Accessories for INDIAN CHIEF BOBBER

Accessories for the Indian Chief Bobber

The Indian Chief Bobber is a custom motorcycle suited to relaxed road rides, weekend outings and getting around town. Those uses draw attention to the parts you interact with throughout a ride: where your feet rest, how your fingers meet the levers and what you can see behind you. Accessorising this bike is as much about those everyday details as it is about retaining its distinctive bobber style.

What riders usually fit to the Indian Chief Bobber

• Footpegs: on an unhurried road ride, your feet can spend long periods in the same position. The shape and size of the supporting surface therefore deserve attention alongside the finish. For a Chief Bobber used for leisurely outings, consider how your riding boots sit on the pegs: the contact underfoot matters just as much as how the accessory complements the custom look.
• Levers: junctions, queues and low-speed manoeuvres mean more frequent use of the controls than a clear stretch of open road. If your Chief Bobber regularly takes you through town, the lever shape and the way your gloved fingers sit against it are useful points to focus on. This is a chance to address a frequently used contact point while personalising the bike’s appearance.
• Mirrors: these contribute to a custom bike’s silhouette, but the rearward view matters when moving between lanes or preparing to overtake. On the Chief Bobber, balance the appearance of the mirrors with what you can see from your riding position. A more understated outline should not be the only consideration, particularly when your routes include busy urban roads.

For predominantly urban riding, give levers and mirrors particular attention. If longer weekend rides are your main use for the Chief Bobber, make foot support a higher priority.
