Slowly but surely, you are all going to convert to shadows

I've seen this one before. I think the only stock part left on it is the motor lol. One bad ass ride.

I dont think he had practical in mind when building it. If he did, it would have been a video of a GZ.

well if i get a shadow its gonna halve to be a vlx the regular ones are way to big for me. when i look at those full size bikes i don't even want to set on them.. i'm not a big guy and i don't want to look like a midget when riding down the street.

the harley sportsters either the nightster 1200, the iron 883, or 883 low those are the only bikes i have found that i like the looks of and have plenty of power and seem to fit me. only problem is getting up the money to buy one, i like the looks of the newest ones but not so much the older ones.

i think one of the fly rite choppers would work, 24 or 25 inch seat height on those, there bad ass bikes but even more expensive

being short sucks.


if only there were custom parts for the gz and a way to make the top speed faster. i like this bike but i don't feel it has enough power to take it on the highway. never know when your gonna need to speed up to get out of the way of something.

Yo guys

I admit of betraying my GZ with wet dreams of Shadows U cant get here for a decent price and the ultra expensive HD's with lots and lots of chrome.

Also - I'm Not a big guy myself - (5-10 / 145 lbs) and I really dont mind looking small on a bike as long as I get the HP on demand.

Problem in Israel with the mid-heavy cruzers is maintnence and insurence. Super expensive...

Btw - beeing short does not suck - as on as your feet reach the ground

Maybe not being able to afford a HD isn't so bad. After all, I bet those air-cooled engines are horrible in the climate you all have over there in Israel.
