INSANE Shadow 750 Bobber Explained

I have had a ton of questions about my latest build and thought it warranted a video to explain some things. If you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask. Don't forget to like this video for more on my future builds.

[@papashuk26]

and it looks incredible! Nice job keeping it clean and precise! To all you haters , bikers are a small community. Ride what you have and keep an eye out for each other!

I love watching these go from a bolky cruiser, to a mad looking slim line bobber

You nailed it. There is one very happy rider out on the road.

Thanks!

[@mr.noneofyourbusiness3234]

Nice bike man! Those Frisco bars compliment the overall flow of the bike very well. I would ride this scoot daily! Oh and nice job on the fender too!

[@GoheenCycles]

Thanks man!

[@wally4342]

Did a good job on this bike…Keep up the good work 👍

[@Merc_0158E7]

Nice build. Thanks for the camera work.

[@trevormeehan8312]

This is by far one of the coolest bikes on KZbin, I wish I could get 15 min on the phone with you haha I just got my first bike. A 1999 Honda Magna and I have spent so many hours researching how to get my bike to look similar to this but I don't how or where to look for ideas.

[@GoheenCycles]

Personally, this is what I would do: Drop the mag wheels and find spokes Spring seat hard tail rear struts find an aftermarket rear fender or have someone build you one powder coat all of the pot metal colored hardware Lower the front 2" replace the bars with a "Z" bar style repaint pull stock signals from the front That would be a good start.

[@derekv275]

God Damn! That's a Super clean Build!

dang it!!! come do that to my pipes on my ACE please?! LOL! I've been wanting to do that for years.

[@adamgeha5481]

First off, looks amazing! Beautiful bike! Second, What risers did you use? And wondering where you got your cables?

[@eljefeguapobarbon]

I am thinking about doing an 1100 build, are there quite a bit of aftermarket companies making parts for the different Shadow models or just 600/750s? Thanks and great job!

[@Highnz57]

That thing looks sweet! 👌

[@B00MBATS]

Stunning build!!!

[@chriswatkins282]

Can I order a rear fender off you? Please. Was thinking of using a trailer fender but they are not wide enough.

[@markkaplan2133]

Nice and clean. What are those pieces you used to replace the rear shocks?

[@GoheenCycles]

Mark Kaplan solid strut links

[@guillermosanchez3434]

Beautifull looking bike man. Great job on it. one question i got is regarding the GC logo. Do you happen to know what the font name is? thanks in advance.

[@thomasbrownjr6477]

Great looking bike. Dig it a lot. But one question. Why is passenger pegs still on it?

[@GoheenCycles]

+Thomas Brown jr complete oversight. It did not cross my mind until the bike was done.

[@zoocko121]

I have a shadow ace with a long rear fender. Was wondering what type of fender did you use to get such a low profile and high fender?

[@GoheenCycles]

I built that fender from scratch to fit the bike. That was the only way that I was able to get the look I wanted.

[@robertrichardson4216]

Hey what about the struts they are not original are they ? Or is the bike sitting lower ? Thanks bike looks great good job

[@witchdoctorgrim-7409]

What size tires did you use? I'm having a time locating a set that will work.

[@vicentebugman]

Your bike came out awesome I have a question if you could please answer for me it's driving me crazy did you put the rubbers from your shocks in the hard tell struts or did you just bolt them up

[@GoheenCycles]

I just bolted them up the way they came.

[@LoveIncSnowboardCo]

Did you remove the rear suspension and put steel struts in? Great build by the way!

[@GoheenCycles]

They are aluminum, but yeah, the shocks were replaced with hard struts.

[@jthebk3864]

Which handlebars did you use and what length cables did you need for them?

[@heid1984]

Do you have a Video of how you did the Fender?

[@GoheenCycles]

Unfortunately I don’t. I could make one but I’m looking for another spirit to make another one of these bikes. Then I could film more of the process.

[@angelopa9571]

what size and brand do you have in whells??

[@michaelespunkt8574]

Very nice bike, which handlebar did you install? Please write a link or the exact name for me :) Greetings from Germany

[@ssweeney9691]

Awesome build! Size rear tire?

[@ToraEarly97]

yo! the bar is originally biltwell or some personaly custom? tnx 4 answer

[@GoheenCycles]

Those were biltwell bars. I’ve since made a few other sets that were similar but taller.

With the short pipes did you do anything to the carb?

I am gonna get a honda shadow once i got my license.

[@MrCoffeeCrisp]

Did you have any issues with the chain in relation to the frame when you lowered the back onto struts?

