2007 Honda Shadow VLX 600 Bobber "Midnight Runner"

This is Kai's bike I just finished. It is called "Midnight Runner" for its dark and stealthiness. It is a 2007 Honda Shadow VLX 600. Thanks for checking it out.

Man the Honda shadow vlx 600 makes the best bobber build out of any other bike by far.! This is another awesome build bro... I know this was 4 years ago but this machine sounds mean

Thanks

[@mangamark67]

I hope my 04 looks this nice eventually.

[@Katiekatana92]

Removed airbox, no baffles, dyno jet stage 1 needle on 3rd notch. 137.5 jet - 142.5... revs fine when parked.. drives slow and can't get above 50mph... slide opens up just fine. No air leaks in cv tube. Been at it for months.

[@4tkStudios]

Niiiiiiice work!!!

[@leesjs]

Ah that's the difference, mini twin carbs on the 400 and its air intake points upwards to the tank. Thanks for the tip!

[@loukasmallas9494]

nice pipes man

Dude that fucking exhaust is sick!

[@idothings100]

[@thunderkiss0000]

[@criticalcaleb]

Perfection

[@TailEndCustoms]

SirCaleb thank you. 👍🏼

[@denydelahaye]

great job

[@TailEndCustoms]

Well good thing you can't see light through my air filter. I just checked. I understand it will let more air and minimal dust in compared to the practically fully covered stock junk but people have been doing aftermarket filters on bikes for decades with no major issues. Anyway thanks for your concerns.

[@mattdeanmusic]

Drag bars and this would be so perfect for me!

[@TATTOOTRAINING]

where did u get footpegs? kinda hard to find any at all

[@TailEndCustoms]

Thank you

[@vagostwo]

it's stealthines with this sound i don't think... :P it's an awesome bike man you have really nice customs

Lol. More of a color name. Good one tho

not sure how stealthy those pipes are lol sick build man

[@TATTOOTRAINING]

depends on the cost of your donor bike I got one for 1200 at a tow auction but look in local craigslist seat, bars 100-200 each tires 300.00 most depends on how far you take it .

Elias Silva thanks

[@TailEndCustoms]

High Heat engine enamel paint from the autopart store

[@leesjs]

splendid work once again tail end customs! I've got a vlx 400 and have been trying to get rid of the triangular air filter cover, is the only way around it to change the entire carb or what have you guys done with it?

[@4miniworld]

Nice

[@jong4353]

Nice bike man!!! How did you rig that seat up and where you get the seat at?

[@chopper081]

Great build, what paint did you use on the block?

[@thenewbikers]

I noticed you make your own pipes. I'm kicking around either making a set or finding a set of custom pipes for my 06 Sabre 1100. What do you charge to make your pipes?

[@lockematt77]

Is the Shadow 600 a more ideal bike to build a bobber than thee Shadow 1100?

[@guzzy92fs]

Great ride, what kind of air filter is that, how are they called, where to find them? :) Nice grips as well.Excellent job overall

[@Smiltstomb]

Are those the 4" rise z bars? Bike is nice, like the look.

[@sharondabailey1046]

What jet kit you use?

[@ShemoStudios]

Anybody know of a exhaust pipe that looks similar to this custom one? I really love the look of it.

[@ExoticRideReels74]

where do you get the rubber boot covers for the forks..and did you make those fork covers with the holes?

[@TailEndCustoms]

haha. Thanks man

[@iskra1ON1]

What size rear fender did you use? Do you have the link?

[@lazmonroy8165]

awesome build. may I ask? what are you using to run your throttle cables? since I see that you removed the original on/off switch housing.

[@TailEndCustoms]

lazaro monroy it’s just a simple single 1” throttle assembly off ebay. You’ll have to redrill and tap to fit metric cable.

[@Katiekatana92]

I have already tried different aize jets. I don't get why runs and revs up rpm just fine when just sitting but not when ridding

[@totallygrim1]

I have an 04 that's stock and am looking to go bobber. Looking for ideas and this ones pretty rad.

