Comments from the seller

'88 VLX400 Shadow Chopped and bobbed. Beautiful custom build done by first owner. I am the third owner, second garaged it for a decent part of its life. I helped bring it back to its former glory. Had had a full carb rebuild and tune, -1year old battery, all fuel lines and oil lines have been replaced, have a set of brand new shinko whitewalls ready for next owner. Many tasteful mods done: -Blacked out chrome wheels and engine -Crazy sounding pipes -bullet indicators -Harley fatboy big tank + speedo -Custom bars -lowered -diamond stitched padded seat -tear drop daytona airfilter -rare chopper break light -Harley rear bag rack -dual horn setup EOI at the moment looking to get back into sports bikes. yes its lams club rego eligible non transferable.
