I'm getting into the bike scene especially into bobbers can anyone point me to a forum or DIY site? I'm getting a shadow just like this one. Any help would be much appreciate.
Did you have to actually chop any parts to get it like this??? I like how it looks low with the small spring seat and rear fender. Did you do anything to those parts of the bike to make it look lower? Or did you just switch the stock fender and seat for those? thanks brother
nice bike man. did you cut that rear fender from the stock or aftermarket? also is it still a soft tail or did you have to weld it? i like the look of a low tight fender but i wan't to keep the suspinsion. roads kinda suck here in chicago
great bike man im thinking of getting a bobber but dont really know which one, maybe a yamaha virago 535 but yours look badass! sounds like a real bike should sound too ;)
im just getting into bikes, is it better build my own bobber or is it better to buy it already made?? If i have to buy one around how much am i looking to spend on something like this??
I think part of the fun is creating your own Mad Max machine that no one else has. If you dont have the means to make something, try Craigslist- keep the price under 3 grand.
Build your own. It's way better to be able to say "Yeah I built this rig with my own two hands." For a first build, I think the VT600 is a great way to go. Fairly inexpensive, very nice looking lines, and the aftermarket is huge for these bikes. You should be able to find a pretty decent VT600 (or something similar) for $2000 to $2500. Good luck and have fun!
dude that bike is sick! Ive been looking into getting a new bike. kept on looking for something new and everyone was talking down the shadow but that mod work is inspiring me man.
Anything you can do to offer help,advice, tips, what did it cost to get the bike into that sick of form?
Yah, learn how to work metal. Cut, grind, weld, drill, bolt- or make friends with someone who does. It doesnt cost much to do what I did to my bike, It just took alot of time
@hondachopshop hi mate just got me learners for the bike... id love a bobber.. my only concern is my height... 6'2...... what height are you at brother? Cheers mate.
@hondachopshop hey i got a 2000 honda shadow and i chopped mine into a bobber and i just cut the pipes right before the mufflers on mine..and i had the carbs rejetted for the modded exhaust...it no longer backfires when ya let off the gas cause of the new jet settings and the bike sounds great!...got the loudest bike in my town...and iam competing with 1200cc harleys with drag pipes!!!...lol
great bike man, good style. lookin' at building one of these. i'm 6'3 and wondering if i would look like an ape on one of these bikes, how tall are you?

