Looks great! But I think your grill needs a fresh coat of paint too

Now I like that, modify a metric cruiser into a cool but reliable custom bobber!

The first Pic is what it looked like the day I brought it home. It started life as an 03 honda VT750DC, with 3,000mi. I bought it used in 05 and rode it for 5 months. I then wanted somthing different so I just started chopping and painting and went with a few different looks before I found one I liked.

I like how you painted your clutch cover, and i'm guessing your crank case cover. I havent found the guts to take mine off yet.

Love it.
As the chopper guys used to say in the late 70's - it's bit#hing.

The bike looks awesome! Did you use anything as a point of reference or did you just start tearing into it. I have an 83 VT700 that would like to make into a bobber project.

I had an idea, All I knew was I wanted it to look cooler than a harley. I think job well done.
Actually I might not be done yet, Honda is coming out with the shadow RS next month. I want that tank

Stare into me...
Awesome job.
I dig the pipe tape, matte paint and whitewalls.
Love it.
Would drag bars be a "faux pa" here?
I have this "thing" against hangers.....

When I first opened the first pic, I had no idea it wasn't a harley for that first second or two. It's a great job!
