Not only have you honed your mechanical and bike building skills....your video presentation is always interesting. You inspire others and support them also. Always a pleasure to watch! Be safe brother .
I’ve been so in love with Japanese car culture since I was 17 and was barely able to own a vehicle. Many years later after many Hondas, 370z, s2000 and what not I’ve fallen out of love. I recently discovered bobbers and rode one thus reigniting my love for these mechanical art pieces we use to roam around from place to place. I found this channel and you’ve inspired me to build my own using a shadow platform. Salute amigo.
Last week I pulled my dad's old 2003 Vulcan, after a couple days recharge I got it started. I had taken the seat off and started to move it around in the garage and realized I liked the low seat. I was instantly inspired! I knew I wanted to transform it into a bobber. Today I landed on your channel young man, and I this is the video that inspired me even more. Good for you and your friends, keep doing what you love. I was a boilermaker welder for 17 years and owned a gym the last 7 years on and off until I finally found a great location, following my dream. But I never stopped tinkering, so between my GMC, and now an old 98 Land Rover Disco I just bought, the bike is going to be a full strip, and just waiting on my new mig/tig/stick welder. Thank you for putting out great content, you now have an old welder/strength and conditioning coach following you! Don't stop brother, keep that content comin!
Late comment on this post, but thank you. I am in the middle of cleaning up my old bike and watching this gave me more confidence in my ability to successfully complete this build.
Never been a fan of Sissy bars but the last couple of years I've really been getting into them. They can be awesome customized and it gives you a place to put your Taillights, Rear turn signals and license plate and it gives you a natural 2nd mounting point for your rear fender. I just started on a 2010 250 Rebel for my daughters first bike and I'm going to make a sissy bar for it. Were doing the bike in a retro 1970's vibe, White paint with Brown, Orange and Yellow stripes with a VHT Burnt Copper frame and all the chrome will be painted Brunt Copper as well with the engine and exhaust painted Burnt Copper as well. The brown paint on the engine is a test run for a build I have in mind. I'm testing the stove paint to see if it works because my next build after that is going to be a complete retro bike painted white with an Avocado Green engine, Nothing says 1970's throw back like an Avocado green stove and refridgerator.
Bro you have inspired me to start my own build! I have a shadow too, but after watching your videos I finally have the courage to buy a welder and start learning some skills I’ll have for the rest of my life. Thanks man your Chanel is dope don’t stop making videos!
The Cocktails with T bars rocks it for me.... love the sissy bar just awesome. Your platform is such an inspiration and i cant with to start to work on my bike. You guys rock
It's a sick bike. And I love watching you guys build your own custom stuff. I build and fab everything I can. Keep up the great work and keep inspiring everyone.
One person commented that this type of build with take him two years. That's Awesome! Take your time and do something unique. So many of these builds are cookie cutter hard tails. Why??? Well, it's too hard for most to figure out how the keep the shock and get the correct clearance for the rear tire. I kept mine a soft tail and fabricated a seat pan/rear fender from scratch. Very time consuming to use fiberglass and make a mold. But, my bike is one you want to ride and turns heads everywhere I go. I encourage everyone to take your time and make something unique.
I dont know anything about motorcycles and mechanical things, but i like watching your videos bro. You guys have a very unique way of building your bikes and it makes me want to buy a cheap one and make something out if it.
Very very very VERY cool bike. The stands, bars, wheels, motor and that color! Nice!!! It's cool all the way through but the end results looks amazing!
putting chains on back wheel to get this perfect fender alignment was neat! I never thought about that and I just packed my old chains to scrap them. Looks like I'm not making this trip to scrapyard after all :D
I started to watch your crews videos about a month ago. I'm hooked, I like the family and passion for the craft. I've got a vstar 1100 and day dream constantly about chopping it up. Thanks.
The long straight pipes, low slung handle bars was the best. I would have either blacked out the motor or enameled it red. Also it would look tight with a springer front end. Love the suicide shifter
Thank you guys for doing this. You have inspired me to customize my 05 shadow 750. I have taken the front fender off but plan to customize the bike little by little.
Waves and rabbits Definitively! 🤜 When i watch u guys chop bikes i wanna buy a shadow and chop it too 😂. But dont have a place for this 😢. Anyway great content as always and cheers from Poland 👊😎
I have never given these Shadows much thought until seeing your creations. I had planned on buying a newer Yamaha Bolt, but think I will go this route and build instead.
t bars,suicide shift,short exhaust sissy bar,bro that bike has got awsome over the years hope my bike looks half as good as that thanks lnspltblvd been watchn u guys 4 a while. cheers from AOTEAROA NZ
To think there’s one company that will shave off the front fender mounts and clean them up for $250! You just showed me how easy it is doing it myself! Thanks for your vids! Maybe a full vid on that would be much appreciated if one of the other lnsplt homies wants to post???
I want my shadow like yours !!! Really love the way you make the mecanicals aspects simple like wire airbox carbs and the bike looks like very badass !!!
