Honda Shadow bobber final

[@dirtysouthjohn5214]

Thanks man! Finally a video that tells where to get items instead of just showing off bike! Very nice ride!

[@Grimexperience62]

Dude! This bike is pure class!!! Good job....Now this is a bobber. Love what you did with the seat ! T

[@lakecrab]

I like the Blue Collar Kits. The rear fenders look terrific.

[@tasatasat]

Looks good. Another thing you could consider doing, which is what I did to my VT750 when I spray painted it is do what you did with the krylon paint, but then put a few light coats of the flat black bumper spray paint. The bumper paint gives off a brighter, darker flat black and the water really beads up nicely. I think it just looks a lot nicer than just the regular flat black.

[@t9gear]

Glad you liked it. This was definetly a fun project and i wish i could do it all over again.

[@drugsryumy]

looks bad serious man, great modifications. I just bought a 2013 Honda shadow phantom 750 but mines all stock no add ons I really enjoy it. I just moved up from the shadow 600 vlx from '07, my first bike but u made that thing look sweet, great work man

[@Noonelson]

Thanks for your help. More questions if you dont mind ;) How did you wire the front signals? I know you said you used some kind of switch box to make the rear signal/break lights work, but were the fronts just plug n play?

[@Roadghost88]

Nice job. Great attention to detail especially with the lights.

[@onlysadi]

My friend. You made a great video. Very informative. Like your work & what you did to your bike. thank you for posting it online.

[@NGSVALENCIA]

Sounds mad! I like the style, clean, people tend to overadd stuff, this bike is really neat. Congrats.

[@EJ8TrapKing]

dude i love the front led turn signals. u just gave me a crazy idea thanks.

[@JIGGLEMYEGGO]

key words here,my bike and it looks good to me.I.M.H.O. I think you did a great job,you didn't go crazy with add ons,sometimes simple is better.love the subtle use of flet black.thanks for the info.i'm sure at some point some idiot will point out that its not a Harley.i own 2 of them and I will be the first to tell you that owning 1 doesn't make me a "biker".ride what you can as much as you can with as many friends as you can.peace and grease.god bless.

[@Noonelson]

Thanks for your reply and congrats on the good work you've done on your bike. cheers

[@t9gear]

Yeah i'm no pro at all. Really just roamed some forums and did a step by step kinda deal. The beauty of learning new things

[@rosarioortoli7179]

T9GEAR you did a really good job painting and selecting those turn signals front and back, love it

[@roguewuulf]

Think you did a great job with the bike. Very creative. Well enjoy your ride and be safe

[@tommyheuer86]

Great bolt on job. Looks clean and sounds good.

[@laszloszanto9291]

It's a beautiful iron! I like the LEDs and the others too, great job!

[@stocktondrivers8414]

you need white walls, Different turn signals, pipes, grips, Headlight. It looks good man, you just need to make it look a bit more garage made. Love the seat and the rear fender. good job

[@MaxLeeMe]

Is that fender from Blue Collar Bobbers too? If not where'd ya get it?

[@cdnbcn6164]

Man that bike looks great.. well done

[@adriantrain2037]

Lol i was thinking it when you said it, our projects arnt really ever finished........ ive just jot my shadow so im at the stage of starting to tear diwn any un needed crap...... hey I really like your FRT LEDset up. They look sick....... nuce to see someone doing their own paint...... practice practice practice. I actually assumed it was wrapped........ so that's a huge good comment..... ive subscribed so I can see more....

[@timcraig1161]

the lines are great and look great with the bobber

[@chrisclokey]

I love it! And the paint job is awesome!

[@chizga1978]

hey T9, finally got the answer to a lot of people about the box under your shadow seat, it's called Run-turn-brake Controller.

[@MrBigleo25]

how does it work do u have a link

[@Poweraddicts]

Nice ride man! Like the LED set up. Great job!!

[@esmith8887]

Dude... AMAZING idea using the ugly sawed off frame as turn signals.. Really looks great. I've been pouring over a nice V-Twin bike to do a bobber with (This or a 600 with the Mono Shock). I'm pretty sure this is it. It sure looks a lot more comfortable to ride than the modded hard tails.

[@t9gear]

Thanks bud. Been riding it alot lately. Way comfy now

[@clockerification]

Nice bike.You just gave me a new plan for lights. Wondering ...did the cutting out of the resonator from the exhaust need you to do re-jetting of the carbs?

[@Roshi-..-]

Love the look, did you get the small or large seat from blue collar bobbers?

[@jamespeavy28]

Very impressive video i like how you added where you got most of your parts i own a 96 650 4 speed i picked up for 600 and a shotgun spent 200 on carbs and higher rear sprocket dont have quite the takeoff i need but im 6 foot 2 280 lbs still very impressed as it was my learners bike thanks for the video check out houston retro bobbers he specialises in turning shadows into bobbers and builds really nice coustom exaust

[@joelgarner667]

Awesome man! Random question...the rear blinkers seem to be on a mount. Did that come with the blinkers or with the first bullet blinkers you mentioned?