[@TailEndCustoms]

Tim Blackburn thanks I appreciate it.

[@SuperTreyone]

So delicious

[@TailEndCustoms]

[@antoniocunha9693]

[@039kings]

What a sick ass bike bro.. how much for some pipes like this i have a 2006 honda shadow vlx..do you have a direct website where we can talk price

[@MrSmith-ty4bg]

Last two questions I promise haha but what size exhaust piping did you use for this bike and did you chop the front springs to lower the front of this bike at all?

[@TailEndCustoms]

1-3/4" I believe. Yes chopped inner spacer 2"

[@WHCAudio]

Damn dude that's fuckin gnarly. I totally want to do something similar to my 94 600 VLX

[@TailEndCustoms]

Thanks man

[@WHCAudio]

Tail End Customs I'm going ahead and diving into the deep end with my bike. Chopped the rear baffler out, and working on the front. I'd much rather slap some bent pipes like you guys use, but fuckin' moneys tight. You know where I can get some good info as far as measurements on where to chop the frame, how to determine where to mount things, size of fab'd mounts, etc etc.. I'm a machinist and can make certain things. No pipe bender at my shop though, which sucks. Might be hittin' you guys up for some ;D

[@TailEndCustoms]

Well the 600 has a single carb. It has the stock carb on it. Just new air filter, crankcase filter, and rejetted. Thanks

[@proMediic]

Tail End Customs what size pilot jet you end up using?

[@190sportline]

where did you buy that filter?

[@SUPPORTYOURSELF]

Great looking bike! Did you keep the rear suspension? That's my plan - a pseudo chopper/bobber, fully suspended - but most of the rear section chopped off.

[@TailEndCustoms]

Scott Campbell no it has a hardtail strut. Thanks

[@SUPPORTYOURSELF]

@@TailEndCustoms I just noticed the rear turn signals too! Very clever spot, well done.

[@TailEndCustoms]

Scott Campbell thanks I appreciate it

[@ABRepairs]

How much for some similar pipes? Looks killer.

[@Jfpazzo99]

Did u lower the bike at all?

[@williammayes7678]

Do u make bobber n sale them or make them for tother ppl

[@skatelumabra]

any idea on the cost to make a bike like this???

[@iammattbennett]

So if I was looking for a Honda Shadow to do something along these lines, the VLX 600 is ideal? What should I be looking for? Thanks for your time, and those are some truly badass bikes you all are building.

[@TailEndCustoms]

Yes if that is what you're going for then yes 1999 and up honda shadow vlx 600. Thanks

[@mikemartin2fst4u]

what kind of tank is that

[@gphilipc2031]

A+ Pinstriping.

[@pineapple5278]

Badass build, where did you order you forward controls from?

[@TailEndCustoms]

Stock forward controls. Foot pegs from ebay. Thanks

[@ArthurSperotto]

Amazing work, brother! Do you know of somewhere I can buy a custom exhaust like this? I don't think just removing the stock baffles is enough, but I also don't wanna shell out 600 bucks for a name-brand exhaust...

[@TailEndCustoms]

Arthur Sperotto hey buddy thank you. Yeah I know of two places that sell or will make you exhaust. TJBrutalCustoms makes a few sets of really nice exhaust for the vlx or Houston Retro Bobbers can make you some. Good luck

[@ArthurSperotto]

Tail End Customs Thank you!!

[@Mike4spirit]

Arthur Sperotto, I just bought custom exaust pipes for my shadow from JT brutal customs and they are awesome. be sure to get the jet kit for your carburetor! you won't be disappointed!

[@SonnyJ26]

Is there any reason why I see more Honda 600s bobbed than 750s? I'm interested in doing a build like this but had a 750 in mind but it seems like the majority I see are 600s.

[@TailEndCustoms]

Sonny82 looks better, lines are better, hidden monoshock, etc

[@KirbyHenry]

How did you make the toggle switch to start the bike?