[@emousey11]

Is there anywhere to get parts like this? From all the videos I've seen of bikes everything is welded or made from scratch, and I don't have the skill or knowledge of how to do that

[@GoheenCycles]

I'm located in central Ohio. This bike is actually for sale at $5100. Bike is low miles and has only had about 50 miles put on it since it was finished. You would not be able to buy one of these Shadows and have it built like this one for that kind of money.

Dumb question; how big are you ? As cool as the bike set up looks my ass might not think so. Can you take it out for some longer rides or is it a bar hopper now?

[@GoheenCycles]

I have ridden it about an hour and thats about as far as I would want to ride it. Its definitely more on the looks scale over comfort.

[@GoheenCycles]

That is going to be relative to your area and what kind of shape your bike is in. It could range from $3500-6k plus. It really all depends on how crazy you get with it.

what risers did you use for the bars?

[@GoheenCycles]

Stock risers, powder coated black.

[@hound2698]

Damn, I have a 2014 750 Shadow (phantom edition) The risers are welded to the bars so it comes as one piece. I am struggling to find risers for this so I can change the bars. any advice?

[@GoheenCycles]

You should be able to come across some on ebay.

[@hound2698]

Ebay have a huge amount of risers but I am worried about the fitting for the yolk as the descriptions on most of the risers just say "Honda VT750 Shadow (phantom) compatible" and are not. Thanks

This is the bike I'm using as a rough guide for my spirit 1100. I like the way it looks. It's stripped down and simple, but doesn't look like it's missing anything

[@GoheenCycles]

Good luck on your build! Hit me up on our facebook page with updates, I would love to see how it turns out.

[@Meowchiavelli]

This was one of the coolest little projects that we have worked on here at Goheen Cycles. This bike started as a 2003 Honda Shadow 750 Spirit. The following is a small list of the parts that were changed to make this build possible. 8" Frisco Bars (black powdercoated) All new cables including clutch, throttle and brake line (Goodridge and Motion Pro) New Biltwell Thruster grips New powdercoated handlebar risers 9.5" rear lowering struts Triple trees, fork lowers, hand controls, rear fender rails and chain guard have all been professionally powdercoated Complete rebuild of master cylinder and front forks (seals, gaskets, etc) Progressive Suspension lowering kit in front (1") Bobber seat Side mount license plate with 33 Ford tail light New white wall tires front and rear Hand made steel rear fender Custom made exhaust w/heat wrap Custom made battery cover (under seat) Old school gloss white paint with black scallops

[@lom23sc]

So clean! Bravo 👏 I love seeing metric bikes done....

[@JumpingWatermelons]

Great job. I have been wanting that style of handlebar so it's nice to see how it looks on the front end. I think I will really want to paint my bar equipment black, and get black bars. With everything you did, I'm a little surprised you kept the stock tank. As far as bikes go with that wide tank, yours looks about the best I've seen

[@wayneelliott9523]

Well done 👍. Excellent attention to detail and quality work. This one will last a long time!

[@peterlukacs459]

I have the same bike and this is what it should look like. A simple, clean bobber. Maybe not in white but some dark gray, but this is question of taste. Great job!

[@tvbuu]

Hey probably picking up one of these next week. If you could reply on where you got things like the turn signals/rear signals the blacked out cables, master cylinder you have on the bars, And any helpful info on the triple tree you did with the lowering

[@sal8575]

You should really consider selling those rear fenders and seat brackets, I would buy in a heart beat!

[@GoheenCycles]

I actually just bought another 750 Spirit that i'm planning on using a a jig for a few parts. One of the things I was wanting to do was build up some kits for that fender/seat/battery cover combo.

[@mrjaybennett80]

There are 62 idiots trolling this awesome video. Brother. That is one badass machine, I was gifted the same exact bike and boy does it need some love. Nothing can stay on my bike everything has to go especially the electricals. The frame and engine surprisingly are in very good condition (still have a no start issue) but anyway Honda did a great job with the chrom-ish-platisc-ome (little to not rust) so the engine I can polish out and frame I will color shift paint.. Thank you for the inspiration, good job.

very nice job! congrats

[@tobyblevins4072]

Did you do any cutting of the back frame and Welding or is it pretty much all stock I want to do that to my 750 but I don't want to have to cut the frame and weld one of those frames you get in a kit

[@troyp33]

Awesome build man. Couple questions for you. I just purchased an 02 shadow 750 and I would love to get it looking similar to yours. First off, how much do you have invested besides the price of the bike? Do have a list of your modifications? Do you build bikes for customers or just for yourself? Again awesome looking bike!

[@GoheenCycles]

I do builds for customers. What I have "in" the bike is going to be a little subjective. For instance, the fender is not something that you can just buy off of the shelf to put a price tag on. If you are interested in a full build list, Im putting together a tab on my webpage for this bike to give guys a better idea of what went into it parts wise. I get that question more than you would believe.
