- This is my ride, the purpose of this video is mainly to show that having a smaller tank is possibe for these awkward framed bikes (600 and 750) HERE ARE THE LINKS FOR EACH BIKE (BELOW)
750 SHADOW SPIRIT--------------www.pandemonium...
600 SHADOW--------------www.pandemonium...
Your willingness to try and help people out with their bikes is very cool .
Cheef Cherokee - hopefully the info helps someone, glad You stopped by;) have a great weekend;)
I was thinking the same thing. Good dude.
This is one of the most beautiful honda shadow bobber projects I've seen so far! Great job and greetings from Finland! 🤘😎
These are great bikes. I've ridden other metric cruisers and the 750 Shadow Spirit is my favorite.
Great bike, appreciate the way you incorporated your heritage into the build. Keep building and helping, Thanks.
Thanks man! hope you have a great weekend:)
Wow man well done, I love all bikes, and being a metric rider can especially appreciate when someone puts work into a metric to make it this cool...thanks for the inspiration and sharing, ride safe...
BONES - Wow man, truly humbled... thanks for the respectable words, I'll stay safe if you do! Thanks again man!
dude I think it's stand up as hell for you to offer your help to others that might be having problems with their bikes.....there should be more cats like you out there!
Dirty Ginger74 - I appreciate the comment man, feels good to help someone, these things can be frustrating to build sometimes and take a lot of patience, but if I can help someone get in the road faster it's worth the extra time to help, these customs rides..... it's a good family to belong too, rubber side down brother!!
Wow. That really is a one of a kind bike. Definitely the most personalized bike I've seen. In a good way.
Tyler Behm - Thanks, I appreciate that. Nothing is better than riding something that has personalization all over it, it guarantees yours is the only one. Thanks for the comment;)
BP - I totally dig your bike brotha and ur seat really really sets it off for me!! My grandmother was raised on the Cherokee res in eastern TN and anytime I see a bike that has Native American art work into a bike build/project- I tend to gravitate and love those type of motorcycles. Great work brother and stay on the path you now walk!
Thanks man, I appreciate the kind words, I'm glad this could inspire you somehow, have a great week:)
I've never liked a 'copper' colored vehicle before. But your bike is very beautiful. Great job.
Hey thanks man, I wondered if I could pull it off myself. thanks for the comment
I didn't read all of the comments,so I apologize if this has been mentioned before, but I would move the petcock rearward to use all of the tank.Great build and I like the color choice.
BigSwampy -hey, I thought about it at one point hen realized I was lazy, haha, I might up grade to one if he other tanks soon anyway, thanks for your comment! Have a great holiday!;)
I'm more of an apehanger guy, but that low, lean look is really nice.It lookslike a fun scoot
bannanapancake awesome bike dude.
here's a tip,
when wrapping the exhaust, start at the muffler and end at the flange.
that way the wrap will naturally shed water and dirt.
alteredstateskustom -cool, love tips, if your not learning your losing I guess, thanks;)
bannanapancake no problem dude,
I learned the hard way on my first bike build and ended up redoing it
glad to help.
keep up the cool builds
alteredstateskustom - thanks man, keep it rubber side down;))
I've watched this video so many times and your bike still amazes me! Thanks for the inspiration
Hey, thanks man I appreciate it... glad I could help someone in someway:)
Those beads on the grips are a great detail on an already awesome bike.
Hey thanks...I appreciate the comment! have a great week!!
This is a great video man!
I'd love to watch build videos and the process you go through on stuff like this. Way cool, also explained very calmly and nicely. I'm subscribing, keep it up! :)
Moneeb Nain- I appreciate the comment, bobbers have there pros and cons for sure, but that feeling you get when riding a motorcycle is doubled when you ride something that's says you all over it!! Have a good day:)
Awesome bike. I had an 85 honda shadow that I started doing a similar thing to but life happened and the project stalled out for a few years. I finally sold the bike two years ago. Kinda wish I hadn't now.
Daniel Huhmann sorry man, who knows where I'll be too, I may not have this one someday as well, I'm just enjoying it while I do. Hopefully you'll get something again someday, thanks for your comment;) have a good Christmas man;))
awesome!! im debating to chop my 750, i had my 600 bobbed and i loved it, but like you said, its hard to find good reference when it comes to the 750, yours is the best looking ive seen so far
george lucas weiss - Well I appreciate that compliment. I figure you'll either like it or hate it. I just want to show people that you can get what your looking for without breaking the bank. I'm glad you liked it;) good luck with your bike, and keep them rubber side down!;) have a good week!
