Post Sale Update: After 19 bids on eBay, this Shadow cafe sold for $6,100.

Built by Jason Paul Michaels, this Honda Shadow VT800 (a one-year only bike) was turned into a cafe racer called “Payback.” The paint scheme is reminiscent of iconic Hondas like the Black Bomber, though the riding position is quite a bit more aggressive now!

Highlights of this bike (VIN: 1HFRC3208JA001315) include Tomaselli clipons, EBC brake pads, Dunstall fuel tank/seat/mufflers, a custom chromoly subframe, Progressive rear suspension, LED tailights, and shortened forks with Progressive fork springs. What do you think of how this bike ended up?
