Bob-jobs reflected the aesthetic tastes of their owners, and were home-built, there being no commercially produced road-going bob-job available until the late 1990s. The style has also influenced motorcycle manufacturers, such as Harley- Davidson and Honda. In the late 1990s, the term bob-job became shortened in popular parlance to 'bobber', and the style saw a resurgence in popularity in the custom motorcycle scene. The bobber continues to be favored today; although hybrid styles have emerged, such as the "bobber chopper", and "retro- bobber".

Sales were initially slow, but eventually took off. By 1965, several other American and foreign manufacturers were offering their own version of the Sting-Ray.

Selection of UK (top) and US (bottom) fishing floats A fishing float (or bobber in the US) is an item of angling equipment. Usually attached to a fishing line, it can serve several purposes. Firstly, it can suspend the bait at a predetermined depth; secondly, due to its buoyancy, it can carry the baited hook to otherwise inaccessible areas of water by allowing the float to drift in the prevailing current; and thirdly, a float also serves as a visual bite indicator. Fishing with a float is sometimes called float fishing.

In a review for Billboard magazine, Eric Aiese said of "Dream On", "It's hard to remember the last time the group did anything so organic, and 'Dream On' proves to be surprisingly refreshing. The guitar line is a catchy head-bobber, and the minimal melody sounds like a winner". Another review from the same magazine called the track "rock-solid". The song is rated three out of five stars on AllMusic, with reviewer Ned Raggett comparing the composition to works by Timbaland and noting that Dave Gahan's lyrical delivery was "one of his best".

The entire apparatus is suspended below a large bobber. The fish feed on the small particles that are released from the dough ball and will bump against the dough ball, with the intention of breaking off more small particles that can be filtered from the water, eventually becoming hooked on the tiny hooks. In some areas, it is also legal to use "snagging gear" in which large, weighted treble hooks are jerked through the water, to snag the fish. In the United States, silver carp are also popular targets for bowfishermen; they are shot both from the water and from the air.

Silver carp are filter feeders, thus are difficult to catch on typical hook-and-line gear. Special methods have been developed for these fish, the most important being the "suspension method", usually consisting of a large dough ball that disintegrates slowly, surrounded by a nest of tiny hooks embedded in the bait. The entire apparatus is suspended below a large bobber. The fish feed on the small particles released from the dough ball and bump against the dough ball, with the intention of breaking off more small particles that can be filtered from the water, eventually becoming hooked on the tiny hooks.

Note: in this time frame Brother (artist) Johnny Garcia AKA Oso, would draw the two older brothers "Chopper" concepts w/extreme detail. Easyrider re-issued a chopper that had been molded by Chicano Roy and brother David Garcia as they worked out of a motorcycle shop called "Two Broke Tramps" in San Fernando, California. The chopper was epoxy painted by Raja, owner of Chopper Specialties in Orange County, California and assembled by Two Broke Tramps. The Chopper was featured in 1978 then re-issued in Easyrider's 1903-2003 Harley-Davidson's First One Hundred Years History Magazine to represent when Harley-Davidsons were first being ["chopped"] -- customized beyond the "Bobber" look.

In 2017 the XV950SCR (Scrambler) was released and the C Spec model was dropped from the lineup. The Bolt is very well supported by the aftermarket and has proven to be a very customizable platform, lending itself well to the bobber, chopper, rat, and scrambler styles among others. In addition to the large aftermarket companies several smaller companies are also marketing a wide range of parts for these bikes. In most non-US countries, this model is simply referred to as the "Yamaha XV950" and is available as a standard, or the higher spec "R" and "C" models which features ABS brakes and uprated rear shock absorbers.

K. Porter, Inc Steam Locomotive; former BEDT 14; and a 1906 New York, Ontario & Western 4 wheel "Bobber" Caboose #8206].

Soon many parts were being offered by small companies expressly for use in building choppers, not necessarily as performance parts as was common in the Bobber Era. The first famous chopper builders came to prominence in this era, including Arlen Ness who was a leader in the "Frisco" or "Bay Area Chopper" style. Ness's bikes were characterized by having long low frames and highly raked front ends, typically 45 degrees or more, and frequently made use of springer front ends. Many made use of the newer Harley-Davidson Sportster motor, a simpler and more compact "unit motor" that included the transmission in the same housing as the motor itself, which lent itself nicely to Ness's stripped down style.
