Complete 2004 Honda Shadow Bobber Build

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 [e-mail]
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.

[@markust.8368]

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 🤘🤘

[@CarAholic86]

It's an excellent base!

[@seanharris6427]

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.

[@mudroost8040]

What a build video. I like the way the seat just appears...POOF. Seat. Sometimes they do that.

[@BillCompo]

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.

[@jmendoza328]

Wow, I'm convinced. My first bike will be either a shadow or a rebel 450. Thanks for the inspiration!

[@ghostryder94]

I almost checked out early because I don't usually go for the 600 shadows. Glad I stuck around. That came out really nice and looks like it would be a ton of fun for a bar hopper.

[@forgiven21801]

Thanks! Really nice. Thought I saw a red Shadow similar in Pittsville last summer. Wish I had some jingle. 1 year in recovery & in school. I'll have one some day

[@CarAholic86]

May have been one of mine. I live in Pittsville

[@soulriverdogs]

Who in the hell would give this a thumbs down? A moron would. Nice little build

[@brianh5609]

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.

[@davidekelman5715]

Front fender is now the back fender.Nice!

[@Foxbodyguy91]

Damn, thats a beautiful bike. I just picked up a 2000 shadow 1100 yesterday. Fist motorcycle i've owned. Be safe Brother

[@finnyscustoms2000]

This video is the reason that I built my first bike. (video on my page). and started my business building bikes. Thanks man, this thing is so damn cool!!

[@CarAholic86]

Thanks man! That's awesome!

[@ripley-8837]

to everybody who is cosidering buying one of these, do it, is an excellent machine.

[@BuzzzdLightyear]

I love how such simple styling goes a long way on these bikes. Nice work!

[@dreezyfranklin]

[@matthewgarza2865]

I have a honda shadow 600cc vlx and want to make into a bike like this. Great video man

[@basspole]

Nice job...love the bars too and I normally hate apes

[@bham2397]

Sweet bike, those whitewalls really add to it

[@CarAholic86]

Yea they are one of my favorite parts!

[@austinb1800]

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

[@CarAholic86]

Thanks!

[@wchristman6360]

Awesome job on the build. Looked like a lot of fun.

[@dadcooksstuff]

Brother I cant give you enough credit on such an awesome Bobber build! Great way for a not so loaded in the wallet Brother to have a Sweet Ride! Love my Harley, but that Honda is kick ass! I would like to get that dvd from you. If you could send me all the info I could use it to build a nice ride for a good friend. Look forward to hearing from you and thanks for getting back to me on the jet and carb tuning. Ride Strong! Awesome Work!

[@CarAholic86]

Thanks man! Just email me at [e-mail]. I can't figure out how to email you through KZbin.

[@briankeyte1498]

[e-mail] love the bike,one question..how did u lower the rear end of your shadow 600?

[@filmfreaken]

Great video, beautiful bike, bike of my dreams :)

[@omaradham7525]

so did you ever get her ?

[@filmfreaken]

@@omaradham7525 I did manage to get one, i bought it bone stock in 2018, poor condition, good motor.. and completly rebuild it, bobber style, with basicly new everything, including paint job and sold it again in 2020 to a friend of mine.

[@omaradham7525]

@@filmfreaken well good for you man, glad you got your dream bike why'd you sell it though if you dont mind me asking ?

[@filmfreaken]

@@omaradham7525 I like to set goals for myself and chase them down, the Honda was just a step on the road.

[@omaradham7525]

@@filmfreaken i see.. well, here's to your next goal then Ride safe

[@puckslider6443]

Hell yeah, sick bike

[@russmurphy612]

Simple and clean

[@truthrwethere3547]

Very cool want to build out my Suzuki intruder 1400 .. very helpful.. thank you 👍🏼✌🏼

[@juanfender7]

Bravo! Looks awesome!

[@decadantdog4444]

Let's hear it run.

[@vareks1]

very nice done

[@javieralfonzo2473]

The name song is Dont Look of Silent Partner

[@dylansimmons5073]

How does lowering the rear end with no suspension work? Do you have to worry about chain angle? Does it affect anything other than just taking off all the suspension components? Looking into doing this to mine

[@CarAholic86]

It rides a little stiffer but not too bad. You will probably have to adjust your chain slightly. Just measure the chain slack before you lower it so you know approximately where it needs to be. I have the lowering struts still available if your interested.

[@tobiascorreia.9091]

Tri legal. Amo minha shadow

[@Motodóg68-c3f]

Pra mim umas das coisas mais importantes é saber TB o valor desses trampos,pra gente poder imaginar se pd ou não fz isso com nossas motos uma dia,mas colocar valores parece até segredo de estado!!!!

[@ksaenghoi]

Very nice!!!

[@leolo3764]

Great video , it's a dreams.

[@canicaisawesome6709]

hat a great job dude.

[@jonwestmusic]

Beautiful

[@_Greasyzoku_]

I liked the stock bars & wheel/tire combo better. Still cool though

[@jaybeats2286]

I finally got my Shadow VLX 600 and I was wondering if you still have the DVD for sale brother. Awesome build @CarAholic86

[@BerserkerNick]

Nice ride, but you forgot to wrap the pipes and paint the tank

[@emmanuelsanchez2159]

Very nice

[@Nishan210]

Man I really need tyres for my Honda shadow 😪

[@mjbarfield]

pretty nice needs a wider back fender

[@reductodewotanc.c.6031]

Espectacular trabajo!!...

[@jcleveland16]

How much was the entire build minus the price of the bike? And how much do you think it would cost to have this professionally done?

[@stufoo]

Too much. Do it yourself

[@GQLottoMusic]

Which brand rear tire fairing did you use? I need to grab one for my shadow bobber

[@TheFuturecap]

Hello, I also bobbed my shadow but was to scarred to remove all that air filter crap. can you just remove all that plastic that goes under the front of the motor and stick a filter over the opening? I like how clear yours looks.

[@CarAholic86]

Yea its not to difficult. You might have to rejet the carb though because you will be sucking in more air.

[@CarAholic86]

I just finished a shooting a video of a 2007 VLX bobber build form start to finish. The videos are 1hr 30 mins of high quality video. If anyone is interested in purchasing one you can email me at [e-mail].

[@thebrucenasty]

Hey Caraholic86, is the video instructional or just demo?

[@CarAholic86]

It is instructional

[@randlaasesr.5689]

Nice Job . Over all Gud look also

[@stonetemplecore]

You did an excellent job on this bike! It's perfect. Can you tell me exactly what bars you put on?

[@CarAholic86]

They are 8" zbars
