This Motorcycle is a 2007 Honda Shadow 750DCA. The bottom picture is the exact condition this project started as. Purchased new and slowly transformed over 2 years, (constrained due to finances), into the image on the top of the page. 44 degrees of rake in the frame with 6 degree triple clamps equals a steep 50 degrees while maintaining proper handling characteristics. Fork tubes are 6 over with 2 over the clamps where the sport bike clip-ons are clamped. Aluminum diamond plate seat pan, marine grade vinyl and high density foam make up the seat. Below the seat, sheet metal was added to enclose the space where the new aluminum battery box, coil mount, and ECU are mounted. The fuel tank idea was taken from the coffin tank style and modified to apply to the overall design of the bike. Almost all plastic and brackets were removed from the frame and engine. All of the modifications were handmade by me, and not premanufactured Bolt on parts. All the welding, including the neck tube modification was performed by Weld-Fab of Gilford, NH. A labor of love.
