Thread of the Day: The "I'll never finish this bike" build ('93 VLX)

Any tips for making upswept exhaust?

[son]

When were you guys in Capitola?... I swear I saw your bikes when I was down there a few months ago... right there parked on the hill coming down overlooking the pier

It was probably us. Capitola is our usual destination when we ride.

Looks great man, love the pipes. What's funny is this bike has inspired me to make another set of T bars for my current Shadow project.

Thanks brotha! Can't wait to see what you do to your bike.

I really like these vlx 600's. I think my next bike will be one. Great Job!!!!

Thank you sir, these shadows are reliable too, I haven't had a single problem with it since day 1

Any tips for making upswept exhaust?

I didn't make them but I would say take your time

"Measure twice, cut once"


Like I mentioned before, this picture inspired a mod for Rusty. Can you guys guess what it is?



If you guessed rear seat then you are correctomundo!



The seat of choice was a Honda Rebel seat I had laying around


Mock up


Doneski


First test ride. She was a happy camper. Riding a bike is something that you truly can't explain, therefore, I wanted to share the experience with my girlfriend.


Late night cruising


All ready for a nice summer cruise to Capitola






Couldn't ask for better weather


The rusted bike is my buddy Young


If you're into shadows, im pretty sure you've seen his bike before

You should put up some close ups of your foot clutch. Might help a buncha guys out. Maybe do a how to.

Some pictures of the bike shot by my buddy Tony Pham

Sorry for the lack of updates. Schools been kicking my ass but in two weeks, I'll be graduating from SFSU


I've always been a fan of midpegs...


Took me about two days to design and build them


Replaced the Rebel rear seat with a Pillion

[son]

Went to the first NorCal cycle swap and came home with a bunch of parts



Trying on the bars that I bought for dirt cheap











Also picked up a king/queen seat






The king/queen look didn't last very long...



Then for my birthday, my girl surprised me with a gift that I've been meaning to get for a LONG time



New front tire!!
