Absolutely love his "Hell, I will just make it" attitude ... this young man will be going places with that mindset 👍
Hell yeah, that's rad as fuck - Sick that he made it his own after he bought it, slowly turning it into his own vision!
Huge shout out to LnSpltBlvd, they're out here inspiring the masses to just get after it, don't be afraid and dive in!
That's often the best way to learn!
I've rewatched this video multiple times, amazed by how young and determined Binh is with his bike. Because of this, I recently bought a 1986 Shadow 500 as my first bike. Keep up the great work guys!!!
yea bro, im lookin at buying one myself, i got no skills yet with fab but fuck it might aswell try
@@aBANDIT. Harbor Freight is your best friend. Tools and welding machines. You can learn everything online. Don't be afraid to just jump in and try!
Good luck bought the shadow 500 and it’s the hardest to turn into a chop
Over 1 Year Later since you typed this comment. Let's hear the updates. Bike still going strong? You modify it yet? Please Share. :)
@@Cocytus I learned a lot from this bike. I hardtailed it, welded on a tall sissy from TC Bros put on a frisco tank and made some custom rabbit ears for her. I actually sold her not too long ago. That shadow never let me down and ran like a champ even after all the mods on the bike! Had to sell her so I can pursue an 1100.
Kudos to this guy. Gives hope. You all do. Was so close to ignoring the channel due to the name. Lane splitting is illegal everywhere I've ever lived. BUT... the group you guys have...the adventurous spirit, the amazing rides everyone of you has made your own... reminds me very much of the scene when I was that age coming out of the Army. I rode a modded Sportster all OVER the USA for years. Slept off my bike on the ground. A backpack strapped to the seat and just took off. So many of the best memories of those trips were solved problems and the people met along the way.
30 years later...9 big Harleys later... I'm back on a Sportster and back to simple. Got my backpack and sissy bar.... most guys my age are gonna stay on baggers and hotels... I did that for years.. the way you guys do it...that's better.
Oh yeah, what fantastic looking Shadow. Great bike.
Lane splitting is so fun though. :) I know it's dangerous. Luckily it's legal in California. I hope so for more places in the U.S.
Sissy bar and a backpack and slipping anywhere sounds fun, too! I wish I can get enough courage to do that.
@@huyked I hear ya, but it's also because I'd I can camp for nothing or close to it it cuts out the number one cost of a bike trip. When my wife could travel ..yeah, it was hotels every night .... but that was always more than anything on the trips. Great memories, but I'm also making new ones. Ride safe and often! 👊
@@Motorcyclewindtherapy
Yes, the cost savings for sleeping anywhere is very desirable. Haha.
Thanks. Will try to ride safe and smarter and more often. I wish you well, and the same. Cheers!
"Lane splitting", with care and safety, is perfectly legal in England (Great Britain) and aids in smoothing traffic flow! Just take great care!....😊...😊....!

Oh, yes, that's right. I've heard it's called filtering.
I think the white bag is cool, why because your the only one that has it. You've put a lot of time and thought in your machine and the old timers like myself are proud of you.
Great mindset, dope shadow. Faith restored in our youth with this man for sure. 🤘🤘🤘
never been so jealous in my life thats crazy for a first bike dope asf such a bad ass look
Not bad admire this young man.getting into bikes & doing it on his terms.that’s just awesome man.
That young dude's got a good future ahead of him. Nice guy.
This guy is a whole vibe! What a boss! Nice bike, man
Dude ! Binh is such a chill ass sick dude! Love his bike and his attitude! Can’t wait to see updates on his bike !
True the Shadows are bulletproof & very reliable. My 750 has more than enough power for the freeway as well. That vlx is a real looker. 🤘😎
Love this build! I appreciate the fact he had enough balls to fabricate anything he could without any experience. Tough build brother, respect from Melbourne, Australia. SYLF ⚪️⚫️
Sick setup mate and calling it Mr Polite (becauseyou live in a quietneighbourhood) 🤣 Priceless 👌
And just to add to my comment.
Awesome idea repurposing a bike rack for bars! Sick!
Had a Bagger, bought it because the guys I ride with all ride them. I enjoyed it, but I sold it and got back to basics.
You guys brought me back to what I fell in love about motorcycles.
I consider myself a
LNspltblvd Nomad ;)
Well done at 23. Excellent job and good on him to buy a welder and work on his skills. Ride safe young guns. Don't understand why your group doesn't run mirrors. Keep you knees and the breeze. Enjoy you scooters and your good times.
