Thanks so much for posting this! May I embed it in my tiny Wordpress blog (less than 100 readers)?

I got mine for 650 dlls. 2002 Honda Shadow ACE with (26,000) miles. I cleaned the carburetor, and that was all the problem it had. I changed the color, bought new parts, and now it works great.

Valkyrie's won't go for more than $3500 in good shape where I live.

Yup lights look purty but they kill your stator.

What is the trunk from on the valkyrie

how much are you selling the honda shadow?

Being that this video is over 3 years old. I am sure someone has already pointed out. And for the sake of being repeated, Anyone who knows the running voltage on the charging system. Should read Anywhere between thirteen five and fourteen volts d c, While your meter only read somewhere in the twelve range. Not good. Might want to check that voltage regulator or stater.

This is the work you can expect to perform on a cheap bike. Tires plus mounting. Brake pads and fluid flush. Grease bearings. Carb cleaning and possible rebuilding. Gaskets, jets. Possible carb isolators. Fuel filter and pump. Clean or replace the fuel tank. Fuel lines. Cable lubricating and adjusting. Air filter. Plugs. Oil and filter change. Adding acce$$orie$ Chain replacement or adjusting. Coolant flush and replacement if applicable. Cleaning and polishing. Like a Ferrari, there is no such thing as a cheap motorcycle. With that said, a lot of riders have no mechanical skills at all and panic when it doesn't run and sell them cheap. Could end up being a $40 part.

I picked up a '98 Valkyrie with the Cobra 6x6s last August for $4900 with only 3900 miles. Of course, $1k later (after the fuel tank had to be replaced from rust), it has been absolutely wild.

well i bought a 200 sabre with 1400 miles on itt from a old man, looks like it was just driven off the showroom floor, he had put new tires had honda rebuild the carbs from sitting to long for 1300 dollars

I WOULD THINK THAT SHOULD BE CHRGING AR AT LEAST 13.7V

Where did you get the digital power charge meter deal??

Bob that valkiry lol

I went to look at a $1200 valkyrie with 20k miles 2003 on fb marketplace. I found a hole in the block where it had thrown a rod. Took me 10 seconds to find. Seller was dishonest. Obviously I didn't buy it.

I have a 750 shadow 2011 model with less than 5000 miles on it.shadow aero

As the original owner of a ‘97 Valkyrie with 106,000 miles on it, I would tell you that it is one of the easiest motorcycle to ride: easy to shift, easy to balance, stops on the proverbial dime and absolutely reliable. I have three other bikes: two BMWs and a Triumph, but the Valkyrie is still my overall favorite to ride after 25 years. I am turning 70 in a few months, should start to downsize, but I will keep the Valk as long as I can maneuver it around the garage. BTW, it only goes as fast as one twists the throttle-3.6 seconds to 60MPH if so inclined.

How'd things turn out with your boat? I also just bought one of these, ands needs work. Be great to get in touch with you to share info

Wow. $300 for a pair of tires for a road bike? I spend $700 for a pair of tires for my Goldwing. Add $50-75 to mount and balance.

