Bobbers gained popularity in the USA between the 1940s and the 1950s, when World War II veterans started to customize their bikes to make them similar to the lighter models they had seen in Europe. Di Ferro’s Bobbers trade windshield and accessories for a shorter rear fender and extra-large tires, for a stark style that is all about speed.
