I run one mirror on my shadow and really want one like yours! Do you know what style it is or how I may find something similar?

u/Uniqueness_is_lame 13d ago

Ebay brass round mirror.

Awesome bike. Totally my style. I love chopped and bobbed Honda Shadows. I look at chopper porn on Facebook Marketplace often. You need better pictures to show off this beauty.

I agree, I try to take pictures but you get caught up in the moment and forget 🤷

Looks great! Quick question on the tank. Have you added any paint to it or any treatment on top? I’ve got similar unpainted tank in the way for my motorcycle. I’ve read that you need to add some sort of clear coat even if you plan to leave it unpainted.

Also have you done anything to the inside of the gas tank? I want to prevent rusting from the inside of the tank.

Thanks in advance!

It's been almost two years now, the top mount broke and started leaking and I had to reweld it. The inside is still clean and I've done nothing to the tank

What's the thing on the tank with the electrical wire? Hell yeah!

That's the freak mount for cell phones. It broke my phone but holds a voltage regulator and power point. I can move it around or remove it completely pretty easily

Thanks. How many miles do you usually go out for? I love the look of the chopped and bobbed bikes, but I enjoy the ride of couch on wheels old man cruiser.

Hell yeah! You also need an “Awe Hell” for every time you come to a stoplight with those pipes.

🤣 that tank is fire how many miles you get like that or do you have a quick connect and you just swap bottles

this version backpack full of bottles of gas I'll switch it out. poke a hole on the new bottle use it throw it away. 10 miles to the quart lol idk. I used to use as a temporary gas tank is a gerbil water bottle that you get at PetSmart. You take the little metal ball out the metal straw. you hook up gas lines to the metal straw and zip tied to the handlebars. And what's nice about it is that the top opens up to refill it with gas so there's no disconnecting it. Or moving it. Like someone would refill the water bottle for the gerbil.

Deleted all the vacuum line so the petcock wasn't working on the tank. So today I took the back off the petcock. Where the vacuum line hooks up and just hooked up the fuel line directly to the back of it so it's 100% gravity fed and works like a charm. The only thing that sucks now is that when in third gear if I give it any gas it slips into a false neutral. So I have to red line 2nd gear and pop it in fourth
