Thanks for sharing your thoughts on your bike. I own a 2020 Honda Shadow Phantom 750cc, and I love it. Here she is... kzbin.info/www/bejne/hF6xgJiBrdVggrMsi=tia7C1CTwWZmjku8 Regarding the head-buffeting issue when riding with a windshield, I solved the problem by getting a higher windshield and lower wind deflectors. There was zero buffeting after that. Check out a video from Memphis Shades about how to pick the correct size windshield for your bike. That's what I did, and the problem was solved. Thumbs-up for your video. Have a great rest of your day... Greetings from Douglas, Arizona 👍🏾🌵🌵😊🇵🇷 Like 209.

Can you send link

What wind screen is that? I've been looking for one for my '03 ACE

I don't know the height of your windshield but if you get the top of it around chin or mouth height, you should lose that head buffeting. Worth a try and you still get the body protection. Nice bike incidentally !

Just about to get one myself. Just waiting for it to pass dealers inspection

Until Americans became very large people, The 750 was a big bike. In the 60s,70s, and 80s People rode all across the country on 650s and 750s. The Silverwing was only 500cc.

How bout a gas guage

There is a lot of stupid sh1t on this bike, like a fuel pump that isn't actually much of a fuel pump. Rear seat pegs that are way too high up for you to put your feet up on Cylinder heads you can't remove without tearing the whole bike apart Stator coils you can't remove without draining the engine oil. A turn signal that you only can push in to turn off, not just click also back the reverse way.

Just a thought try adjusting your handlebars for comfort. It could help your back and longer rides.

How sturdy is it? I had old skool choppers and bombers back in the day and they were rigid. Looks little light duty in the video?

Ruined it with music....

I agree 100% , but let me qualify my answer. I am a re-entry rider who owned 10 bikes 25 years ago. I just bought a 2001 Shadow Spirit 750 two weeks ago, and it's the first time I rode in 25 years. I am a newbie, again. I find that the Shadow lives at 40 mph, and that feels FAST on this bike. It's a perfect town bike, otherwise I need more experience. I have a windshield and it's steady in the wind, but the psychological fear is that I'll get blown around, even though I know I won't. I feel like a heavier bike would make me feel safer.

Wasn't expecting to run into this vid, but as someone who also rides a 1999 Shadow VT750 ACE i can say you did a great job on the restorations & mods. Paint on the tank indeed gets worn out from years of getting exposed to road dust and gas spills while refilling, so at some point it's e necessary thing to get redone and not difficult to do. Aside from Clutch and Throttle cables needing lubing or getting worn out the bike itself has a damn sturdy engine that hardly ever has issues. 1 recommendation for anyone that owns one would be every 30 000-50 000 km take out the carburetor and give it a good cleaning (best in a ultrasonic bath) and check if the airlines aren't getting cracked and leaking air mixed fuel out.

Phenomenal music choice

This video could have been much better. The screaming metal music is just annoying and makes it difficult to concentrate on the video. Showing the process in fast motion is not helpful. You know what you're doing - but the VIEWER does not. Plus the camera is too far away to see much detail, and with no narration or close-ups during the installation, this video is almost useless. Sorry.

My VT750 can do 80 down the interstate all day & has no problem doing it...I've done it 2 up through several states...my longest solo interstate ride, one way was over 700 miles...750s are fully capable of touring...I've done it on mine for 9 years...

How is your phone holding up with the phone mount? I've heard these bikes can vibrate your phone camera to death.

Great video!

Just bought a 2003 Shadow Ace 750. Though it runs smooth with no hesitation or bogging that baby won't go 70mph if I threw off the Empire State Building. -- Such a beautiful bike. Just ordered plugs, oil, coolant, air filter, fuel filter, etc....with the hopes of reviving a pony or two to at least keep up in town. It seems to be comfy at 50mph. I live in a small town in FL and go back and forth between two other towns about 20-30 mins away so I'd be happy with the bike being comfy at 60mph. --- I'm thinking the first mod would be to either up a tooth on the front sprocket or drop 3 on the rear sprocket. -- I didn't take the bike on a 430 mile trip on the weekend and though I had some discomfort with the seat, it wasn't too bad. --- I have since taken the windshield off and have only ridden in town here and there, no issues. No buffeting. I guess I'll take it a step at a time. Tune-up. -- Then maybe sprocket -- Then maybe a hypercharger, jetting and pipe combo. That should recall some of those ponies that went to the big horse ranch in the sky. :) Thank you Jordan for your video. You did great. Keep enjoying the bike, it's a really nice (and cool) bike.