Cool mods and it looks really good, but it's all about your needs. For me, having more fuel is important so...I prioritize a bigger tank. Thanks for sharing!
thanks for your comment! your right about the needs thing for sure< hope you have a good day:)
Nice work! I have 1100 shadow bobber with the nasty tank. I was thinking about cutting out the tunnel to weld into a sporty tank, but your solution looks good and would be easier. Thanks for the the ideas!
Obsessive Cycle Disorder - that's the only reason I made his video, to help someone, glad it gave you some ideas! Thanks for your comment:)
Job well done man , certainly a fine machine
Thanks man...I appreciate it, have a great week!
so stoked, just ordered my pandemonium tank!!! I mentioned you too lol
Honestly, its not my cup of tea this here build. But your seat has to be the coolest looking seat i have seen on any bobber so far! Creeds on that!
Erik iSkogen - its good that not everyone likes this, makes diversification so great.. I appreciate the comment man, keep it rubber side down;)
NOT, that your build was bad. Its easy to see that its well taken care of! But i love that 70% of builds are different. But my point of sticking my neck out and saying that its not my cup of tea was in fact to point out that when i say i dig the seat, i dig the seat ;)
Erik iSkogen - I know brother, I really appreciate the seat comment! I just really appreciate honesty... your the type I take seriously;) thanks again and be safe!!
Looks fantastic. I just bought one in the UK and getting ready to rip it apart lol. Great vid sir.
Thanks, it's a journey for sure, but the best part about it is that it's you, anyone can go buy a bike from any dealership and pull up to someone who "might" have a different color, but a bobber is 100% you on two wheels, and no one can buy that....good luck, rubber side down brother!!
Oomer hi. hello From Canada. Nice 81 RD 350 lc. I had an 82, very fun bike. Ride safe.
Dragan M my all time favourite bike the rd350. ride safe buddy.
Oomer thanks. one of mine too, I hope you dont sell it, its a keeper. I bought an RZ350 in 84. then in 85 bought the RZ500. check out my profile pic. take care.
Dragan M so cool man, I wish I still had my 350lc they go for like £6000 now here in the UK.
an Ice cream cover haha Wow that is cool thanks for sharing
Great build. I'm in the process of building a 94 VT1100 and Thx for the info on that tank. I'm gunna go with your recommendation.
Moose Man- hey hanks for the comment, I have a few other videos on how to install those tanks however I can't promise the same results on a 1100 (nice bike btw) I'm not to familiar with the 1100 frame set up to much, most of my work is done in 750's and 600's. I would check out my other video on the tank installations on the 750 and 600 and see what solution might be best for your frame set up first. Maybe you might have to use a combination of both setups?? Good luck with it man, rubber side down brother, and hanks for he comment;)
Absolutely mint build. The seat alone is top shelf stuff. I'm interested in the acids wash treated fuel tank on the other bike in your garage. Could you point me in the right direction for that process. You do great work. Show quality indeed man
Thanks so much Scott...appreciated! the tank is a wash from a product called "Blacken it" (eBay/Amazon) you can paint it on with a normal paint brush and one bottle usually does the trick. you'll have to make sure the tank is clean and free from oil, then I would take a really light grit sand paper, as light as you can find and sand it down (you don't have to, but I'd recommend it). after that, I would clean the tank with a simple dawn dish soap and let dry. take the "Blacken it" and paint on, now it works fast, so you'll have to work it around as fast as its setting. The longer you leave it on the darker it gets, if it gets too dark you can always take some of that same sand paper and scrub it down and reapply. I would honestly try it on a piece of regular steel first to see how it works, then sand it down to see how removes, this way you'll get a feel for it before you apply it to your tank. It doesn't work on some metals like aluminum so I would do your research first before you buy (some guys have aluminum tanks) it will, however, work on most and those pandemonium tanks. hope this helps and have a great day!
