Bobber fender

Do bobbers have front fenders?

Typically, bobber-style motorcycles have shorter or removed front fenders, which is part of the signature stripped-down, minimalist look of the bobber style.

However, some bobber builds may include small front fenders for practical reasons such as protecting the rider from debris or rain.

The presence of a front fender on a bobber can vary greatly, as the style is highly customizable and can be tailored to the individual builder's preferences.

Why install a bobber rear fender? 

There are several reasons why someone might want to fit a rear mudguard to a bobber:

• Aesthetics: Some people like the look of a rear fender on a bobber, as it can give the bike a more stylish and polished look.
• Functionality: In addition to protecting the motorbike and passengers, a rear fender can also add storage space for items such as panniers or luggage racks.

How to choose a rear fender for a bobber bike?
