fenders. rear suspension is retained. hardtails are "choppers", the term is literal coming from the act of actually chopping up the frame to weld on tubing in a hardtail format. At fast glance the two parked next to each other will have very similar style, the difference being suspension.....which is why the terms have gotten to be used almost one-in-the-same.

I've digressed a bit, and don't mean this as a "YOU'RE WRONG SIR! HOW DARE YOU"....just information/knowledge.

to stay on topic, I'll post a pic of two choppers I made.

this is a drop-seat build. It has 4" of drop at the backbone, 4" of stretch and 2" of drop at the axle. Hands down, one of my favorite bikes out of all the ones I've built. Absolute blast to ride, I traded it to my tattoo artist for ink work.

this was a really simple chop. it's an XS850 so it is shaft drive, two tubes from the backbone to the shock mount points on the swingarm and seat mounts was all it took. this bike really boogies and can be hard to hang on.
 
Here's two I've done. Scratch built.

WOW thanks for the pictures guys. Keep them coming.

Some nice work there. Getting me motivated and sparking ideas.
 
Yikes, you might want to re-think the design of the rear top shock mounts. There is no strength to that vertical tube above the top frame rails :eek:
