Here's my first attempt, just completed. An 86 VT500 "Beaner Bob". I used to make Lowrider bicycles as a kid, so I tried to put some of that into this bike, and loving it! Now I gotta slap some twisted & narrow Z-bars on it.

I like what you did with the 500, saw it on another forum. Is that the stock seat just cut down?

Thanks. The seat pan was actually already a solo and I got it from an '83 Shadow. I reupholstered, cut & ground it down to fit my bike. Also made a bracket to mount it onto the frame.

just take the shaft to a driveshaft shop and have them shorten it. once it is hard tailed you can get rid of the connection housing.

my first chop 2007 Honda S.S 750

here are some pics of my first chop. It went through many changes over the couple years I rode it. It has won a trophy for second place at a local bike show. I recently sold it to purchase my new bike. I miss the shadow was super reliable and never failed me. please let me know what you think!

Here's my shadow bob. it's a 02 spirit 750. just got done with 4800 miles from Yakima Wa to Pittsburgh PA to Dallas TX so she's taken a beating and could use some new paint. I'm looking for new bars, pipes and maybe a few other things to finish it up, I wanna put a new tank on it too, but I got to find a job first to start bringing that money in.
