[@hondagarage]

Any time, man, glad I can help.

[@mbrancea4711]

Sick build! Love it! What exact wheels are those? From what bike? Im looking for some casted 5 spokes

[@hondagarage]

Theses are from a 1987 Honda Shadow VT700C.

[@adams13f]

About to but honda shadow vlx 600 so you may get questions from me hahaha

[@hondagarage]

Yeah, stay tuned. I have a video dropping on Friday on the vlx600 doing a few things to it

[@adams13f]

@hondagarage buddy I can't wait!! I'm subscribed and ready to get started! I'm a combat vet and need to get in the garage.

[@hondagarage]

@@adams13f nice thanks for your service, and for sure 👍

[@Cooldad87]

Still got those spoke rims? Where do you get that spark plug socket? My normal socket won't fit in that hole lol nice bike man I got a 1986 VT700c bobber you wouldn't mind emailing me? I need to know how the coolant hoses are properly routed because as you know parts aren't easy to come by for the most part and also I have the original service manual but doesn't specify coolant hose routing thanks man I subbed as well oh and use seafoam worked wonders for mine

[@hondagarage]

Yeah, I put them on my other bike. It's gotta be a thinner socket. idk where I got that from. it's super old. Thanks for the sub, and if you have Instagram, you can send me a message on that.

@@hondagarage bet thanks man

[@douglasradowick508]

Why put on a tire that's too wide for the frame? The height is messed with as well! Now you have to re-calibrate the speedo & the tach to read accurately for this alteration. No class 😵😱! I'm about to obtain a 1981 Honda cb650 with only 31K miles on the clock. Hasn't been ridden at all for the past 20 years, but, covered & stored in New Mexico (desert Southwest).🤓🦅 Doug

[@hondagarage]

Because I took the spoke wheels that the vt800 had and put them on my vt700 for a different look, plus the speedometer not off by much. 👍👍👍

[@douglasradowick508]

@@hondagarage speedo off by "not much"? Even 2 mph can be the difference between a ticket, or, a crash! Which costs less to your conscience? I'm an auto mechanic and I get a bad vibe of altering motorized items that don't "read accurately. Doug, not trying to throw a guilt trip on you chief.

[@hondagarage]

Na, I feel you, man, but there's people out there riding without a speedo I've seen plenty. These are my personal bikes, but thanks for your concern. I'll look into calibrating them. 👍🤙🤙

[@douglasradowick508]

@@hondagarage I know of a "person" that yanked the speedo & tach off from his motorcycle as soon as brought it home. Was hauling up & down the street like some hot-shot who had immunity from his own ignorance. Needless to say, the bike was gone a week later. Thank-you for having the common sense to know the better way to deal with matters in a grown-up way!🤓😁 Doug