I’m hopefully picking up a shadow tomorrow. Looks very similar to this one. I’m excited to have a bobber and customize it more. Maybe I’ll do a suicide shift kit to it some day too. I have a Heritage Special 114 and it’s fantastic but these bobbers are so different and a connection to an era I never got to live.
Wave anD jackrabbits - super clean ! Your pretty amazing and creative with your engineering. I bought and old spirt with the vision of creating something when I retire in a couple years and I’m just getting nervous rebuilding the carbs😳! Congrats
This video was dope. The rear fender on my 95 vlx600 bobber flew off recently and I'm trying to figure out what to do next. I still have the rear suspension which I suspect is what caused the welds to rip off. Riding around without the fender made me realize there was definitely friction going on cuz now the ride is noticeably softer
They always sound like they’re blowing bubbles, great build! Looks awesome! I could seriously live without hand shifting? I never got it and never will?
Not only have you honed your mechanical and bike building skills....your video presentation is always interesting. You inspire others and support them also. Always a pleasure to watch! Be safe brother .
Good luck

Lnsplt has to be the best new school moto channel on youtube!

"I didn't take it to the next level" yet the bike looks better than 90% on the road lmao
haha my Dusty build was a lazy one for me. No midpegs, no chopped neck area, no wiretuck.
Meth towns will do that
Clean and real custom, non of that bolt on garbage. Good balance
Best ten minutes of my life!
Watch it twice,, you'll have time for a cigar.
Amen y'all
wavez with jackrabbits, 100%. I've never seen a shadow look so damn good!! Cheers my man, thats a sick build
The last setup was the best. I like the upward pointing bars with super short pipes. Great color as well. 👌🏾
This piece of art is just amazing, got me excited and thrilled to be riding my own bob soon. Nice work brother!
Bro you have inspired me to start my own build! I have a shadow too, but after watching your videos I finally have the courage to buy a welder and start learning some skills I’ll have for the rest of my life. Thanks man your Chanel is dope don’t stop making videos!
Cocktail shakers and t-bars y'all. It looked gorgeous, the wave n rabbits are cool but I like ole school class more than anything else.
The Cocktails with T bars rocks it for me.... love the sissy bar just awesome. Your platform is such an inspiration and i cant with to start to work on my bike.
You guys rock

Very very very VERY cool bike. The stands, bars, wheels, motor and that color! Nice!!! It's cool all the way through but the end results looks amazing!
Currently this bike is insane! But, the previous sissy bar is the most sickest I've ever seen , is my favorite!
Love the T bars and fish tails! Thanks for the inspiration.. my 600 should be finished by the end of this lockdown! Love the content
Update?
Congrats to John K!!! He poured his soul into that build and it shows.
Scott Campbell yup we see it!
Waves and Jack rabbits 😃 yous make it look so easy that would be a 2 years project to me 😂
The z bars e the jackrabbits are my favorite, lit!! 🇧🇷
The end results and the skills and vision needed to build that bike are something to be very very proud of.😎👍👍👍😎
I really dig the wavez with jack rabbits look, imo it looks like something I would call "contemporary badass"
Sick! One of the best. if not the best Bobber/Chopper build on UA-cam.
Great video. Great work... getting myself psyched for my first bobber build, and this is an awesome motivator.
I love this kinda "build", cuz its way more fun to cut shit off than it is to put it back together! 🤣 Less is more!
As a mechanical engineer I am very impressed sir. Keep up the good work.
This is dope. I just picked up a 92 VLX600 as a mini project bike. I know nothing about it (or cruisers in general), but seeing this is inspiring.
putting chains on back wheel to get this perfect fender alignment was neat! I never thought about that and I just packed my old chains to scrap them. Looks like I'm not making this trip to scrapyard after all :D
I started to watch your crews videos about a month ago. I'm hooked, I like the family and passion for the craft. I've got a vstar 1100 and day dream constantly about chopping it up.
Thanks.
Definitely gave me inspiration for my shadow. I'm glad I was finally able to grab a lnslpt shirt to support the channel! Keep up the good work!
The long straight pipes, low slung handle bars was the best. I would have either blacked out the motor or enameled it red. Also it would look tight with a springer front end. Love the suicide shifter
I’m liking the jackrabbit bars. That style has really grown on me. Great video!
Nooooice. They all look amazing,but my favorite is the wavez with jackrabbits 👌
Beautiful bike! I like the clean look of the version with the jack rabbits, but I would put the T bars on that. They all look amazing. Great job.
Thank you guys for doing this. You have inspired me to customize my 05 shadow 750. I have taken the front fender off but plan to customize the bike little by little.
same bike as me, is yours an aero? mine is 05 vt750c, im taking the plunge and buying a welder and some better tools..
If I even knew how to do half the stuff you just did I would 100% do this to the 93 Honda shadow I just bought !