@mulletstud same problem here, forget how you look on it, just ride it with style (one handed with bad back-posture) nice bike by the way, but ur wife is gonna kick ur ass for driving it on the lawn.. :)
hi, love how u customized the bike man, looks amazing. I have a question I just got my motorcycle licence and I want to get like a beginners bike, u know something to start riding BUT i also want one so later on I can customize it, have any ideas, appreciate the help
@heli82 Just get 2 bikes. The last thing you want is a bike sitting in the garage in parts while its a beautiful day outside. I would buy w/e bike you want to start on, and then I would find a cheap bike that has issues running, get it running ok then start doing whatever with it.
@heli82 Generally its cc size that you look at. When you are starting you would generally go with a smaller cc bike, that way you have less torque and hp to mess up with. 600 is kinda the standard size, so anything under that people feel are beginner bikes. Obviously each bike is different, but if you want like a crotch rocket the tons of people start on the ninja 250, and Honda makes a cruiser type bike called that rebel thats a 250. The main thing is dont get a 800 pound 1100cc bike.
man, i am about to buy a 2001 ACE 750 shadow nd I want it to look just like this, i think the hondas are great to Bob. How do I go about this exactly? whatre the steps? did you follow a guide or example? You said it was pretty low budget. Looks great man!
what kind of back fork would you recommend for a bobber style on the vt 500. i just bought one .. really like the stretched back fork look.. what did you do to the drive shaft to get the extension???any help is appreciated! thanks..
@ziontific1978 The VLX shown is a chain final drive, and is a 4 speed. Your VT500 (I'm assuming is about an '85 model) is a shaft final drive. Trying to do alot of chassis mods on a VT500 will be a challenge. However, the extra gears that the VT500 has will be a nice plus. You'll get alot more performance, especially with speed. Additionally, it has a different rear suspension, springs v/s a softail configuration that is on the VLX. Take your time with your build & avoid shortcuts. Good Luck!
OK...So when are you going to quit fucking around and get yourself a real bike? It looks like a Harley and kinda sounds like one, but it isn't one! If you're on a tight budget, then why are you wasting money on this shit? I'm only kidding with you, it isn't that bad for a honda!
@Billyhadley1965yeah that is true but i realized looking threw previous post people already asked him these question and he answered them and tired of asking the same question over and over again
FUCK MAN y duz every honda bobber gotta b a "rat rod" dude its a bobber no fuckin rat rod in sight...its offensive even callin a foreign make a rat rod
Sick bike. One of my favorite bobbers here on youtube, I check this video out quite a bit. How much did you spend converting your bike? There's one for sale around here and I want to pretty much copy your whole style on the bike haha not ashamed to say it. Well like I said sick bike, great work man.
I had a 99 Honda Shadow VLX 600 and Im kicking my ass for selling it now. What a great project it would have been. Wanted a bigger bike and thought I could get a new one right away. Damn banks. Sounds awesome man. Great Job!!
NICE BIKE BUDDY.i ALWAYS LIKE MOTORCYCLES. 1 MONTH AGO I BUT A HONDA REBEL09 AND LAST WEEKEND I BOUGHT A YAMAHA VSTAR AND I'M TRYING TO GET SOME IDEAS
whatssup man beutiful bobber bro.......i just got a allstock 535 yamaha virago ........fixn to bob it up got a lot to do to it........bars pipes paint exhaust chopp fenders and all that good stuff......beutiful man its gonna take me about the same ammoujnt time to workin hard savin up money and tryin to pay tha billz........good shiit bro
that's because it's not a stock tank. You can have them made, or you can order them like that. Honda does do custom parts. There's a honda shop just 20 miles from my house. They will actually do custom work to your honda if you request it, and can pay for it.
Nice shadow, but i've got an odd question, just curious to know where you got your helmet and if its a thin vintage style and not the big bulky kind, from the video it looks thin and vintage and thats the style im look'n for...
Tank is standard. I spent about 2000 bucks on the entire project, including the cost of the bike (it was wrecked for 300 bucks) neede tires, wheel, forks, headlight- all from a salvage yard
Go to Delphi forums and look up the VLX forum. Great folks and bikes there that will help you with all the info you need to get your bike up and running. We like doing the mods too. Lot's of bobbers. :-)
do you know about helmets? Can you tell me what is the most waterproof full face motorcycle helmet that I can buy? I'm not afraid to look silly, either as long as it's waterproof. (leak proof)...right now, I'm looking at the Bell Powersports Zephyr Full-Face...someone claims that it's leak proof or close to it
get the helmet that you want, and then you can go to autozone or a place like that, there's a liquid that they sell for the windshield that repels the water just like you want
Looks great. i did this very mod for a guy acclaimed at the NY Motorcycle Show (Javits Center NYC) in1996. Work done at SD Cycles he painted the bike candy purple. we call that a digger fender. Solid mounted mudcatcher articulates with the swing arm. The rider enjoys the benefit of the shocks (in this case underslung softail style) while the pillion passenger rides a very active rigid option. I'll dig up some pics if anyone is interested. English Don, NYC-UK

Amazing. Is the tank standard? How much did you spend?
Tks

Tank is standard. I spent about 2000 bucks on the entire project, including the cost of the bike (it was wrecked for 300 bucks) neede tires, wheel, forks, headlight- all from a salvage yard

Go to Delphi forums and look up the VLX forum. Great folks and bikes there that will help you with all the info you need to get your bike up and running. We like doing the mods too. Lot's of bobbers. :-)

Any bike novelty shop. Not a DOT helmet. If that matters to ya. D&D Outfitters carries them.

do you know about helmets? Can you tell me what is the most waterproof full face motorcycle helmet that I can buy? I'm not afraid to look silly, either as long as it's waterproof. (leak proof)...right now, I'm looking at the Bell Powersports Zephyr Full-Face...someone claims that it's leak proof or close to it

get the helmet that you want, and then you can go to autozone or a place like that, there's a liquid that they sell for the windshield that repels the water just like you want

I was just wondering, Can you purchase weld on rear frame sections for these? If so, where do you get them?
Thanks

Looks great. i did this very mod for a guy acclaimed at the NY Motorcycle Show (Javits Center NYC) in1996. Work done at SD Cycles he painted the bike candy purple. we call that a digger fender. Solid mounted mudcatcher articulates with the swing arm. The rider enjoys the benefit of the shocks (in this case underslung softail style) while the pillion passenger rides a very active rigid option. I'll dig up some pics if anyone is interested.