I've ridden about 70,000 miles and not once thought my standard clutch/shifter as boring. 🤣
I said it before you young folk make me proud, I am concerned about your #2 cylinder pipe. My second build I did something similar and got my right arm in it before I caught myself, HOT! Wrap it with some heat shield tape, it looks old school and will protect you. My first chopper was a Honda CB 750 that had been wrecked, Mr. Ray helped me build a frame and I raked it 45 degrees. Remember ride/build what you like. I love what you young men are doing and if you ever get to Tennessee we will have to ride.
looks similar like a old knuckle head from the 70s, nice work, it even motivates me to get my hands and learn to ride on one of those vlx
This guy is my hero. I'm 23 also, I ride a Shadow. I just got it though so it is completely stock. Gonna change that real soon, but I'm kind of at a loss because it is a 1986 VT700C and nobody online has built one. Probably because it is the shaft-drive model. I am inspired by what you guys do with your bikes and I love chopper style, but I wish I could find a good example of a VT700c that is built
@16:40 I was getting rather anxious seeing the chain hanging from his pocket, and so close to the spinning rear wheel!!!
A welder is one of the best tools you will ever have. Nice welds for a beginner. Awesome bike dude!
elders company absolutly from indonesia,,,, im from indonesia so proud...
You know what, I love this chanel because its about what the rider wants to ride, not just trying to fit in with the masses, keep it up son!
I'm currently looking for a shadow myself in the UK 🇬🇧
Dude, that must be sick just to arrive at school with a bike like this
Call it Mr. Rogers. The nicest guy in the neighborhood!
Soft spoken person with a goood attitude.. 👏 👏 👏
I have a 2002 I bought new. The only problem so far is it needed the front brake master cylinder rebuilt- I bought the rebuild kit and watched a RUclips video for how to do it myself. The top speed is 95 mph, but the vibration gets worse above 60 mph, and the single front brake disk is better for 60 mph or less. Honda copied a Harley Softail with a hidden back shock, and the Softail is a copy of the 1936 Harley Knucklehead. V for V-twin, L for low, and X for extended front forks. I ride mine once a week if it is at least 50 degrees outside, usually about 20 miles on curvy country roads. I also have another motorcycle that is very different. It is nice to have 2, if one needs a tire or battery just ride the other one until you get around to fixing it. I rode a Yamaha XS-650 from 1980 to 1985, and had a car for the colder 6 months every year.
Yes, love this guy. Keep up the great work man😎
amazing, best honda shadow i have ever seen
this is the handlebar angle , maybe not so high but ! strait line from the front axle and the hands at a comfortable angle !
Watching videos with bikes and such people make me feel happy
It’s great to see a young bloke having some fun the only thing I would say is save up and get a good helmet, the helmet you have is sick but protect your head so you can do this for the rest of your life.
Bike looks sick keep up the great work
Dude I brought a 1995 Honda Shadow 600 six months ago fourteen owners before me. It’s orange out of all colours orange with glitter in it shines at night looks bloody Beautiful. When sunlight hits it turns green in the front of the tank and burgundy. With route 66 emblem on both of the side. I extended the front forks changed the front tyre to a Shinko added a 40 inch sissy bar. Back end was chopped of and frame was lowered. Added a triangular chopper headlight and extended handlebars just into the middle don’t like it too high. The only thing bad about it is people saying hey nice bike whilst I’m just relaxing somewhere after a long day, especially at night gets a little creepy. I live in London crime is rampant here, anyways these are beautiful bikes although they are mistaken for a Harley they have personality ride safe my people.
amazing bike! your hard work definitely payed off and i can’t wait to see how it will grow and transform in the future. hoping for some vlog vids and touring trips to look forward to!
It's Binh!! Great guy - bike NOICE!! Thanks for sharing. LNSPLTBLVD, You have REALLY great content. I think I have to opt-in for notifications, too...