[@TailEndCustoms]

Kirby Henry it's a momentary push button start switch

[@connorsmith7100]

is that a straight pipe? did u do anything with the carbs? jet kit or anything

[@TailEndCustoms]

Yes it is and yes I rejetted the carb

[@fishyfish1999]

Can u buy the exhausts?

[@TailEndCustoms]

That is a pancake air filter. We sell them on our website at tailendcustoms . Com

[@Jerseymulisha21]

Bike looks great sits just like mine 🤘🏻 what seat and springs did you use..??

[@TailEndCustoms]

James Gibbs thanks bud. Oh man I don’t remember. It was a ebay find and 3” springs I think.

[@TailEndCustoms]

James Gibbs sorry 2” barrel springs

[@Jerseymulisha21]

@@TailEndCustoms cool thanks man I'm trying to figure out what to get cause I have the cut rear end..seat on it is a single but no springs and it's just a little thick..thanks for getting back to me 🤘🏻🤘🏻 I guess I dont need a seat pan...

[@ruvtro]

Nice! Is the rear end locked/lowered or is the shock still in?

[@TailEndCustoms]

Lowered with a hardstrut to replace mono shock

[@thomasgolania5303]

Tail End Customs did you build the lowering bar or buy it?

[@TailEndCustoms]

Skylar Hemauer made it. 1" square stock, hole to hole was 8-3/4" I believe. It's been years.

[@jamessheldon25]

Hey man i have a bobbed out 99' shadow 600 and i really dig those pipes i was wondering where i could get some like that? Or if they were just some custom pipes you made. i appreciate your time.

[@TailEndCustoms]

Thanks. I custom made them. Sorry I have no vlx's in my possession at the moment or I would make something similar for you.

[@jamessheldon25]

Tail End Customs Dang man. Where are you based out of?

[@TailEndCustoms]

[@MoBMaN1231]

If I want to go straight bare bars, I know where to put my start switch but I'm not sure where to put everything els: horn, high-beam, and kill switch. I need all of those to pass inspection in Texas but I don't want them on my bars

[@TailEndCustoms]

Anywhere you want. Neck covers or side seat covers

[@MoBMaN1231]

That's what I thought thank you, now where did you get the fender from I'm running no fender right now but I want one

[@TailEndCustoms]

anthony crutsinger Front Street Cycles

[@connorsmith7100]

i have a 2000 shadow vlx 600...i wanna chop my pipes but i know nothing about carbs...i would imagine i would have to dissemble/clean/rejet the carbs? what jet kit do i use? im soo lost :/

[@TailEndCustoms]

I would suggest joining a forum like shadowriders.net and doing some research

[@connorsmith7100]

I will do that! thanks :)

[@BikerTrashWolf]

If the 600 had a 5th gear it would be all the bike I need. But the 4speed is just not enough

[@TailEndCustoms]

Yeah that’s why some do sprocket changes

[@jradish]

38 tooth rear sprocket will solve all your gearing problems. I run a 40 for around town and short highway

[@shadowrider2918]

do you sell and ship custom made pipes? I have an 06 honda shadow spirit i'd love to get some sweet pipes like this on!

[@MrSmith-ty4bg]

How much for a set of pipes like this, built and shipped. I got a 2007 as well.

[@TailEndCustoms]

Sorry I usually build them off the bike. I have no honda shadows in possession at the moment to be able to make a set. Check with TJ Brutal Customs or Houston Retro Bobbers. Thanks

[@MrSmith-ty4bg]

+Tail End Customs definitely! Thanks for the response. I also noticed that on some of the bikes you've posted, the stock pipes are cut then tips are welded on. How is the tip welded onto the second cylinder? I was wondering how it's done since it has half of a heat shield

[@TailEndCustoms]

+Torey Smith leave the rear heat shield on and where the muffler starts you cut on the muffler just a little further back to match the tip size and weld it on to there. Then wrap.

[@MrSmith-ty4bg]

+Tail End Customs now it makes sense! That's for the info I really appreciate it!!
