1993 Honda Shadow VLX VT600C Bobber Motorcycle

Posted on February 1, 2012 by Matt Storms

This is a great Honda Shadow VLX VT600C bobber motorcycle. As we start this motorcycle from the front to the back it had a great overall look. The front fender has been taken on in true old fashioned bobber style. It looks like the headlight has been painted black with the ring kept in the chrome. The handlebars have been switched out and look cool. The tank has a cool red and white pain job to it that will make the bike stand out. I like the wrapped exhaust pipes that have the bands on the end and have a bit … Continue reading →

Ape Hanger Motorcycle Handlebars

Posted on January 23, 2012 by Matt Storms

Okay, ape hanger motorcycle handlebars vary in size. Some are small and get the job done, others well I think the photos speak for themselves below.

Yamaha XS650 Lime Green Bobber Motorcycle

Posted on January 22, 2012 by Matt Storms

This is a great Yamaha XS650 lime green bobber motorcycle. So lets start out on this bobber motorcycle from the front to the back. The springer front end in chrome is nice. I like the black frame, I cannot tell if it is flat black but I love flat black paint. The handlebars are pretty cool looking, I am not sure if this motorcycle has a suicide shifter on it or not. I like the peanut tank with the small amount of accent piping on it as well as the fender. I think there is just the right amount of chrome on … Continue reading →

Yamaha Virago Bobber Motorcycle

Posted on January 21, 2012 by Matt Storms

Here we have a sweet 1982 Yamaha Virago bobber motorcycle that looks great. There are some safety concerns that I have but oh well we will talk about that at the end. This was Yamaha’s first V-twin cruiser motorcycle engine that they made. The 1982 version was sold with a 750cc engine. The Virago was phased out for the V-Star and the last year a the Yamaha used the Virago name was in 2007. The bike was renamed in 2008 with the V-Star 250. I am a V-Star guy, I ride a V-Star and this was the beginning of that bike. Below we see a … Continue reading →
