I'm looking at bikes on craigslist, and most of the ones in my price range are Honda Shadows. It's a gorgeous bike, but I only just learned how to ride, so I'm not sure I'm comfortable with forward controls. So I google "honda shadow mid controls" and here's this brand-new video. Perfect timing. If I end up getting one, I guess I'm coming back here.
DUDE thank you so much for this!!! Been waiting anxiously to see this one. Nice edit,as well. I think this is the first time ever I'm first comment!! Hahahaa!!!
I had extra heim joints laying around so I used that instead of cutting down my shifter rod. You can definitely do that if you dont plan on going back to stock
Let me start by saying I have and ride a 2006 VT600. That said there is a reason Honda used forward controls. It's due to the very low seat height. I'm not a tall guy at all. There's no way I could ride with my legs crimped up underneath me as would happen if I did this mod to my bike. I did modify my Shadow and can fabricate custom parts. I fabricated brackets for a 1970's era Vetter Windjammer fairing and Vetter saddle bags and trunk turning my Shadow into a light touring bike. If mid controls had made since I would have done that, but they don't.
n4zou Definitely agree that you're missing the point ,here. Please do not take offence to what I'm saying ; but,fabricating brackets for a windjammer and bags isn't really what this channel is about. With that said,mid controls are not for everyone,either. If you think this is cramped,though,you're wrong. You want to see cramped,look at the HIGH mids most of the cats are rocking in Japan. I'm not saying it's for most,but then again,forward controls used to seem too extreme for the average rider. Trends: come and go. Your riding style may change over the years. I'm not saying you're right or wrong,only,to not say someone else is right or wrong for their decisions and riding choices, either. Keep riding!!
There’s another video of the finished bike and it looked so uncomfortable with the high mid controls. Custom bikes have a lot of aesthetic considerations that might take precedence over function, but making a bike intentionally worse when the pre-modded state looked good (if not better) is just stupid.
LNSPLTBLVD na a site called webike.jp. A shop called K&w sell there parts on the site. $315US but cost me $500 Nz a few years back. Bullshit expensive but I had to have em. That was before I brought a welder lol

GreezmunkyTV Thanks bro!! Have fun making these. I wanna see yours when they’re done
@@LNSPLTBLVD Oh,and quick question; did you have to cut down the stock shifter rod and rethread, or is that from a sport bike?
I had extra heim joints laying around so I used that instead of cutting down my shifter rod. You can definitely do that if you dont plan on going back to stock
Please tell me those are bmx pegs? Love it!!
How do I buy one of these from you?! I’m dying to have mid pegs in my shadow 😂
so many good vids.
Would love to see this done with a suicide clutch set up.
Great job
Exhaust ??
So is it more, or less, comfortable from stock?
Awsome ingenuity. Do you do this this for aesthetic or function?
Both but the main reason is to stand out from the crowd. We don't like to run stock stuff
LNSPLTBLVD forsure, I dont think any of my "toys" stay stock for long.
Per la mia VT 600 si può comprare queste pedane
Finally!
Would this would for 06 honda shadow aero? Its shaft drive. Thanks guys!
Sick
What year is this Honda
Christian Moran 1998
Do you think a 1983 Honda shadow 500 is too small to turn it into a bobber ?
Christian Moran nope thats plenty of power. I bobbed out a Honda Rebel 250 before
That’s good to hear!. Thanks for replying 🙏🏼
Nice.
Brother!!!! Help me make mid controls. I live in sj. Ilk make it worth your time.
I would do it myself. But I dont have access to a welder. Bay area rent is a dream killer.
i cant understand why do this?? >>>>>>>> now i understand
Make and sell me a set?!

Youre missing the point COMPLETELY! Its a chopper.....

Are you the custom bike police?
