This is Dave's Honda Shadow. He picked it up for £400 and some favours. He will be doing a little modifying including getting rid of the seat.

i like that ;D ;D

That's an awful lot of bike for 4oo quid,well done Dave

Erm - did you mean changing the seat Tazet - or is he going to ride it standing up?

 ;)

hoping to use a small pad type seat with a flat bobber style rear mudgaurd, the rear light will then move down with the numberplate. looking for some yokes to put the fork rake back to normal and have smaller risers with the wide bars, then every bracket and part that dosent need to be there will go, less is best. ;D  looking to get a bobber style hack without going silly in the money department. keep thinking of black with some pinstripes but spray cans are cheaper.                                                                                                                                 

BikerGran...... i could ride with no seat.. with my arse no one would be any the wiser. ;D ;D ;D

Something like these Dave, but with wide flat bars?

i would love one of em , anyone got a harley lump lying around flat head , shovel head not bothered i could easliy despose of it for you or as they call it nowadays recyle  ;D

Hmm, let me check my pockets. Nope. Sorry. Maybe there's one down the back of the sofa.

it that a tolle type front end or just raked yokes?

On Dave's? Raked aftermarket yokes. He's looking for a standard set to return it to normal if you know of some.

hi Draken, there raked yokes, bit knackered when you get up close,bottom yoke pinch bolts holes have had it.trying to find a standard set or i ll have to have a set made with standard rake. also need the chrome airfilter cover, dont want to spend wads on it as its a runneround.

well, ive been busy today, cut all the lugs off the back of the frame and cut the mudgaurd to fit. being a mono shock i couldn t carry the mudgaurd any further round, i ve ordered seat springs and bracket so its just mocked up for now. also have a sparto rear light on order. im seriously thinking of a hand shift with foot clutch,i held the 8 ball gear knob near the tank to see what it looked like.

That looks better Dave  ;D

Lookin' good Dave.  ;D
How did you manage to hold that gearknob & take the photo at the same time?

my mate jake's bobbed fatboy

bobbed by attitude customs

flap...this man wants your trike if it becomes available :)

thats beautifull, my kind of bike, im trying to get that look for a lot less money. ;D got my sparto rear light this morning so the numberplate is staying on the side. anyone know if it has to be on a certain side. its on the pavement side at the mo. im going to substitute the rear shock for a solid bar as the springy seat is enough bouncing for me. just need some standard yokes and nice wide bars.

Bobcat has a sparto rear light and the number plate sits under it quite nicely, at an illegal angle I know and without a little white light but hey  ;)

Was thinking of selling it, but I'm going to keep it for a bit longer, but If I sell it he can have first refusal :) 

Flappy what have you been taking to have thoughts of selling Flapster. Wash your mind out with soap.  :o

Ok Dave took the Shadow to Alton tonight so got some snaps of it.

Is it a good idea to ride a bike that's held together with clothes pegs and string?

Great init  ;D It sounds good, especially when he pulls away hard. Makes you grin type of noise. ;D
