1985 Honda vt1100 questions


  • Hey so I've been watching the videos and I've been looking on the website and there's a few parts for these bikes my questions are related to how customizable are these bikes in comparison to the smaller ones? These are also a shaft driven bike so is it possible to chop this without major issue? Just wondering if anybody else out there has done one of these? Trying to get some ideas and inspiration. Thanks



  • @kennethroberttonseth they are not as easy to customize as say a 600 but it can be done. you can replace the shocks with my hardtail struts and go hardtail or you can fabricate a hardtail. if you go that route, make sure you can remove the hardtail so you can service your shaft drive. You will have major issues if you dont know what youre doing or if you allow the toothless tweaker down the road do it for a case of beer. done right you wont have any issues unless theres preexisting mechanical or electrical problems.
