This is our bobber we built over the winter. It turned out just like I imagined it.

  • That is really nice. Do you have any pictures of this bike as you were modifying it. I have an 83 honda shadow as well and this video is giving me the inspiration to do something similar. What tank is that off of? What seat is that?....Thanks

  • @BrianPay3 I don't have any progress pics or vids. That was a mistake on my part. The tank is a sportster tank. I had to cut off the twin backbone of the frame and weld in a single backbone so the tank would fit right. I welded in a couple of wishbones from the backbone to the swingarm to complete the frame and give some place to support the seat.

  • Good lookin bobber, man!

  • @draywanda Thanks

  • also have you adjusted the suspension or is that stock hight? very nice bike

  • @docterelliott No, I lowered the bike in the front and the rear. I also raked the front end out.

  • Ive had mine bobbed out for a few months now and Im pretty happy with it except for the tank. the whole bike is slender except for that damn 3.5 gallon tank! thanks for letting us know it is possible to get a sporty tank on there lol

  • nice stickers

  • handle bars are totally shit, put them back on your grand mothers bicycle!

  • @BrianPay3 that tank looks like an HD sportster tank...

  • Stickers ruin the bike

  • did you paint the engine your self? The bike looks sick.
