The only thing I hate about the vlx is that its a 4 speed. Why honda made it a 4 speed is beyond me. I mean even the itty bitty rebel has a 5 speed i mean come on honda wtf?
looks damn good man! You did a fine job. Have a look at mine (suzuki not Honda). I did all the work myself also. Question does the black carrying thing on the front of your bike help deflect rain? Im thinking I may put the front fender back on because in the rain it sucks, but it looks so much better with it off.
@ElectricTN the fork bag does help some and its a great place to put your tool bag... which by the way I dont think Honda puts tool bags on there new bikes anymore. yea the front fender is the way to go for sure unless you care more about weight reduction or looks.
nice bike dude! great job you did! I'm actually making some straight bars like yours as we speak, I'm spraying them and i will put it on tonight, So excited!!! come by check out my build!! again great job!
Is that rear fender the West Eagle kit? Those look great but aern't cheep. If not, can you tell me how you made the mount to connect it to the swingarm? Thanks.
cherry , i got mine all mocked up but the pipes i used are chopped up from the original and one is smaller diameter than the other ,, is yours that way too?
@randylucky ok , id like to fab the rear to match the front as the narrow pipe has more backpressure and is hotter with the cross over removed , i pulled the overfill bottle from the bottom to make room for the wires , how much did you pay for the original bike ? best bike for a bad ass cheap chop 4 sure
@AlienUFOEncounters 1000 for the bike with a carb rebuild and a rejet.... it had 8000 miles on it and wouldnt run for nothing.. All the jets were clogged from years of sitting around. About 9 out of 10 bikes i come across that need work its because the carbs are junked up.
Sweet ride man, considering doing one of these myself.. How much did you take out of the frame? Is it necessary to chop the frame? Love what you have done with the rear fender so it can take two up - adds something different.

@randylucky m8 the back fender is steel ?? did you make it ? beacuse i want to make my shadow bobber but i want a passanger seat at back
MrKaizoku21 9 months ago
Its quite easy to do and depending if you want to run trailer fender on the back you have to cut the frame. I used a sawzaw and welded up the ends.
