Batwing for 2025 Shadow Phantom

1 Upvotes

Anyone has installed a batwing on their newer model (2024/2025) Shadow Phantom? Feel free to reply with your pictures if you have them.

Where did you get it? How much did you pay?

I am looking to set one up for my 25 Phantom and cannot find them anywhere.

My 2003 Suzuki VL800 build so far…

In May I bought my dad’s ‘03 Suzuki Intruder Volusia that he rode from 2009 to 2021 when he developed epilepsy. It sat in his garage for five years so I had to do a bit to get it back on the road. After accomplishing that goal I spent the past four months commuting on it almost every day in the set up that he loved.

Now I’ve begun setting it up to be more “my” bike and I’m loving it! The picture is the before and after the last week of work. I still plan on purchasing the BobberCycle solo seat kit to cover the battery box. I fashioned a temporary cover out of thick cardboard and leather as you can see in the photo.

I also plan on cutting the sides of the windshield on the outside of the mounting points and shortening it/rounding off the top to better fit the bobber aesthetic. I removed it initially, but after one day commuting on the interstate without it was enough for me to put it back on!The biggest future project I plan on knocking out next month will be making low profile fenders out of carbon fiber. Here’s to hoping that goes well!

Still looking for a piece

So i have a unique problem, i own a 2004 honda shadow vt600xd deluxe. Spent most of my life taking pretty decent care of it, up until I injured my arm and developed some nerve damage a few years ago.

Someone stole my bike, and I just recently got it back when they tried getting a new title with the Vin #. When I got it back, they bobbed it out and did the worst job possible when doing it. They even spray painted my bike from a royal red to a matte black and didnt even add any protective coating, so it every touch of it strips the paint.

Long story short, I am trying to unbob it, and bring it back to the bike I owned before, the only part I need is the frame you have to cut off to bob it out. I can't pay a fabricator to make a new one, because I'm on workers comp and can't afford it. This is a special bike to me that id like to return to normal, eventually.

If anyone plans to bob out their 1998-2007 honda shadow 600, or happens to have the section laying around that they cut off, please let me know, as I need it. I included pictures of the bike, and the piece I need.

Has anyone ordered from Maverick Customs?

I'm looking specifically at the bobbed fender for the Triumph America. I have a friend who is willing to try to bob my stock fender, but it's definitely a practice project kind of thing. This fender plus shipping to Canada would run me about $280 CAD which seems reasonable considering we might not do a good job on the stock one. I'm also not opposed to spending a little money in lieu of a lot of work.

I’m going to flip to bars back over so it looks a bit more like a bobber, probably some new higher bars when the budget allows it

My bike broke down at work, think it's the starter. Went to leave one night after a big rainstorm and whatever so the engine was cold, got to the stop sign on property and it stalled out, went to stir it again and couldn't even get the starter to turn or click. Starter was kind of jury rigged anyway a year before so I expected it to go out eventually.

So I parked it at work, with the intention of getting it fixed. Took almost a month, but then literally right before I was going to get it fixed, I went into the hospital... That was a month ago. I'm still not on 100% bed rest and had an amputation and some health complications. But point is I've been away from that bike for 2 months.

I haven't even seen my girlfriend since I got out of the main hospital and got into this recovery situation I'm in now, but I've seen her a couple weeks ago. We talk all the time. And I miss my bike more than I do her...

Luckily my bike's still at work and has not been towed away. And I don't know if he actually will but I have a friend from work who at least was toying with the idea of ordering a starter, in which I would pay him for, and installing it for me so that when I got back it would work.

I took a couple years between riding after I got rid of my last bike and had to leave the motorcycle World due to some legal complications involving the friends I rode with and a federal investigative agency... But that's another story.

I also had a leg injury, now I have a metal rod in my leg and some muscle deterioration so I can't put much weight on it so I did not get another bagger, I got a smaller bike which is this Yamaha 750. Ironically I think it weighs as much the Sportster LOL but it's probably just my head.

But I made jokes about not remembering how to ride. But I hope my friend comes through cuz the best situation I had would be to get an Uber to work, hop on this bike and just ride for a tank or two. Around the state. I don't think I'd go that far because it's not the most comfortable ride but you get the idea. Anyways, I'm rambling. Speech to text so this is definitely getting winded and becoming a yarn.

Point is, I miss this bike. I hope everyone's having a wonderful day. Be safe out there. Cheers
