Transforming a bike into a bobber

Transforming a bike into a bobber


A bobber is a bike that has undergone a transformation by removing extra parts for simplicity and reducing its weight. Before starting the transformation process, you should consider your budget.

The transformation will come at a cost; hence you need to budget for different parts and the base motorcycle if you don’t have one. It is essential to decide how much time and money you are willing to spend on the project before it begins. Your budget will dictate whether you will do all the work yourself or hire a professional to help.

So how do you transform a bike into a bobber?

1. Choose the parts

The first thing to do is to choose the parts you are going to keep, the parts you are going to remove, and the parts to be replaced. Some elements can be removed and then replaced with lighter and well-customized replacements. Consult your mechanic or friends and family who have better knowledge on the transformation of bikes and customizing them.

2. Handle the bobber frame

The frame is a crucial component when it comes to the parts of a bobber. Ensure the structure is well built and comfortable to handle. Depending on what motorcycle you choose to customize, a hardtail section may be available 'off the shelf as a bolt-on or weld-on section.

3. Modification to convert the front end of bobber build

There are several ways you can modify the front. For instance, you can remove the reflectors and install a low-profile, small turn signal. You can also decide to remove them altogether. However, consult about it to get other options.

4. Wheels

Depending on the type of bike you are transforming, you can build your wheels or use the bike's original wheels.

5. Custom gas tank

Gas tanks and fenders are critical components to the structure of your bobber. Therefore, look for a gas tank that matches your new style. A tank made specifically to fit your make and model.

How do You Restore an Old Motorcycle?

Motorcycles are a great way to get out and enjoy the open road. Whether riding with your friends or on a solo ride, motorcycles are always an exhilarating experience. But unfortunately, as time goes by, most bikes will start to show their age in one form or another. The paint might peel off the bike frame and fuel tank while scratches and dents accumulate on the body panels and handlebars. Before long, it can be difficult for even the owner of a new motorcycle to tell that this is not just any old junker but actually something special worth preserving for years into the future. Motorcycles can be a lot of fun, but they can also be a lot of work. One of the most important things you can do to keep your bike running well is regularly clean it.