I love the Honda VLX 600 Shadow! I wanted the bike but they were very scarce in England at the time, so I got my trusty 1996 Honda CMXC250 Rebel (1985-2016) instead, to keep the classic-style cruiser! It's a shame that Honda didn't design the VLX 600 with an air-cooled engine (without the ugly radiator in front!), and just a single Keihin CV Carburettor between the cylinders...(45 degrees cylinder placement would have been better!), and an added kick-starter would also have been very nice!. A perfect lightweight alternative to a heavy Harley-Davidson! It's a shame that they don't make them anymore!... Take care, all!...😊....😊...!
bro lives in the same neighborhood he always has some project going on, very hard working dude and goes through with his things. rock on 🤟
Really nice old skool look, my kind of chopper
Sweet bike. That bag he made is the perfect length for the bike, since when he is seated, the bag goes to the same height as his torso. nice
Finally someone else understood the thing about the bag on the sissybar. I bought a fairly large dufflebag for travelling and put the bar on when taking trips. It does make a good backrest.
Great channel! Good to see the bike being ridden!
Yep..... most of us started like that. Great to see young people taking over the culture. 👍
Glad to see a younger fella get into bikes!! Love that he is so ambitious and has that LETS GO !! Drive and motivational way about things . attitude is everything !
Great bikes! I'm from indonesia and elder's garage is badass
Dreaming of having my own chopper though
Love the videos! I just picked up a 96 vlx 600 for $600 today, I'm super excited to start building it!
Yeah man Elders Company from Indonesia 😄⚡️ ride safe Binh! 🫶🏼
So cool bike! Most of the changes are just as Id love to do to my shadow! Love the seat!
I like the exhaust pipes , I bought upsweep pipes for my 97 shadow 600 similar look
I really enjoyed this video. I love his enthusiasm. Glad he's getting into this so young. Hopefully he has a lot of fun and success in his future.
My ears would hurt if I was riding that bike. But it sound so dam good
Good video and awesome looking bike!
I miss my 06 honda shadow bobber. Sold it 3 months ago. I hope to find another next year
Awesome video and awesome content can’t wait for the next video Thank’s
Love that dude since day 1! 🔥
In the movie cars, mater and McQueen are tractor tipping, and out of the dead silence comes a rumbling... "Thats Frank!"
Name her frank.
Sic shadow my friend!
Makes me miss my 04 VLX. But then i remember i'm 6'4 and a VLX is tiny.
Love his can do attitude. Kudos for using the monkey with the basket as a camera bike. Gotta get those miles per gallon.
Good looking bike. Young man is cool af. I can see him building some amazing bikes if he sticks with it.
Shoutout to elders company 🎉
I just bought a 1996. Nice little bike my first one
nice nice, was time for some Honda Shadow
I love how you guys get so excited about picking up bargains like that Bell helmet 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
“I’ve had the bike for like 2 months and I’ve painted it like 4 times”, ha, ha, I haven’t washed my bike that many times🤣
Dude got lucky i would buy that in a heartbeat
Nice bike yo, my first bike was also a shadow when i was younger ! keep riding and stay safe !
Like the young man’s attitude
Yo Lnspltblvd, Bought my wife a 94 VLX per her request tried talking her out of it not enough power. She loved it around town but when we would hit the open road It lagged behind. One season later she asked for a Magna V4 750. SMH. VLX is a Kool Ride. You Meet the Nicest People on a Honda Valkyrie. Keep the Shiny Side Up.
Good luck with it have fun be careful
Good attitude 👍🏽
Buena transformación, esos tubos se tienen que agarrar al chasis 🤔 o tiene peligro de romperse. 😉 Saludos from Spain.🍻
brother is lit!
I am trying to sell my 79 xs750 so I can purchase a shadow! Cause I have been inspired I hope the purchase and don’t fall through cause I now have a dream to build a shadow cause of y’all thank you lmao
You and those beautiful bikes need the routes of southern Mexico! I can see them from here!
Dude seems super chill. Made me laugh a couple times haha
That helmet needs a Lnsplt sticker
Sweet ride, make a wider back fender, anytime you ride threw water or if it rains a little your back will get all muddy and the dirty asphalt will stain your clothes. Stay safe
Saludos carnal, desde Mexicali Baja California. Animo con los proyectos
Aztec calendar, lovely 😍😍😍
I love riding, but don’t wrench shit. Respect to your channel! Your videos, attitudes, runs and style are always laid back and cool af. Have fun boys, FTW!

Sorry I should have said the T Bars he said he took off his bike when he made the set from the bike rack I think he said his Uncle gave him ?? Thank You..
Daniel Bock...
I like the style of that bikes
I hope that you used steel tubing slugs plug welded in at those mid-handlebar welds.
Honda will never sound like a Harley Davidson, pipes included!