The tank that you bought brand new did you have to seal it inside ? I have a project going on right now on my shadow spirit and I already bought a new gas tank the same one on pandemonium tank new steel tank, and I'm worried about inside of it .I was searching on line regarding sealing the tank and 80% of the People says seal it. How'd you do it and what kind of chemical did you used? And regarding your cylinder where did you place your battery? Coz you didn't mention on this video if you place it inside the cylinder only the wiring and the fuse and everything. Thank you and Mahalo.
Sick bike man. Love the bead work and native pattern on the seat. Much respect.
Thanks, nobody does you better than you right?
Thanks for the comment:)
Nice build man old school look thats how its done
A huge thanks man, I really appreciate it. have a good weekend!
Kinda old video but gave me an idea for my project :) thanks for sharing happy holidays
I own a 1999 Honda Shadow VTC 750 Classic. They are great motorcycles indeed.
True that!! thanks for the comment:)
bannanapancake
It sounds like a chopper.
Go chop around USA!
Enjoy it and always be safe.
Thanks man, have a great week!!
bannanapancake
My 750 now looks like yours. I kept the original gas tank. Enjoy the ride Brother. Be safe.
Brother, your bike is sick and had really inspired me. I have a 02 Honda shadow spirit. already took the front fender and rear off. ordering my pandemonium tank probably Tuesday for sure! Might have to meet up sometime to make a ride. I'm a drummer from Texas and I also part native and really dig the hand grips. Awesome bike!
Steve Vargas -Thanks brother, I'm a drummer too believe it or not.... hahaha, I appreciate the comment, if your ever up in Utah give us a shout, we'd be happy to have you run with us:)
Utah! Awesome, never been. I'll let u know if I'm ever in the area. bet it's cold up there. I'll send some pics once I get the tank on so u can see how it turned out. Thanks agin!
and where the hell is your battery at? u have that pretty well tucked in and hidden
Steve Vargas - sounds good man, have a good holiday;)
Steve Vargas -haha, yeah man, I've had a few people ask about it, maybe I should do a video on it? It's tucked under neath the swing arm very carefully
Thanks, I did'nt know a raw steel tank looked so cool.
They're not for everyone, but they do have an appeal. Thanks for your comment
Your builds are great not for everyone but great I love them build more bro you have skills.
I really appreciate the "not for everyone" part...I know its not the prettiest bike out there, but its me on two wheels. Thanks for the comment:)
@@bannanapancake I'm working on a 95 magna and your work is insane. I love them.
Andre Moruzzi - best of luck with your ride, be safe man;)
@@bannanapancake thank you and likewise.
Great looking bike man! Keep up the passion and willingness to help other people!
Anytime man, I'll be around:)
Looks good. The tank looks good.
Though the springers take away a lot of the sleek look. Maybe take those off and replace them with struts. Just an idea.
If you're going with sleek, use the VT600 softtail.
The paint job looks absolutely amazing. Keep up the good work.
Thanks for the comment, I agree those 600's are pretty tasteful when it comes to sleek and a petiteness factor, when I got this 750, it was almost buried in the ground. I had to retap almost every major hole in the bike and it seemed there was a problem around every corner I got a screaming deal on it though so I couldn't pass it up. It had some hard struts on it when I got it, the way they were put together I'm surprised no one killed themselves, I did a lot of years doing concrete and packing drywall, didn't care a lot for the hardtails (guess im not hardcore!!) so I went back to springers....painting the bike was the funnest part about it for me(at least on this one) Thanks for your view and insight!
Sick shadow starting to build one I just bought
totally agree on using the original ugly bulky tanks,
on any of the cb, vx, vj, vt, any of them look better bobber or cafe racer with a different or modified tank, i'm trying to build a vtr1000f into a bobber style bike similar to this, re-doing the frame and all.
Raleigh Gelner- that's a lot of work! Sure it will turn out sweet though, nothing is better than taking something you created out for a test run! Good luck with it, keep it rubber side down man!! Thanks for the comment!
I can definitely agree with you on the old tanks not being that nice but i would definitely change because of that petcock
Dylan Moorman- yeah, you learn along the way that's for sure;)
Ok, you have custom for yourself and I respect that. Now is your turn to respect my BIG tank. I like bubble tank and bubble front tire.
to each his own!! thanks for the comment
Digging the bike and the color scheme
Thanks, its not for everyone for sure, but I appreciate it for sure
WOW..I totally dig it. She looks hot. I have an 85 vt500 that I bobbed. I'm still working on it. I just have a few things left to do. Peanut tank is one them. Just finished installing 1500 Vulcan floor boards on it.