[@alexc9286]

the paint looks good ............wich paint did you use ..and did u sand the other paint off or you paint over ,,o and the covers too

[@jvrhernandez]

how did you make the turn signals blink from low light to high light and the break light too and by the way great video love the bike and the paint work !!! let me know please thanks !!!!

[@modestcody123]

Looks fantastic man!! you have some good taste in your creativity.

[@miggue2230]

can you please sent me a picture or more information of that, "switch box" you plug the the LEDs to. I really like the turn signal light.

[@yoshit9819]

U did a fine job young man.

[@jasonshoe8302]

great bike clean, but i would love more information on the led light box for ur rear brake lights and turn signals. please

[@t9gear]

Found a guy on the honda shadow forums that makes them. I forgot the name but if you check the forums i'm pretty sure you will find him

[@t9gear]

Thanks a bunch. I cant wait to ride this summer. We have short summers here :(

[@LisaD472]

If it helps. Lacquers are solids and solvents, they dry through evaporation of solvent they're softest. Enamels react with oxygen, which creates a harder finish. Neither are solvent-proof and most automotive paints like duplicolor rustoleum krylon - most anything in a can - are either lacquers or enamels. A-Urethane - you have to mix with a hardener and it's best to clear over it. You can buy AU in cans which you need to agitate - to mix the hardener with the base, though colors will be limited.

[@BAD16]

Nice job. I love the bobber look.

[@WoodRanger138]

Great job Brother. Thank You for Generously Sharing

[@justanothernoobe]

that would be awesome. Already got my order for LEDs underway. Nice paint job you did too, by the way :)

[@justanothernoobe]

nice work - love the minimalist styling for the indicators - especially the rear brake / indicator combo - would love to do that on my 600 VLX Bobber here in NZ - can you remember what was the name of that box or who did it?

[@dknight1221]

F........ng awesome bike bro looks killer great job

[@t9gear]

You're welcome. Hope yours is coming along aswell. If you have a Shadow that is

[@Loganthegr8]

You can get those mirrors off of J&P Cycles they even have turn signals kind of like those as well I do love this bike man great job

[@RicFlair3333]

The tank is awesome. This is what a Bobber is supposed to look like.

[@CoronaGuillermo]

Looks good great work, What year is the bike ? What size is the engine ?

[@DeadmanEmsland]

Where did you get the bracket for the rear LED's? slick looking set up.

[@t9gear]

I got the box from a guy named ss rider on the shadowriders forums. Hope that helps

[@VASAMOAN]

Nice bike and excellent video!

[@lakecrab]

Great Job...did you use a clear coat with the paint?

[@bradflorida9961]

like your turn sigs, real cool!! the paint looks good too! thnks for the vid.

[@BoDanglezzz]

Great bike! Where did you get the structure that houses the rear turn signals lights? And the rear turn signals are adhesive correct?

[@ericpetraroia2930]

did you need to cut a lot of the frame in order to fit the rear fender? I'd like to do something similar to what you got going on, looks good!

[@5642jlohan]

T9, great looking bike. I have a 2000 Honda shadow 600vlx, that I'm making a bobber. Where and what is the switch box that makes the turn signals work. I need your help.

[@TheJobmas]

Great! But, did You change front wheel?

[@kamahoo451]

Dude,,,,,,that bike looks GOOOOD!!! Just got a 2012 from a family member. Plan on keeping the factory paint(Sunburst Orange(?)with flames). Having trouble finding a "fat tire kit" for a shaft drive. Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!

[@Meadowbrook291]

Nice looking bike 👌. Do you have the exact like to the front and rear lights? Especially the rear lights.

[@sal8575]

Did you lower the bike? If so, how did you do it?

[@clockerification]

Nice paint job! Did you clear coat that?

[@brenthaakonson6375]

T9, Nice ride! would please share the names of web sites or shops and stores you purchased from? Thanks Brent.

[@scraprider7]

Great video! Bike looks great brother! Lot of inspiration for my VLX

[@bradkrueger3992]

Can you please send an up close picture of the rear light bracket? I am trying to fabricate one and not sure how you ran your Oznium light wires, since the lights are adhesive backed did you drill holes or run them over the bracket?

[@cassidy_bela_falentino890]

That's awesome bobber. did you do any changes on the frame ?

[@cityofdavidchurchhouston]

Thank you for the video. Waiting for my Drag Bars.

[@t9gear]

Thanks for the comment. Handling is pretty good and its fun to drive

[@siggnolove]

hey brother, when you changed the rear fender, did you put a bigger tire or is it the stock tire?

