This is my bike. I've had it since I was 16 (currently 23) and decided just last year, I was bored with it. At that point it was a 1985 Honda Shadow VT500C, still is I suppose, but then 2 friends and myself started looking it over and decided to tear it up.

We took off turn signals first then started taking off the seat to get a good look at the bike without the bulky thing. We decided to shave the bulky bucket seat down to a single seat that you see here. Then a friend of mine wanted to try something, always wanted to try this. We stripped the handle bars and flipped them upside down. I tried it out and decided that I love it and that it really has made the bike. We then proceeded to bob the back end. After this picture we also took off the center stand and the muffler, then heat wrapped the pipes. As it is only 500cc, it is tiny, but it screams like a banshee. We have lovingly dubed it the Bullpup. Any suggestions would be great, I'll keep you posted as I continue to finish this work in progress.