Now what I'm about to say is not meant to be mean or disrespectful, but I'm gonna say it in the same way you stated it about the tank. I agree with the gas tank. The stocker has to go.
The one thing that drives me bat shit crazy is when people Bob a bike and use a solo spring seat kit (BTW LOVE THE SEAT..lol) AND ALSO USE SHOCKS.. Spring solos are meant to be used on a hard tail. (.) But hey that's me. Not trying to judge...lol
I have videos of mine on here too if you wanna check them out so you can critique me too..lol I have about 2-4 videos. I made my own seat pan and covered it (its shown in the videos from this year) but it doesn't look as bad ass as yours.
I DO LOVE THE BOB YOU DID... She looks and sound fucking sweet. Great Job.
God Bless Brother.
Yeah, I get the whole springer seat thing, I've done concrete and drywall my whole life, I still got a strong back, but I throw it out riding sometimes and it takes a week to heal... hahaha, so I try and get all the cush I can get, I'm an old man!I totally get what you're saying though, I appreciate the comment, rubber side down man! thanks for the comment:))
Thanks for being cool about it..lol I hear ya on the sheet rock. I did it for 8 years. My head still hurts...lol
I'm in my 40s so I feel ya on the back thing. After I get the Frisco tank installed 'll post another pic. Should have it Friday. Keep the shiny side up.
man, you killed it! especially that bomber sound.
?????I should narrate or something....(I think that's what you were talking about? ) haha, thanks for the comment!!
I guess it just preference, old tank is good for me.
It didn't bother any one else that the tank is higher then the bars?
jaycub adam- 2 of my friends will side with you on that, the flipped and down turn bars are what racers used to do back in the 30's and 40's for their board track racers, it was a cheap alternative to get them at a lower position. This bike is a belly pusher for sure. Thanks for your comment;)
I mean it's a pretty bike man I'm not hating on it or nothing but hell man thanks for the response
jaycub adam - haha, no man it's cool, even if you didn't like it I would appreciate your comment and your sincerity, it already has dislikes so someone doesn't like it... or me? Hahaha! Have a great holiday, rubber side down man!;)
Lmao you 2 man...you got yourself a subscriber!
jaycub adam- haha, thanks;)
Dude really appreciate this video, sold me on everything
Cool, glad it could help someone:)
hey man cool vid. love the bike. I noticed your front cylinder when you removed you stock airbox it leaves a ugly spot. if you buy a cover for the real left and swap them all you gata do is cut out for the exhaust. looks better. but a few of the bolt holes don't line up but overall I think it's a better look. stay safe.
yeah, thought many times about it myself.. your right, would look a lot better for sure thanks for the comment.
Love it. You did a great job all aroud. Way to try and help people too, I may have to email you when I get going on mine.
I'll be around:) thanks for the comment
Mint that's what i call love for bikes chur bro keep it up
Hey thanks for the kind words, I appreciate it!
your bike really makes me miss mine dope bike i loved my Honda vt750
Tyler powell - I can appreciate that:) maybe someday you'll grab another one yeah? Thanks for your comment:)
Friggin love the bikes now I really enjoy bikes but suck at build part of it usually just ride stock or minor easy bolt mods . But I really have wanted a bonnet forever now is it tough for someone with no build experience to do this.
i get that, but i started from nowhere too... just got to get in there and be methodical and take notes and hope that you don't make to many mistakes..
Best darn 750s I've seen ...How is the acid treated tank holding up?? How do I achieve similar results... Phosphoric acid? Then clear coat?
Truly humbled, thank you! its not for everyone thats for sure. We used a Metal Aging Solution for that tank, there's a lot of manufactures out there that make the stuff, the trick is to watch it carefully as it gets older by the literal minute> Id take a test piece of steel and play around with it first and get to see how it reacts to that before you go with the tank right? you can however, take some light grit sand paper with water and sand the harshness out if it gets away from you, then yes, Clear coat. hope that helps some.
Totally good guy no bull interesting I'm looking at doing a build with my father and this is very interesting thanks
No worries, glad you liked it.
bro that 750 looks nice keep the videos coming
Joseph Leal - Thanks man, thanks for the view:)
Hey man... I just found your channel a few days ago and I'm really digging it. I sent you a pm, but then realized it's such a weird process to check your messages anymore you might never see it. Anyway... just wanted to encourage you to make more videos.
