the design of a springer frontend

Well I have benn kicking around ideas on what to do on the front of the 87 shadow junkyard save and I have had some good ideas such as putting a Honda 250 rebel frontend on her it would look good and definitely slam the front down enough butt I dont know. Then I though well ill just use the front forks off -a old dirt bike I mean parts bikes are all over the place everyone has one laying around. Humm or I could just use the stock front end and just shave off all the extra mounts Polish it rebuild the seals and there I would have a stock frontend so there is my three options humm what to do?? Well I checked Around for parts bikes both rebel 250 and old Honda dirt bikes and I found a hole bunch of great stuff man I tell ya butt of course spending the cash on a parts bike was well not ok with me yet. So I checked out how much to rebuild the stock shadow forks then weight out the time I would have in machineing and polishing well it just didn't seam write because for them prices I could buy the material to build a Springer! So here we go I'm gona do it I have ben drawing and design a new mayhem Springer front end and I Cant wate to actually start fabricating this beauty and yes I'm building two of them so I can put it out on the market. I tell ya I have benn trying for a wile now to find the write time and bike to do this and the time is now and the bike is the 1987 Honda shadow junkyard save! O but dont worry the second one wont be for a shadow I'm leaving that part open still so if anyone wants one let me know what u got. Well I'm still a few weeks out but ill have some sneak peaks very soon

****1987 Honda shadow 700 chopper junkyard save****

I found this 1987 Honda shadow threw a friend that owned a little motorcycle repair shop in socal. It had benn down preaty hard and at first I had thought. It would be a quick and simple short chop with alittle straighting here and there .Well once I started to get in to it well all I had left was a head tube and the lower shaft drive stock mount. Well hell I sed I ges I'm building a frame and it started there .Before to long I had a full custom shadow chopper frame. I moved the head tube 4" out and 3" up wich made her a low bitch .and wen it came to mounting the shaft drive mid section it took some fancy tube and plating. With the big 700 v-twin Honda motor the carbs are side by each write on top so I made the main tube radius and fit it as close as I could to the carbs wile still beaing able to take them off without pulling the motor. After adding various gussets and tubes to up hold the integrity of the frame I started with the custom forward controls such as a custom foot break and shifter also custom foot pegs. Then by skinning down the wiring I built a ignition box to hide all the relays and ignitors .then moved to the back and found a old front fender I had and chopped it up and worked it on the pleneshing hammer to make it fit then tabbed up a sissy bar with bullet mounts to the frame. After all that I custom built a seat I call "the nut pad" and had it wrapped. I still have more to do yet I'm trying to decid if I'm gona build a Springer front end I dont know hummm probably!!!!

1979 Yamaha redo

I got this bike a few years back from some Guy in long beach CA I had it two days and did a short chop on and lowered it 3" and fabed up a new seat I used the old rear fender and mounted it up short. I took a drive down to the local auto parts store and got a set of the smallest red trailer lights and mounted them on the rear fender also at the parts I picked up a license plate light and fabed up a crafty plate mount that I mounted to the swing arm. On the front I yarded off the spedo and Rachel and softened up the damping and and dropped the fork tubes 2" and took off the front fender.And with a can of black spray paint as one of my friends called it THE L-BOBBRINO was born!! And I rode the crap out of it.
Well not to long ago I decided it was time to make it better and here we are today almost done
