I recommend taking the motorcycle safety course. You'll get cheaper insurance after completing it and you will learn a lot. I wish I took it but too late.
Loved my hardtail! Got too old n injured so i got a fatboy..my rigid was low n my forks were raked. Had a 180 rear tire..when it gets 2 bumpy, take some air outta ur tire..also helps to have a gel or air or spring seat..youll notice instant power to the rear wheel w a hardtail! U got balls cuttin ur frame! Love how u try things..im not so comfortable tryin new things..love the vids bro- keep em comin !!! 😃👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
It’s coming along man. I see it, yeah hard tail is rough man lol your back will not like you but it’s going to look sick. Probably scrape on turns too, just take it easy and you’ll be good.
Hey bud, I built a 79 kz440 bobber very similar. You won’t have a problem scraping on most speed bumps. Suicide shifter is sick as fuck, keep it (I have one too) Mine is a rigid. So no form of suspension at all period. No seat springs. Seat on frame. If I were you I’d put springs 😅
That was sappose to be extra support because the hardtail wouldn't slide into the frame but I eventually got it to slide in so... Yeah I need to cut that off lol
@@VuLes13 the bottom of the front of the tank has a depression (relief) cut in it to affect the angle it sits on the bike frame. Do you know if that depression is 4 or 8cm? I’m finding tanks like yours (looks killer by the way) for sale but they offer both an 8cm and 4cm cut
Vu look 10 years younger with the new haircut
Luke's word of wisdom: "yaa you dont weld in flip flops"
you can if youre asian. you can do anything in flip flops if youre asian. shit my cousin got married in flip flops...
Nice job Vu... she looks sick, cheers

@@VuLes13 I just completed the course yesterday in hayward. Definitely learned alot of new skills 👌 see you out there on the road pretty soon.
I see it! Can’t wait to see the finished product!
I'll definitely convert my shadow into a bobber in the future, this was so helpful, cheers man!
Let me know when you start! I wanna see the progress
@@VuLes13 for sure, will do bro :) almost got my licence now so planning to ride the shadow stock for at least a few months then start the conversion
Love your videos. I’m getting a bike myself next year! Car stuff is old news 😂

The man the myth the legend . Vu le . Wats up my dude . Had to stop wat i was doing jus to see wats going on brother
Looks badass!!!
Awesome!!!! Love it.
How about measurements from the tank bolt to where you cut on both ends will help a lot of people
Loving this build also it’s a bung weld
Looking dope 😤
Sick content it’s good to have something instead of 240sx all the time . Bike is looking good so far 🤙
Thanks man! I'm glad you enjoyed it
Nice build,.. i am curious when the bike is finished
I like that you kept the shock in there until you had the cuts and tubes lines up.
Nearly at a 100k👍👍
The bike is very sick, but i miss the S13 content, when is it coming back?
Bike lookin sick Vu. yo i can picture some other homies in the illiminate crew with bikes to ride with Vu maybe Luke that would be bad ass
Luke's been thinking about it. Hopefully he picks up a bike soon.
Still calling first dips 🤙🏼
Almost at a 100k!! Can you do more 240sx content
As soon as I finish this shadow build 🤟
@@VuLes13 yeeee
Fire 🔥
3:37 I think the term you were looking for was "structural integrity" my g lmao
Love your content , Idk if you already said it or not but what happened to the 240sx
240s are chillin in the backyard. I'll get back to 240 content when I finish this shadow build

Mine is a rigid. So no form of suspension at all period. No seat springs. Seat on frame. If I were you I’d put springs 😅
I just installed the seats with springs, So uncomfortable lol! But it's not bothering me
Gnna be sick
motorcycle cut vests merch coming soon...
Haha I don't think so. Sounds expensive
Very Noice
😘😘😘😘😘
It’s called a plug weld
What gas tank is on this bike? I’m planning a hard tail build and I love this tank
Search honda stead gas tank on eBay
What's that extra metal sleeve piece slid over the new hardtail tube on the right side?
That was sappose to be extra support because the hardtail wouldn't slide into the frame but I eventually got it to slide in so... Yeah I need to cut that off lol
It’s a plug weld
Please go over the welds🙏🏼
I will! Once I take everything apart again and prep for paint.
Welding with flip flops you down asf vu
Gonna go with mid high controls or stick with forward controls?
I'm probably gonna stick with forward. It's kinda comfortable
Had to make a new insta check the dm for the pics
Plug weld i think is what it's called
Did you use a tank with a 4cm or 8cm cut at the front?
Sorry old video and I’m still new to bikes. What do you mean ?

@@jameserickson1330 I’ll check it out when I get home tonight. Still unsure what you’re talking about but I’ll try to figure it out when I get home 😅
@@VuLes13 thank you! Your bike is killer! Just want to do a similar tank on mine 👍
lower the front too?
I kinda like how it is rn
What year shadow is that
1995
Cut it, cut it, you need to cut it
Suh duh.
Looks great bit it's still a Honda
You don't like Hondas?
prepare to buy a kidney belt, hardtails are a bitch