FamousByFriday - I actually found it after I saw this message in the spam folder, sorry man, google wouldn't send a reply either. I appreciate the kind words brother. I do so many different things (seriously) most of them aren't depicted on this channel. I'm sort of a "jack of all trades a master of none" I tell people not to worry about subbing (and I actually mean it) for a few reasons; 1. Not trying to get rich. 2; I'd hate for people to get videos from me they have no interest in (feel like I'm bothering people, and I'm respecter of people's interest's and privacy) so I'm going to have to start another channel or something!!!! Some people like motorcycles, but not everyone likes bows, trains, cycling, RC, history, music and what ever else, probably shouldn't worry about it, but I saw a lady up in Alaska doing other video after video on random stuff, and it was weird to me... I was thinking in my head is here a theme to your channel? Ida know, trying to figure out how to handle this channel in he future. Hope that helps some;) have a good Christmas!
bannanapancake See... I don't feel like having many different interests is a bad thing. Everyone has to find their format, but I feel like people limit themselves.
FamousByFriday - that's a crazy good point. I'll figure out a way to handle this soon...
Love that copper paint damn
thanks man, the way I see it you'll either hate this bike or love it, guess thats why its not grey..haha
Hands down the best metric chopper/bobber builds on RUclips! Great job, subscribed. Where are you located?
Shane159 -- Hey, I really appreciate that, there labors of love for sure:) were up here in northern Utah
Things sweet I just picked up a 750
Thnx:)
shit that bike is beautiful, definitely gonna have to get a seat and grips made by you one day, you got quite the talent for those!
MazeTheHusky - Hey thanks brother;) I appreciate the comment, Have a good holiday!
love the copper tone and the blacked out cylinders with silver fins. Nice that you personalised that seat with your native heritage. And ... you're running dual carbs! I'm bobbing a 600 Shadow with dual carbs. Most of the forums are all American and they typically only have the single carb version. I'm hoping that a rejet will be enough to prevent flat spots - did you have to do anything tricky?
Luvin Itall - thanks man, these jet kits are a plug and play kind of thing, depending on the year, they may or may not have one for that carb set up (DNYO-JET) if I remember, I checked them for a 94 600cc shadow, and they didn't seem to have one, but you can always get jets from JETSRUS and step up the sizes for what your needing and tune it from there. We didn't have any problem with these kits, pretty simple just dialing them in takes a few minutes, after that good to go:) hope that helps:)
Thanks for your comment!
awesome - thanks for the quick reply, bud. I'll check out DynoJet and Jetrsrus and crack out the carb-balancer :)
I'm so glad to find a good looking 750. Most bikes I see on RUclips that are bobbed have been 600. But I really like that Pandemoniac tank, I think that's what it's called. I hate the stock tank that comes with the 750s and have been looking for a slimmer alternative. I really like the ones TJ has but they are a pretty penny. I was wonder if you can give me some more info on that tank and also was curious on what you did with the air box and the 2 smaller air filters you got.
Thaks for the comment, check back in a few hours I'm in the process of uploading some "how to's" on tanks for both the 600vlx and 750 spirit, I'm just trying to give people some better options for these bikes. As far as the stock air box...complety gone for the most part, I used a small portion of the intake hoses from the carburetor side to give me the 90 degree angle and then overlayed them with some steel corrugated hoses off of a semi truck to lengthen them to the airbox side. I attached the air filter pods just by sliding them over the steel hoses and clamping them down. you could use a size smaller piece of PVC pipe to connect hose to air pods as well if you need to (best to slide the air filters over the hose/something or whatever you use as not to restrict the air flow right?) hope this helps!! Thanks for your comment!
Dude this is awesome!! I really like the colour combination (also the black spokes and tires with the white letters on them). The sound is great and then: Those shocks and that beautiful seat; Omg. If I were you i'd start a bike channel about this one, I wouldn't be the only one who fucking loves it. Keep it up, I'm hoping for more of this ;)
Blue Collar Power- man, maybe I'll take you up on that, could do a load of videos just on this bike alone, I appreciate the idea. Have a great holiday;)
bannanapancake Thanks! I'd be looking forward to that ;) Greets from the mad old Holland
Job well done! Great looking ride!
