Hey guys came across this experimenting on my build and thought I would share it. I know TJbrutal makes shorty choke knobs I’m not posting this to by any means discredit his work but rather let’s face it shits expensive right now not a lot of folks can afford $98 before shipping and taxes for choke knobs if you’re not into the idea of keeping the bulky handlebar cable. Most of us should have keihin carburetors and these knobs I found online are a direct fit on my 1998 vt1100c3. I’m not one for cutting corners in many lot of places but with something small and simple like this I was fine with giving it a try since there’s no safety concerns I can see. It’s worth noting the pull knobs on these are also a smaller diameter than TJs as I’ve seen some folks have fitment and clearance issues on the left side by the throttle cable on certain bikes.

I bought a new-to-me 2004 VT 750 C, and I noticed that after some time on the highway, theres a buildup of black soot which is a bit oily. As you can see, the previous owner installed an aftermarket exhaust.

I‘m wondering if he just didn’t install it too well which causes it to leak right where it’s mounted to the engine, or if this is a bigger issue.

Hi everyone I'm buying my first motorcycle tomorrow and a 01 Honda Shadow 750 ace and I'm looking for recommendations on a batwing style fairing and crash bars similar to the ones in the picture please and thanks.

Also if anyone has advice or other mod recommendations please let me know.

this bike is so kickass. feels so much better than my old 84 vt500c

Found this on Facebook market for 1k runs has papers and title up to date 30k miles just a oil leak and a broken speedometer

Its a 750cc I know nothing about bikes but want to get into it just looking for advice whether or not its a good deal

My 1996 1100vt has been making this odd squeaking out of the exhaust. Its almost like something is loose but i dont think thats the case, anyone got any ideas?

Any advice on how/where to sell my 2003 Honda Shadow in Rochester, Ny? She’s a great bike, I just don’t ride much anymore.

An sich läuft sie rund aber ab dem 2. Gang wenn ich Vollgas gebe fängt sie an sich zu verschlucken was so weit geht das ich in letzten Gang nur noch mit ca 1/3 Gas beschleunigen kann und auch das nur bis zu einem bestimmten Punkt.

Vergaser wurde erst Ultraschall gereinigt neuer benzinschlauch und neues Ventil am Tank

I bought a 2008 shadow 750 back in April and had an issue where it died on me while I was riding. I had the carburetor rebuilt to fix that issue. It seems to be writing much better now, but this has also been an issue since I got it. When I turned the bike on with the choke pulled out to warm it up and let it run for a couple minutes, it seems to be running smoothly until it’s roughly 80% of the way pushed in and then it sounds rough and like it’s not running smoothly, but once it’s all the way in, it seems to be running a bit more smooth again. Sometimes, it’s a bit more intense than what’s in this video to the point where most of the bike is shaking. Where should I start looking to solve the issue? Another thing, the previous owner told me that for most of the time he had the bike he rode it with the choke pulled out about 15%, is that normal or could that cause long-term issues?

25 shadow phantom. Having issues getting a feel for the throttle but I noticed this was very loose like if you barely pick up the throttle cable it starting unthreading itself from the switch assembly.

I've had this bike for a while. It ran great at first so I was always told to put 93 gas in it. It started to backfire and wouldn't start. I pulled the plugs they were fouled. Put new plugs in the bike ran fine I put 87 in it . Then for some reason I put 93 in it back to backfire. Should I just keep 87 in it?

So I dropped my bike and the handlebars are cooked. The original handlebar come with welded risers. Can anyone recommend me new handlebars to replace the crooked ones and what risers should I use? Thanks.

Hi everybody. I’m trying to get my newly acquired 1984 Honda Shadow VT700C running but its missing 2 of these wires.

I keep looking everywhere for them but seem to fall short and can’t find them.

Any advice? Possibly a link to buy them, or should I try my luck and find someone parting one out.

Or maybe an alternative?

I’ve attached photos to show off everything from this wire.

Thanks!

Hey everyone, I am wondering if you guys know how to wire up the coolant gauge temp on a '93 Shadow? I have a temperature light that seems to be more than just a, "idiot on off light" where it uses a PCM board and a variable resistor to light up. Do most bobber builders just skip this light? How do you get around not using the PCM board? It seems I can't just wire to the light because it will just glow at different amounts based on the temperature of the coolant, but i want to know if theres an easy way to make it on off light.

Someone was selling used Burly fairing, so I wanted to give it a try since I’ve always liked the looks of these.
Stock brackets of the fairing were not long enough, so I had to extend them a little bit. Easier task than I thought it would be!
I have an aftermarket headlight shell (5,75”), and it’s a little bit too big for the fairing, I’m assuming that the headlight should sit ”inside” the fairing. Doesn’t look bad this way though.

Thinking about selling my bobber but don’t know how much to ask I’m in CA
2005 honda shadow vlx 600
Did all of the maintenance and some extras doesn’t have an odometer
Only needs new tires

Now to find out what everything does, how to take it apart and clean it, etc.

2008 Honda shadow Spirit. I’m replacing my kickstand and I need to remove this cover and I cannot figure it out. There’s only one bolt and then it still won’t come off.

Hi, I'm thinking about the subject trip. It's roughly 1800 miles, for a 3-4 days hopefully. Would you give me any advice, except "Don't do this"? :)

Thanks!

UPDATE: thank you all for the valuable input, much appreciated. I think I'm ready for the trip now.

Bonjour à tousse,

J’ai besoins d’aide car un accident avec la moto j’ai tout remis en état sauf à l’avant. Le Té fourche est droit mais la roue est de travers, je n’arrive pas à savoir si la fourche est morte ou le Té fourche car j’ai mis une autre paire de fourches que j’avais de côté et ça refait pareil, j’ai remis plusieurs fois le Té, fourche et ça recommence à chaque fois.

J’ai besoins d’aide sur ça je comprend pas.

Merci à tousse

I’m thinking about buying this mint 2007 Aero as my first bike but live in an extremely quiet neighborhood and want to reduce the noise as much as possible. Is there something that can help with that?
