2006 Honda Shadow

What was your intended objective when you started the build?

To build a bobber I’d never be able to walk away from without looking back at it

What motivated you to start your project?

I can’t keep anything stock, when I see a vehicle I see potential.

What was the most unique and creative thing you did to the bike?

I don’t think anything can truly be genuinely unique. You can always find something like it somewhere. I like the brass accents.

What are you most proud of?

Over all presence

What do other people say about your motorcycle?

Everybody loves the bike as a whole, and can’t believe I can ride it with the pan seat bolted the the rigid frame.