Humbled... thanks man and have a great week:)
Great job on that! Looks fantastic.
Thomas Sampson - thanks man, I appreciate it:)
hope you could post POV rides with that beauty. and thanks for being so elaborative. seeing your bike is like my daily dose of good vibes.
I need to get some vids riding it for sure, glad I could help in some way.... have a great weekend!
Wow! Looks amazing.
great job...both bikes look awesome!!!
dirt41gto - Hey thanks man, appreciate it, thanks for the view too;)
Sorry if I missed it, but has anyone asked about the pipes? Are they the original pipes modified? And I didn't see a speedo. Did you relocate an aftermarket one? If not, what are your suggestions for an aftermarket speedometer? Can't tell you how much of a life saver your videos are. I sold my Harley chopper a while back, and have had a 2003 VT750dc sitting in the garage and have been torn between trying to customize it somehow or sell it. After seeing your bike I know exactly what to do with it now! Keep it! Thanks for your videos.
matthew weller -hey man, I ride a really stripped down bike. I don't have a speedometer, I usually just keep with the flow of traffic, I have a CDL, so I can't afford to mess around with my license to much (speeding tickets). The pipes are aftermarket yes. I hope this helps some, don't worry about asking questions, love to help where I can thanks;)
How do you track your mileage? Or do you just not worry about it? Also do you have a page with pictures of your builds?
matthew weller -I don't worry much about the mileage, if I needed to I'm sure there's an app that could tell me everything I needed, as far as mileage and oil changes? You can tell when oil starts to lose its natural color or its sat a long time, might be good to change it out..
I don't have a page with pictures, I have a lot of them, just haven't posted them as any kind of documentation.
great bikes, great guy. i watch and subscribed simply because you build bikes you like and dont have an ego. I just purchased a kawasaki eliminator, lets see what i do!
lourd 555 - sounds great man! I appreciate the comment, and best of luck with the build;)
It's great broo... the sound is amazing
akbar sidiq rojali - Thanks man! I appreciate it, have a good day;)
Lovely bike mate thing of beauty!
Simon W - Hey thanks man;) I really appreciate it;))
Love the bike!
Wish someone would make a cool 2-up non hardtail bike..
Thanks man, much appreciated.
I know this is an old video but if your still around answering the comments I'd like to know where you purchased those flexible pod hoses that attach to carburetor. Thanks!
I'm still around and sorry for the late reply..those are infact Air Diesel Heater Tubing stainless steel (Google). I think you might be able to snag them off of Amazon. Hope that helps.
Me personally the tank sitting high like that and above the handlebars doesn’t look near as good with the stock tank. Even with it wide if you set your bobber up correctly it’ll look mean af 👌
Fair enough!
Hey man nice bike!!! Looking to do something like that on cb750 In the near future... respect from little red river reserve Saskatchewan Canada!!!
good luck with it!! and keep it rubber side down yeah? be safe brother!!
baddddd sir. love it
Steve Mejia - thanks Steve;)
bannanapancake if you where to sell the bike today, how much would u ask for it
Sick bike man. Is that the stock exhaust with different mufflers??
Also I always wanted to try fork mounted bars on my 750, I realize yours aren't fork mounted, but about the same height as they would be.
Is the ride pretty uncomfortable or bearable??
Hey thanks for the comment, there aftermarket exhaust all around yeah..
just picture yourself sitting on the stairs and how you would sit, thats how it feels, although you wouldn't want to sit like that forever it can get uncomfortable after a hour or so. I like it, I know some don't, but i model it after old school board track racers and that the stance I like, hope that helps:)
@@bannanapancake thanks bro!
Looks phenomenal. I've got a 1967 Honda that's been modified and turned into a bobber but would like to modify more. You mentioned email but I can't find it anywhere. Any possibility you can reply with your contact info so I can get in touch with you and send you pics of my bike for your suggestions. Thanks
Hey sorry for the late reply, you can get a hold of me through:
dudewhatthesmackisthat82@gmail.com
That is good,,,I am a short man I am thinking 500 even an old 400cc, thanks I will find
Glad you liked it:) good luck with your purchase
That’s nice brother
Thanks man
DUDE YOUR BIKES ARE SICK! also all love the native american flavor (:
Rockabilly Rambler - Thanks man;) appreciate the comment!
