Honda Shadow VLX 600/400 Seat Install

[@mattatkins6723]

It's amazing how you did this in a few short minutes. Especially how you neglect showing how to mount the rear bracket! Tak. A. Bow.

[@noffe1996]

Just ordered a seat kit and fender kit, im so excited i can't wait :) Btw Cheers from sweden

[@ssamotorsfinland]

I am going to make video series from my bobber build. I install this kit for it.

[@ftrikerfox]

Great presentation Why put a sprung seat on a bike with suspension?. The seat plate you could have 2 captive bolts in place and just have to drill frame for them using a cardboard template that could be printed on the packaging. All in all a superb presentation and instructional guide best I've seen in a long time.

[@BlueCollarBobbers]

+ftrikerfox Thank you very much for your feedback! We appreciate it very much!

[@DoubleD72]

because some people remove the shock and replace it with a strut which also lower's the bike. then all you have is the seat springs...

[@sll-tt6bj]

Pretty nice just really don't like the gap between the rear of the tank in the front of the seat

[@nikotoniko]

ou trouver le système complet avec toutes les accessoires complet et vices

[@Eazy62]

Take a SHOT every time he says the word SNUG LOL

[@liamcunningham8967]

Is it at 90 degrees tho?

[@williamshaw3rd]

My frustrations lie where the aluminum plugs go into the back of the frame cut. The left side angles in about 5 degrees the right side maybe 10 degrees. It's a fight to feed the rear bolts at all while in the video I can see you being able to finger tighten everything. The transition looks terrible and I have a feeling I will need to ditch the aluminum plugs entirely and just weld that piece on.. making me wish I didn't cut where instructed as I'm going to have to try to make a steel plug look good with my limited fabrication tools. It's one of the things that held me off from finishing the bike a few years ago as it's very discouraging dumping all that money into something that doesn't visually reflect my investment. I'm getting around to finishing it now, but the combination of that and refusing to sell the rear fender bracket by itself really slowed me down trying to find alternative solutions. The seat looks nice, but TJ Brutal Customs looks to have everything I would need at much more "blue collar" prices. I just wish I discovered them sooner so I didn't have to deal with trying to make the two custom manufacturers physically work together. On another side note, whoever you have powder coating your parts isn't doing very good prep. After the parts sat out of the weather for a couple years before I got back to it, they managed to rust and bubble through and begin delaminating on some of the smaller vital brackets. At this point, I plan to run a hardtail strut and mount my lights off a DIY sissy bar bolted to a much tighter fitting fender I ordered from the UK. The seat is great, just seems odd how much smoother your example video goes as I measured repeatedly and did not get similar results. I hope everyone else has a better experience than me

Donde lo puedo compra ?

[@verseb1]

Is there a rack available for this application, ( ie to strap a duffel bag on )

[@michaelmayhew3414]

Awesome kit! Thinking about buying one from your website. What color/style seat is in the video? I want to select the correct one from your site.

Unfortunately it won't. The kits are very specific to the model. Sorry about that!

[@BRENDAJASON1]

Very nice

[@BlueCollarBobbers]

+BRENDAJASON1 Thank you!

[@nad0879]

Ou est t'il possible de faire l'achat de se support svp

[@BlueCollarBobbers]

momo520 Je suis désolé , je ne comprends pas très bien . Pourriez-vous s'il vous plaît expliquer?

[@nad0879]

Bonjour je recherche simplement cette pièce (support de selle)

[@antoinephotography1197]

dead link please update

[@mrcgs83]

Awosome!!

[@countryboymotovlogs926]

They proud of their shit ain’t they? Ive seen those tail lights on ebay for 29.00 a pair. Nice design on the seat but there prices are ridiculas!

[@ALUSE-u6c]

400 bucks god dame

[@countryboymotovlogs926]

Exhaust wrap price not bad? Come on guys, guess ill stay with TJBRUTALCUSTOMS.

[@coreymehalik9519]

TJ is the shit, I’ve used alot of parts from him. Paying for this is for more of the ease of easy self installation

[@FutureMarineDevilDog]

What if the moron who owned the bike before me cut the frame way to far forward? Looks like he had his 5 year old cut it

[@BlueCollarBobbers]

Could you send us a picture? Our email is [e-mail] Lance will be happy to get back to you!

[@highonfire885]

Nope

[@AllBayEveryDay]

Your prices are absurd. Even after 5 years your prices haven’t dropped at all. I wouldn’t pay more than 300 for the whole kit. Lower your price and you could sell so many more kits

[@dennisschell5543]

Prices are ridiculous...bye

[@BlueCollarBobbers]

Thanks for looking!

[@danielrissetto6779]

Will this work on Honda 400 slasher?
