Custom 2011 Honda Shadow VT750S Scrambler and Dirt Tracker Motorcycles

Honda had some really neat custom Honda Shadows on display at the motorcycle show. One was painted silver and red and had high chrome pipes, looking like a modern version of the 1967 Honda CL77 Scrambler. It was custom built by Denny Berg for Cobra exhaust pipe company, and the high pipes look great. You can see a full write up and test drive in the February 2011 Rider Magazine. The other was a really nice dirt-track-racer styled Honda Shadow, looking like Bubba Shobert's National Championship Winning Honda RS750 flat tracker. The 2011 Honda Shadow VT750 you can actually buy from the dealer is a nice bike as well, available with the red white and blue gas tank design. The bars are flatter, and the footpegs are higher than the other Shadows, which makes it more of a sporty bike, to compete with Harley Davidson's Sportster. The Shadow VT750 makes 42 horsepower and 45 foot pounds of torque. I like it. It has a sporty classic look, and it's obviously a Honda, with the classic winged logo on the red white and blue tank. I wish Honda would sell the CL77 Scrambler version at the dealership. It's a beautiful retro bike.

My mistake. I looked into these bikes and they're made from the 2010 RS 750 which already has mid controls.

@jasonlajoie The bike was built by Denny Berg. If you do a search on the internet, you can probably find the whole story of the bike. I know I've seen it in magazines.

How did they move the forward controls back?

@jasonlajoie I read an article about this bike, and it looks like a fairly simple custom job, but they did an insane amount of work, cutting and welding to get it to look the way it does.

it is to look like a 1960's scrambler----cl72
