  • I have dvds for sale of a bobber build I recently completed. The dvd is 1hr 30mins of high quality video and shows step by step how to turn a stock 99' and up VLX into a bobber. If your interested you can email me at caraholic86@gmail.com
    This is a video of my 2004 Honda Shadow VLX 600 bobber build. The sub frame was cut, the bike was lowered with a hard tail strut, carb jetted, wheels powder coated, shinko 777 white wall tires, 8" Z bars, spring solo seat.

    The Shadow seems to be a really good base to make a bobber. Planning on doing it myself too and this is the easy way to do it. Thanks for sharing this build!! Ride on 🤘🤘

    I like that you kept the stock tank it has good mpg range for a 600. The Z-bars ,seat
    and white wall tires are classic must haves on a bobber. Kudos on job well done.

      people like me who think "bobbers" are stupid looking. The worst is when someone takes a beautiful vintage early 80's honda and turns it into a bobber... I just don't get it.

    I've gone from riding cruiser to riding sports (had no end of trouble with every cruiser I've had) but watching this video makes me think I made a mistake!I love whitewall tyres and there's nothing that comes close to the looks of a v-twin.

    My bike was done the EXACT same way except it's a 96 so it's a drive line, and I hate how narrow the front fender looked on the rear so I chopped the original rear fender up and made welded it to the swing arm considering mines still a soft tail. Nice build man

    I took the carb off to clean it and I can't seem to correctly connect all the tubes back up.
    I did the throttle cables which was no big deal. However, there's something I'm doing wrong with the hoses. Can you please tell me where each hose connect to?
    If you can that would be greatly appreciated. I mean there's only like what 8 of them in all?