When are you going to post more content? How’s your bike? Anything new with it? What projects are you working on?
Winter is a little slow for bikes, mainly been doing other things right now..ill start in the late spring, this is why I don't want people to subscribe... Im not that interesting!! haha, thanks for checking in though:)
Sick build bro
Its not for everyone..You either like or you don't!! I appreciate it though. still running strong
good video bro i just subscribed cuz of how you presented this video keep it going!
Kristopher Barwick - thanks man, most of my videos I try and do 101 if you know what I mean... thanks for the comment:)
How is it that the bikes tank is so upright? is it just because the frame isnt really between the split of the tank? Sorry if this is a dumb question, ive been wanting to build a bobber and i really like the look/shape of this one here.
Cheh Mendez - Hey man, this particular bike has a nasty square top tube.. horrible design, but I don't think Honda intended anyone to really see it. These types of tanks are designed with a saddle in the middle to accommodate a round top tube, check out my other video explaining how to install this type of tank, it will make more sense to you. I hope this helps some;) thanks for he comment!
@bannanapancakes I like the tanks alot, but they don’t come lined. What do you use to line your tanks with?
There's a product called "Red Kote" you should use, just make sure to follow directions really well (and RUclips) and you should be golden. hope that helps
@bannanapancake that looks really good, but im wondering if you still have the fuel pump or if youre gravity feeding to the carb. i wanted to make mine gravity fed but was wondering if it was possible.
Fuel pump is still there, you could probably get away with a gravity fed for a and idle then some, but those vacuums pull in a bit of fuel when you get up and go. The fuel pump aids with how much fuel is hanging around in the float bowl for moments like that. thanks for the comment:)
fair enough. ive literally encountered this haha. its annoying cuz the petcock is so close to the carb haha
Well done, brother.
Thanks man, Have a good weekend
If you don't mind me asking, what mods did you do to the rear of the frame? Shocks, swingarm?
This is the first Shadow "bobber" I've seen that I like. Rigid rear frames are apparently non existent, and other bobber kits I've seen for the Shadow 750 don't apeal to me. You got it right.
Charles, sorry for the late reply..
Well, I hope you're not too disappointed, but the rear is only lowered (via shock mount) everything else of what you asked? is stock. If I hadn't worked drywall and cement work in my early days? I might have gone rigid. I do Like them, but Ive also seen guys almost lose it on the road because of bumps.
In my best Scotty Kilmer Voice...."Shocks keep the wheels on the ground!!"
hope that helps.
@@bannanapancake yeah I've owned 3 rigids. All Harleys. They can be unsafe. The little 750 Shadow is the only metric cruiser I like to ride. The others have quirky handling of one sort of another. Thanks for the information. What you did to the bike really looks good. Sometimes people can over engineer a project when the results you want can be kept simple. I may not get to mod this bike though. Someone I work with wants to buy it. ☹️
@@charlesharper7292 - yeah, that bike is still going strong, gets some looks here and there, it’s definitely a bike tour either going to like or hate, and I’ve had both conversations! Metrics are reliable for sure, but I fully understand why a lot of people love standards as well.
@@bannanapancake I worked as a mechanic for Honda back in the 80s, and have now been working for Harley Davidson for 18 years. I hear it all the time, " if it ain't Harley it ain't 💩!" Man those people are missing out! There's too many cool bikes out there to go around with blinders on, and I won't be tattooing any of them on my body. I have 12 bikes, only 3 are Harleys. I do appreciate Harley Davidson history, but dig into Honda's history. Very cool. Thanks brother.
@@charlesharper7292 I hear all of that!! Best of luck to you! And be safe out there!
This looks SOOOooo badass. Sounds equally as badass. My Shadow is stock so looks boring compared to this. What year Harley is that ? :)
LOL!
hey man nice bike I am building a 96 vt1100 and was wondering how you did the air intake on your 750 since they both are about the same dual set up
I have a video on my channel explaining it (If you already haven't seen it yet?) that should help you with that hopefully:)
Outstanding sound!
Thanks Carlos, have a great weekend
So cool! I wish I could build my own. I rode speed bikes for over 10 years and am so done with that kind of riding and the plastic everywhere. I'm from Europe, different culture over there (more chicks, it's very common, not a big deal). I'm getting my riding licence in the US/California this month and hopefully get a bike as cool as this bobber.