I have a vt1100. I seriously love my bike. It's a 98. I'm kinda rebuilding, its mental. I've had both carb an fuel injector. The only thing I would say. Is that I miss the fuel gauge. Other than that I would stay with my VT1100 Shadow. Very reliable an easy to work on. I had a VTX 1800. I loved the bike. I lost it in a divorce 😢. So in rebuilding, I got the 1100. Awesome bike.😂❤

I just bought my 2002 shadow 750 ace w 12,000 miles on it today and love it! This is my first bike and I’m taking my course for my license in a few weeks

Great video man. I am going to look at a 2002 Honda shadow ace today, wish me luck!

Thanks for sharing 👍

I've heard of people riding these bikes across country no problem. Sounds like he hates all the things that makes riding a motorcycle awesome.

Why did you buy a motorcycle if you don't like the wind? Such a weird thing to hear.

I have the 03 shadow in 🍊 love it! I lost one of the bolts for the bracket, where should I get another one? It was just just sliding in and out not biting anything.

Well you could trade it in for a Harley, that way you could feel that thrill of a Harley because sometimes when you try to start it and it actually starts. Then if you ride that Harley and make it back you can work on it and repair it. Call that Harley dealer, he may give you 1,100.00 for your Honda trade-in and offer you an 8% compounding interest loan on a 30,000.00 motorcycle so it ends up costing you 42,000.00 by time it's paid off. Once you got that brand new Harley you can spend spend countless hours and another 5,000.00 on parts changing it. Or you can stick with that 750, change the fluids as required and ride it for another 20 years. You'll save space and a money on having to not buy a hauling trailer and T-shirts in the long run. It's a 750, that motorcycle is not designed to be a crotch rocket or a 1200 cc 900 pound cruiser. That is a upper midsize no trills functioning touring motorcycle, nothing more, nothing less and it performs exactly how it was designed.

Bike looks great

I happily, ride a 2004 Honda Aero, VT750. When it was made the federal speed limit was 55MPH. It loves to go 55." I can't drive 55." It will do 90++. But the bike doesn't like it, and neither do I. It's a light bike. 520 Lbs. soaking wet. Crosswinds blow me all over the place. Oh, I'm a lightweight. 150Lbs. give or take a 6pack. Other than that. A lovely machine. I think she's beautiful. "Me and my Shadow". 😉

To complete the sissy bar, you just need the package rack that goes behind it.

i love the seats! excellent job and nice colors

Why film in a dark garage?

Where’d you get that air filter assembly?

I just got a 2011 Aero, the best thing about them is that they are relatively unchanged ( except I sought out a fuel injected one ) - I do like how the mirrors are actually useful on these bikes too ( mine are the round type ones ) Lack of Tacho is a bit of a pain, as I can't hear the bike as well as I thought I'd be able to ( I wear plugs on the motorway ) I do like the weight and stable nature of the 750 - I rode 250s for a long time and they can be a fatiguing ride because they get knocked about by crosswinds.

Is yours heavy turning left mine is and it’s a pain in the azz to get it back straight.

These bike run lean from the factory. That cone would make it worse. Sounds like the baffles were out.

Just got a 2001 ACE. Good observations about pros and cons. I miss the fairing from my previous bike. Thinking about adding one. The lack of a tach is no big deal on this bike, but location of the speedo REALLY sucks. Am trying to figure out a work-around, as I hate looking down from the road to see my speed. I like my Shadow a lot, but have the hots for a Guzzi. Good job.

Nice job on the seats.

is it good for a 5’9 rider?

I too have a 02 Honda shadow 750 ace but mines a deluxe. Is yours a deluxe too because what I can see from the video it's almost identical to mine

I have a 2003 shadow ace 750 and ride mainly on the highways here in Texas. After reading a lot on the forums and watching videos on KZbin I decided to swap the stock rear sprocket (40 or 42 tooth) out for a 38 tooth from DID and couldn't be happier really calms down the buzz at highway speeds. If you haven't already give the swap a try it makes a difference. Also I added lower wind deflectors to mine and it cut out all of the buffeting I would get riding with a windshield I believe I bought the from Jp cycles. They really are great bikes!!!

Do you have a riding camera ?

Looks so much better!

Agree about highway riding. I have Cobra pipes on my '09 750 and it is screaming above 70mph. Earplugs are needed above 60. Yes the bike can maintain 80-90 mph but even a bit of mechanical empathy will tell you it's not optimal. She's a backroad mile eater.

When you go to battle, dress for it. Where is your gloves and gear???

Great intro

👏🏼👏🏼
