Part one:
'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.
Next video:
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.
Volgende video:
Compleet opbouwen van de motor.
Thank you for watching, we hope you've enjoyed it.
Keep on building!

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.

Nice build but I have to ask, why the high mount seat. You are keeping the shocks why put springs under the seat? Now you have more seat then stock. You would be nice and comfortable with just the solo and you would get a much lower seating position!

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.

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!