Your bike looks rad man. Very nice job. Did you do the whole job yourself? Cutting the frame, welding, and so? What year is this? I like the acid treatment gas tank. The end result is great.
Amélie Bellefille - Hey thanks for the comment;) this bike was a rust bucket when I bought it. I usually can knock out one of these bikes in about a month with no other distractions, but this one took around 7 cause the shape it was in, I did all the work myself, I kept he frame stock and only welded what I needed to. The bike is a 2007, hope this helps;)
Totally. Thanks!
Nice looking bike!
Thanks man, I appreciate it:)
@@bannanapancake I'm looking at getting one. It's always nice to have some inspiration for possible mods 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
👊🏻✊🏻
Yeah, as you can see its not going to be for everyone, but I appreciate it non the less:) if you ever need help, I'm here to help:)
Love the build and paintjob, what’s the build year , 90’s or 00’s ? And if you ride , the tank hight is not bothering you with taking turns etc ?
The bike is an o6, the tank has NEVER been an issue with riding, a lot of old heads that ride standards call this type of bike a belly pusher.. look up BOARD TRACK RACING and see the stance that those guys used similar in nature to this bike:) thanks for the comment:)
I thought that I had replied to this a week ago turns out that I didn't, sorry about that...Its a 07. The tank doesn't bother me at all, Its styled after a board track racer of sorts. Its about getting a old school lowered stance, hope this helps
This is great- I am working on an 01 750 Shadow Spirit right now and want to go with this look ... Will a Pandemonium Frstr peanut tank work? Also - I love the ice cream maker deal ... but where is the battery located???
The frame should have similar properties to the one in this video, they didn't make a whole lot of changes throughout the years of production, so the tank should be able to fit, I have other videos explaining how this is done on my channel.
The battery is located on the down tube at the bottom just in front of the rear wheel, we have a small tray welded on there to hold the it (battery) hope this helps.
I realize this is a old post but was wondering what you did for a speedo or did you just leave it off??
Sorry for the late reply, I left it off..some guys put it down by the head tube sometimes.
Sweet bike man! Thanks for the video
Cisco Aldana - thanks brother! Have a great day;)
not sure if anyone asked but did you by any chance post a video of how to install the pandemonium tank on a shadow 750?
Richard c - Yeah (you might have found it in my channel already) I've got a video for both a 600 and 750;)
Dude, that bike is sick assed, awesome! Is that copper plating on the engine? I have a 95 Suzuki Intruder and have been thinking about doing some copper planting on it. Any info would be appreciated.
Hey, that plating is actually a high heat automotive paint on the covers. It's held up really well. hope that helped some
bannanapancake I am going to look into that paint. It looks great and sounds much easier that copper plating. Thanks.
I'd not buy harley if it had this peanut tank that is iconic yes but waaaay too small and loosing a bit of fuel on a tank that gives 80 miles range would make me driving from one petrol station to another one....fuel is not something I'd want to worry about..for me the bigger the bette.
hey, thanks for the comment, I agree with you...it's mainly an around town bike for sure, all for looks mostly!
Peter Yuhas
Yepper. A bigger tank takes you farther. That seat is really ugly and the bike with short fenders would look better.
Hello
I installed one of those ice cream maker what you have , diameter approx. is 5 inches , so I could fit my old battery. I went to the store and got smaller one that would fit, but now that battery is dying all the times. My stater and rectifier are in working condition. It only started after I got a smaller lead-acid battery in order to fit ice cream maker.
Did you put some kind of lithium battery like Antigravity 8 cell. I think this should fit for sure .
I have Yamaha vstar 650.
Thank you for the help.
Gotcha, I'm not running a micro-battery, I have a normal motorcycle battery that sits up underneath the frame by the back wheel. I don't know if I would put the battery in that tin casing unless you could guarantee the points wouldn't cross each other with the tin being so close...even rubber caps might be a bit sketch. The heat that could build up in there might not be the best for it either. Might wanna check your key switch, kill switch, and possibly your starter relay. make sure all of those are free from corrosion and are showing good polarity. hope this helps some.
Oh I see now , before I was like, how is it possible to put battery inside hahaha . Now it make sense, I will attach some where my old battery.
Thank you so much again for the help !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
