Honda Shadow VLX 600 Bobber, Peanut Tank

The bike you see here is done locally to me in Southern California out in Huntington Beach.  I drool over these pics everytime I look at them.  The Honda Shadow really looks good with its mock hard tail frame, but once you lower that bitch and throw on a Harley peanut tank, its a whole new ball game.  You're all probably wondering why I'm jizzing in my pants over this bike. Well the implications were that, first, he's local.  Second, I can have a rig that looked something that cool.  The guy that built these goes by the name of TJ and you can check out his blog here at TJBC.  For a fair price, he'll hook you up with a peanut tank that'll sit on your VLX dual backbone frame all frisco like.  He's a pretty stand up guy from my interactions with him.  Very professional.  I just never had the chance to pull the trigger on it.

The pic above was the first I ever saw of his work and remember starring at it for a good hour on and off.  My wife thought I had gone full retard.  You never go full retard.  That's the effect it had on me.  Not even the cool brat style Japanese VLX's had anything on this.  Anyhow, the more I dug, the more pics I unearthed.  All my hard work is here for you to see.  The owner eventually painted it red and can be reached at Shadowriders.net  Anyway, enjoy.   If you ever get the chance to hit up TJ for a tank, I'd love to see some pics.

Eventually he went full hard tail and he even mounted up a vintage Firestone up front.  That just sealed the deal.

Stick around for more cool VLX bobbers.  Although mine is gone, I still love checking them out.  I've found a couple others that I think are pretty nice that I'll post up.  For now, my attention span has ended.