Using that chain as a spacer between the tire and fender... Killer idea.
Waves and rabbits Definitively! 🤜 When i watch u guys chop bikes i wanna buy a shadow and chop it too 😂. But dont have a place for this 😢.
Anyway great content as always and cheers from Poland 👊😎
South Eastern state side, I'm finishing a couple builds, then a vt600 is next on my list.
You guys always give me so much inspiration for my own 1997 Shadow 600 ♥️💪🏻
Last set bars with either first two pipes I like the fishtails thought
I like the 1st set of pipes with the jackrabbits. Sweet build.👍🏻
really like the look of the first set of handle bars.
I’m new to ‘builder’ channels and your’s is the best.
This channel & it's idea's just get better & better. Nice one.
I like the solo seat with drag bars and no sissy bar. I would totally buy that bike off you
I like the cocktails and T-Bars.
I have never given these Shadows much thought until seeing your creations. I had planned on buying a newer Yamaha Bolt, but think I will go this route and build instead.
THe first look was the best!
Bike looks great! I like the first set of drag bars best.
That z bar looked like the best. IMO
t bars,suicide shift,short exhaust sissy bar,bro that bike has got awsome over the years hope my bike looks half as good as that thanks lnspltblvd been watchn u guys 4 a while. cheers from AOTEAROA NZ

Love the fishtails on the exhaust!
I’m hopefully picking up a shadow tomorrow. Looks very similar to this one. I’m excited to have a bobber and customize it more. Maybe I’ll do a suicide shift kit to it some day too. I have a Heritage Special 114 and it’s fantastic but these bobbers are so different and a connection to an era I never got to live.
You killed them all 🔥 but that last one hits different I love it
Fish tails is my favorite, but I like them all. What an awesome video!
heading out to work on my project now.......Loved the vid keep them coming
Wow you must have practiced for this for Such a long time to finish a build like this in only 10min. Respect! Just Look at what a speed He is movin
Woo hoo! Awesome vid! Great work, thank you for keeping me sane during the lockdown, safe riding and greetings from the UK
🤟😎
no problem, thanks for watching!
Man, I wish I could do what you do! A great looking bobber, no matter what handlebar.
My favorite bars is the first bars and the Z bars great look. Congratulations
All I can say is WOW!
Hands down ur channel is my fav
I can watch videos of this bike multiple times. Looks fucking beautiful.
You make fabrication work look exciting and easy!
Excellent work. The skill and fabrication id immpresive .the tidying and simplifying is amazing good job A÷
On Craigslist while watching this and a listing for this bike just popped up.
Buying a shadow frame in the morning and starting from the ground up. It's gonna be one hell of an experience
Wave anD jackrabbits - super clean ! Your pretty amazing and creative with your engineering. I bought and old spirt with the vision of creating something when I retire in a couple years and I’m just getting nervous rebuilding the carbs😳! Congrats
Nice transformation that bike looks great & sounds Awesome great job! 😎👍
Last one was GREAT!
Dang son !!!!! Very very well done
Favorite look is a combo of the short drag bars with no sissy bar.
This is unbelievable. Nice work and choice of music.
Damn dude you definitely know what you doing
T bars all the way. Beautiful bike!
Fishtails with Z bars - so vintage chopper look!
Last one.. without the passenger seat and bar.. 100%... so sick make me want a shadow..
Looks great, dig the shadow bobbers
Each one looked great!
De très belles réalisations , une préférence pour la deuxième transformation, très beau travail
The last one! I love it
Always love seeing new videos from you guys. I liked the fishtail look the best!
Beautiful bike! Great job on the build and quality video as always 🤙
Inspiration once again , thank you.
They all look bad ass. But the first is my favorite
This video was dope. The rear fender on my 95 vlx600 bobber flew off recently and I'm trying to figure out what to do next. I still have the rear suspension which I suspect is what caused the welds to rip off. Riding around without the fender made me realize there was definitely friction going on cuz now the ride is noticeably softer
Awesome bro. Inspiring for sure...from South AFRICA
Man I’m chomping at the bit for this deal to fall through I might get my first bike and trailer for under 1000 🙏🏽for me lnsplt gods
50thSt8OfMind good luck bro!!
Im building a 2000 vstar bobber im stumped on the wiring, very frustrating but it's lookin good so far. Great video
They always sound like they’re blowing bubbles, great build! Looks awesome! I could seriously live without hand shifting? I never got it and never will?
They all used to be hand shift years ago.I think it's like custom bikes in general.Either you get it or you don't.
Going threw all your videos bro
Loving them all
Pretty pumped I found ur channel
Excellent job.. simple but functional...
Really awesome work in all configurations, but personally i prefer the last look, really great and badass ! i love this tone of red ! \m/
Beautiful build! However, I find it "difficult to believe" that you built it in only ten minutes. Hahaha Great video
Nice build! I like the changes too. However o am a fan of drag bars on a chopper or a bobber. To me they look low and cool!