[@khernandez210]

Love the bike. I have a similar bike. I have a hid kit for my bike but it wont turn on when plugged to the stock harness. How did u wire your lights to get them to turn on? Your help would be greatly appreciated.

[@ajmechanical2159]

where did you get the drag bars and riders from? what size did you go with for bars and risers.

[@justanothernoobe]

awesome - found him - thanks for taking the time to find me that pointer :)

[@ric0surf]

did you chop the rear end yourself ? did you lower it ? I have a shadow that I am modifying too Thanks.

[@t9gear]

Its a 2007 and i only ride it in the summer on weekends. Thanks dude

[@antoinevarin6748]

Did you hook up the front LED directly with the stock wires? no issues?

[@toolbox7890]

what shocks did you use for the rear. I am building a 1996 vt1100c shadow and what to get rid of the soda can style rear shocks

[@mcjaypee]

Nice, clean look. Good job!

[@schworak]

I love it! You did a lot of things that I also did to my 1100 Sabre. I used LEDs all over. Not the same as yours but same concept. I did them on the back under my seat. Love the drag bars too. The mat black really looks hot on that bike. If you want to check mine out it is here: My Finished Chopper - 50 Degree Rake

[@abcanimal]

Hey man! I'm sure I'm not the only guy to say this but you should put a resistor in your blinker circuit so that your blinkers won't flash as fast. Anyway, great lookin' bike! Nice job!

[@alankocak323]

What headlight is that? did you change just the bulb or is that a complete kit?

[@david2k777]

did you make that bracket that goes across the frame for the taillights?

[@LisaD472]

If you do have issues with your paint - google "colorrite" they can provide acrylic urethane in quarts - touch-up pens etc. - even spray cans - and you can even match your bikes color through their website using model and year.. Their paint is a little (okay-just plain) "expensive" (but), it is bike matched AU paint which is the best for automotive use - especially gas-tanks. AU sets up rock-hard - and won't dry out and fade in the sun like lacquer and enamels, as it is also UV resistant.

[@llsoonerll]

Nicely done sir, how do i get my hands on some struts like yours ? Im currently riding rigid and it can be punishing. Thanks ahead for the help

[@selenamrtnz1]

Did you change anything with the suspension? I want to keep my shocks like you have here.

[@Haze4293]

so your rear lights. they flash when turning but what about when you put your turn signal on n break at the same time?

[@lanzotv]

did you change the front forks and front wheel???

[@Remirock]

Hey , i was wondering did you cut into the rear part of the frame?

[@nitrocell9287]

First off. awesome intro, second I feel you. I hate the lollipop turn signals. I love the drag bars but how does that affect the handling? and Sweet bike. love it

[@fabriciomontesdeocarodriguez]

BEAUTIFUL, whats the size of your engine ?

[@jjonboy67]

Great job very nice bike. I'm working on a 83 vt 500 now

[@Ben762x51]

Very nice. I've been looking for something that would be a good replacement for the "lollipop" front turn signals. I'm going to steal your idea bro. :-) It looks great. Nice job.

[@t9gear]

Thanks bro. Still hoping to work on it a little more

[@LisaD472]

Nice Bobber, and a really well done video! cruisercustomizing - for parts? The paint came out nice - but I think that Krylon is an acrylic enamel? If it is, this may be an issue as time wears on - especially on your tank - as enamels (and lacquers) hate solvents like gasoline - so you may eventually get some staining. If you have issues - for really hard wearing finishes, acrylic urethane is best - and is the current standard for automotive finishes. I do like the use of LED's.. Nice Bike!

[@pogijuice]

can you show me how it would look when the breaks are on when slowing down while turn signals are on at the same time. pls. would highly appreciate it, thank you..

[@DirtyHowy]

Where did you get the plate to mount the rear brake/turn signal?

[@ZOOIEZOO27]

Could u give me a link where I could get the rear turn signals I've been looking all over the place and this is exactly what I've been looking for, also would like info on the box u talked about to make them work..

[@gastondeveaux3783]

I really like your bike. Great job. I like your "minimalist aporoach. One question, I am just dreaming of a bobber perhaps in a few years. I like the bobber style because my impression is that the seat is lower and with being lower to the ground, maybe it's easier to manoeuver? So I am just under 6 feet tall. I love the handlebar style you chose. Are you as tall as me? And if so, if your seat/handlebar configuration confortable ?

[@master_moose]

Where did you get the bracket that the tail lights are mounted to?

[@CaddAlec]

Bike looks real; good T9. Did you have to swap your cables (throttle,brake etc) when you went to the drag bar? The bar has got to go on my A.C.E and I'm thinking a drag or Zed bar

[@t9gear]

No i didnt swap them. Still working great and they didnt look too long

[@MrChd24]

Did you leave the tank on the bike when you painted it?
