Sorry dude, but you might want to take the description of 'Bobber' out of the title. Because if it was a 'Bobber' project you'd be taken half of the crap off the bike....it's about removing excess items and making it more minimalist....not adding as many accessories as one can. But hey, there is nothing wrong with your bike, just what you think it is.
Actually in the true "old school" bobber refers to bobbing the rear fender. Bobbers also tend to have a solo seat and are often hardtail. What you are describing is chopping. A chopper is made when you remove (chop) as much excess stuff as you can. Choppers were often 2 seaters and most rake out the front. Of course many choppers are also bobbers because they also trim the fenders.
Looks like a stock Rebel......not bobbed at all....