I would have bought the valkyrie in a heartbeat. I have 2 already.. Wait til you find out the carbs are gummed up and dry rot is affecting the fuel system rubber components. That's gonna run you$900 to get some right. There are a couple of guys in the Valk community that know what they are doing. Dealership will turn you away because it's over 10 years old. Most dudes that mess with these 6 carb bikes screw up the carb job. Then when was the rear end last serviced? Every 10000 miles you have to pull the drive line off, inspect the u joint, propeller, shaft, and pinion cup and relubricate. Then you pull the wheel of the differential and replace the 3 O rings( hope you find the secret hidden 3rd one), most likely the dampers in the hub as they wear out right regularly, then check the thrust washer and relubricate drive flange with 2 of the o rings you put in with moly paste, not grease, find the hidden#3 replace it. Then the fun begins. There is a specific order in putting the components back in the bike Screw that up and you buy a new drive line. fixed and clean no other issues that bike will fetch around $4500. Still a little meat on the bone. Oh the moisture on the plug? What an idiot. There is a weep hole at the base of the plug insert. They can get clogged with dirt that gets on there. No big deal, clean it out with a small wire. Coolant leak? Sometimes I know the winner the tube that goes to the top of the engine block will contract and it will leak a little bit until it warms up . Generally these bikes don't ever leak any liquids ever from anywhere except for as the water pump starts going out it'll begin to weep down there and you can't just put new seals in it you got to buy a whole new water pump and 200 plus dollars at a discount OEM Supply. Why you're in there well it's just good to run a bunch of distilled water through and get all the coolant crud out of the system put it all back together get some proper antifreeze for aluminum engines with no silicates and refill the cooling system but if you don't do it right you'll have a bunch of air trapped in it and it'll tend to run hot. But get all that done you'll have a nice bike I know people with 300 to $700,000 miles on these things but they always take care of them and they never get into the condition that one's in. Too bad the guy fucked up the head cuz like you said he didn't say what it was what with but those fuckers don't leak if anything there'd be oil underneath it and these bikes are known for never dripping oil ever. So good luck with the project just thought I'd let you in for what you really in for I love these bikes I would like to have more of them they're fun to work on fairly easy if you got the tools and the knowledge. But unfortunately as time goes on NOS OEM parts are starting to get scarce and then well you got to hope you can find a used part to just isn't too used. The shadow is a pretty good score. I have that bike too. Good luck

Do you sale that shadow?

Nice vid and narration. Stayed for the whole thing.

Isn’t the correct charging voltage 13.8v for a lead acid battery?

I like what you are doing fantastic hobby.

12. 8 VDC is not charging fine at all. Check regulator/rectifier and/or stator. Also check for loose battery terminals

Hi DWF, I'm working on a 2002 ? Honda VT750CDD ACE, and am wondering about the rear fender to frame bolts. Looking for some great looking replacements in chrome to fill the 4 empty holes with. UNSAFE as it is. Length and diameter would be great to know. I might get grade 8 bolts, as I'm like, 3X the man I was 35 years ago.

Well, how did it go?

I do flat bed 18 wheeler. I worked through the virus.

fix them and put them back on craigslist for a cash sale. let some kid learn how to fix it. and impress his girlfriend. a month later, he'll put it back on craigslist again. repainted.

Thats two bike one for you and one for me! Lol

Where did you get the single/solo seat for the Honda? Do you have the model/brand? Thank you.

Superman has a bowling ball under his shirt...

Amazing job !!!

yes a good helmet is important....i heard a story about a guy whos head got run over by a vehicle, and he survived.....he got a lot of money and bought a house and cars...after a year, got into an accident again and finally died

i can pay $2000 for something like that shadow and just drive it like it is

I think u need more subscribers you deserve it Love from india

Man that shadow looks nice in red.

👏

I like this video😊🏍🏍🏍

parlant de sécurité,...j'ai acheter une honda cm 450 1983 après 42 ans sans conduite de moto durant 1 an puis une honda rebel neuve 2020 j'ai fait 2000 km avec et le meme été j'ai vendu la rebel et acheté une shadow phantom 750, 2013 qui avait 4350 km (le deal) et ....je me sent BEAUCOUP en sécurité et confortable et ne regrette pas mon achat

honda shadow ACE is the best of high way king.

Have a 99 Honda Shadow and it's a great bike when your bike you can buy some spray to get that old spray off and it shouldn't hurt you the Chrome range can't remember what kind of spray it is I'm going to can takes off the pain get the phone on pain just takes off break it before it's good

The bike should run at about 13.5 volts charging you probably have a regulator problem

U can run these bikes without the fuel pump. U have to make a horizontal loop off fuel hose from pet cock. Then a mini fuel filter. Keep line high as possible above float bowls. It runs very well without a pump. Mine had significant more torque without the pump

are you a teacher by any chance?

I got a really nice shadow vt1100c but I paid 1500 for it but it’s an excellent bike bro

Did u sell that shadow ???

This Vakyrie motorcycle looks great. Maybe I will be the owner of such a copy. I would even like the same colors as on my Honda Shadow 1100 ACE motorcycle.

2:46 is that a grip for cruise control?

Which red RAL color is that? Wow

What do you do when you can't get a title?
