'88 Honda VT1100 Bobber
My buddy Chris asked me to customize his Honda Shadow into a nice Bobber.
He already bought some parts and put them on temporarily to see the shape.
The first thing I did was thoroughly clean the bike so I could see which parts would need a new layer of paint.
First in this video is the disassembly of the bike. After partially disassembling I cut off the passenger footpegs with an angle grinder, smoothed the frame tubes, removed the helmet hook, and welded those holes.
The long rear frame ends, with the attach points for the original rear fender, where then shortened and grind into a nice shape. After I made some covers for those frame ends (1,5mm sheet metal), I TIG welded them onto the frame.
When those were welded I started on the rear fender which Chris already bought. I've cut it in the desired shape and made stainless steel brackets to the rear swing-arm. As you see in the video I put in 3 big nuts to the inside of the fender to keep the same clearance between the fender and rear tire.
Next up: the speedometer bracket. Cut the original bracket and welded a nice bracket to fit the shape of the bike.
The wiring of the bike was an easy to fix job, only needed to reroute the starting knob, headlight, taillight and brake signal wiring.

Complete rebuild of the bike!
Dutch translation:
Chris vroeg me om zijn motor om te bouwen naar een mooie Bobber.
Zelf had hij al een aantal onderdelen gekocht en er tijdelijk opgezet om de vorm een beetje te zien.
Het eerste wat ik deed is het compleet schoonmaken van de motor om goed te kunnen bepalen welke delen allemaal opnieuw in de lak moesten.
De video begint met het deels demonteren van de motor. Daarna heb ik de passagier voetsteunen eraf geslepen, de frame buizen glad geslepen, helm haak gedemonteerd en deze gaten dichtgelast.
De lange delen van het subframe waaraan het originele achterspatbord ook bevestigd was, zijn ingekort en in een mooie vorm geslepen. Nadat ik een paar mooie eindstukken had gemaakt (van 1,5mm plaatstaal) heb ik deze met TIG op het frame gelast.
Toen deze gelast waren ben ik begonnen met het op maat maken van het achterspatbord die Chris zelf al gekocht had. Het spatbord is bevestigd aan de achterbrug met mooie RVS beugels.
Zoals je in de video ziet plaats ik 3 grote moeren aan de binnenkant van het spatbord, dit is om overal dezelfde ruimte te houden tussen het spatbord en de achterband.
Vervolgens ben ik een km-teller beugel gaan maken. De originele heb ik afgeslepen en hieraan heb ik een mooie beugel gelast die goed bij het uiterlijk van de motor past.
De bedrading was zo voor elkaar, aangezien het alleen om de bedrading van de startknop, koplamp, achterlicht en signaal van het remlicht ging.

Thank you for watching, we hope you've enjoyed it.
Keep on building!

Raw Metal Racers - Built To Perfection -
It's good to see people repurposing bikes, not just parking them and buying the next shiny thing. There are a lot of good engines rotting away because of fairing damage or a bent rim.
Gets you off on the right foot budget wise too often times. As opposed to say, buying a new bike to start with. Of course some could look at that as short changing potential customers but not really, if : you are honest about the origin of the doner bike. Or you still are and do a total rebuild of the mechanical end. Don't laugh. Not everyone does. Still, if it's a stock Triumph some people will still whine that it became anything other than a stock restoration. For some sticking a hardtail on a stock Bonneville is like a dagger thru the heart.
Lindo trabalho estou impressionado com o talento da moto
Great job :-) greetings from Poland
what fork and yoke did you use? is this the original?
And do you know a fueltank from a 1988 fits on a 1985 frame?
This is a awsome bike...
Hi Richy,
Thanks mate!
These are the original forks and yoke. I think the frames are quite identical, so it wil probably fit without massive modifications. Maybe another mounting lug, and that’s it.
@@RawMetalRacers thnx 💪🏼
A shadow of a Beemer.
Ok. I gotta ask. Did you drill and tap your frame for your seat pan?
We’ve drilled holes and then put some rivet nuts in them.
@@RawMetalRacers
Awesome! I was just curious. Bike looks great! You inspired me to start my own build. Of course, i don't have anywhere near the tooling you have but i am trying to get to your level one day
Good to hear that! Everyone has to start somewhere. Just remember to enjoy every moment✌🏻
What kind of welding machine do you use?
I’ve got a Lincoln V305 AC DC
Friend, could this bike be fitted with a peanut tank? And would it look good?
The frame has two tubes at the top, so it’s quite wide. That’s probably why you don’t see them with a peanut tank
What rear fender is that? I neeeeed it
I have the exact same bike and I'm putting 13" tall bars on it. Can't find extended throttle cables and hoses anywhere, where did your buddy/you get those?
Dylan, for the throttle cables and brake hoses you’ve got universal pieces in every length!
I use MKX for brake lines. They have brake lines where you can put on any swivel you want.
I love your content. Im currently in the works trying to make my shadow phantom bobber project as well. I’m looking for a new custom speedometer gauge that can be attached to the handlebars. Do you have any recommendations?
Santiago Brazeiro good to hear mate! I personally haven’t mount a handlebar speedometer yet, so I don’t have recommendations!

masterpiece
Como quedaría una shadown con llanta ancha como una breakout?
Ну куда такой высокий руль?😮 типа.... руки вверх - покажите подмышки😀😀😀!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Awesome video brother
can you get the rear fender blank?
Wat voor een borgmoer gebruikte je voor het achterspatbord als afstand tussen wiel en spatbord?
Pindaaman volgens mij heb ik hier M12 moeren voor gebruikt, maar tegenwoordig pak ik een motor ketting om de afstand te bepalen, deze leg ik over het midden van het wiel!
@@RawMetalRacers thanks je voor je reactie. Subje erbij
What thickness metal would you use to make seat pan, electrical, and battery boxes?
"Road sign" aluminum works well for all that ! Its about 1/8" thick. Or 10ga.
If using steel,12ga. Is good for seat pan.
18ga. Is good for the rest.
Why is it soooo hard to find a replacement gas tank for these bikes!???
John Valenzuela John Valenzuela this is still the original gas tank!
Good job 👍,
"Sv "
why put your protective glasses on the camera?
Super bike
Soon as I saw the kugel ape hangers LOL new it was a phony
What rear fender is that?
It's custom made Lucas, no kit you can buy somewhere.
Handlebars are not high enough
Lmao 😆
Can a tanke peanut be installed on that bike?
You probably could, but you’ll have to modify it. The frame of the VT1100 consists of 2 tubes below the tank, a peanut tank is mostly made for a single tube frame!
Raw Metal Racers If you're right but as I've seen many videos of 650 slings with that tanke I thought I could also see it ok thank you very much
Love the video, where do i get a RMR Cap from?
Kelly Brits , Thanks!
The RMR cap is already made in several colors, but I'm working on a website/Webshop to sell them.
But if you send me an email with your home address in it, I will send you the different models so you can choose!
My email: stefanvdriet@home.nl
Cheers!
Where is your shop
scott anderson, my shop is in the south of The Netherlands!
🇹🇭🙏❤️🙏
Nice vid. But welding with the gas tank is a little dangerous.
Thanks mate! Welding is always done with the tank empty and ventilated for a long time with pressurized air.
@@RawMetalRacers oh ok. It had me worried there lol.
Pussy.
