After I sold my C50 bobber to acquire my '09 Nomad, I was left without a bike that advertised my powder coating and bike work, so I purchased a 1994 VLX which I always wanted to bob. It had sat for 12yrs with only 4k miles on it, perfect condition, and I gave just $600 for it as the owner wanted a garage heater more than the bike. This is not a picture of my actual bike, I never took one when I bought it, but this is identical, just a bone stock black '94:

I chose Biltwell Keystones for handlebars along with Avon Air Cushion grips, chucked the front fender, and mounted a Coker tire to the front along with a Wide White Wall rear. The seat is from La Rosa, the subframe chop was done by me. I used a TJBC rear fender and a common sissy bar everyone carries. Exhaust is stock but debaffled, and intake is a pair of velocity stacks ordered from Japan, very hard to find...they have oiled filters at the top making them work even with the CV carbs. The headlights are hand-cast with brass trim rings, and I chose to use two. The side covers are from Blue Collar Bobbers custom ordered in raw metal since I'd be coating them myself. The wheels are Illusion Cherry from Prismatic Powders. Anyway, I made all the desired mods and rode it around a year like this to give it a proper shakedown before teardown:
