2007 Honda Shadow Spirit 750 C2 Hole Saw Mod

[@leonardtaylor779]

An easy lubricant when cutting or drilling steel is a mix of common soap (soluble oil) and hot water. Make a sloppy and slippery mix of it and keep dipping the drill, hole saw etc. in the mix. It works well. By the way, the Lenox hole saw Steven is using IS recommended for steel!!! Because he is drilling stainless steel it can be a bugger to cut because the hotter stainless steel gets, it gets harder! I have been in the game for fifty years so I should know. Keep up the good work Steven.

[@stevebrighttheblackguitar653]

Thanks for the lesson! I did what you did on my 2012 Shadow Aero 750.... Worked Great... $20 bucks for the drill bit. Now its a Honda-Harley!

[@justaddwater6946]

did you noticed any problems with the bike after that. like over heating or else. thanks

[@stevebrighttheblackguitar653]

@@justaddwater6946 I drilled out my bike about 4 months ago and have had no problems or change in performance. It is louder, which is what i wanted and a lot cheaper than a new exhaust system. Like i said in my original video and comment, $20. Bucks and works great. Love the mod, easy to do... 15 minutes!

[@richardschoenrock5317]

Great video!! I've seen many videos of people doing this in their shop or in their garage with bike mod experience. I'm really looking to do this myself with my spirit and it's good to see your challenges. Makes me see what to look for.

[@CSTakenaka]

Only thing missing from this PIPING HOT video are the flames! Seriously, great job Steven! I didn't see anyone else helping you out through your trial and success so you deserve all the credit. The bike sounded great both times. That said,enjoy riding and turning heads with your two-wheeled "truck"

[@theycallmerodeo6845]

Hey man, thanks for posting the video. Its nice to see the guts before I cuts. I just did the mod on my 2008 and for the price, I dig the sound. I got a good laugh out of some of the comments too. Some people... Anyway. bike sounds and runs great. Not "loud" but enough to give her some attitude.

[@robertstevensaal]

Thanks for the advice, flashdoogie. I'll do that and make sure to NOT continue to drill well past the point where the hole was created. In retrospect I have no idea how I didn't notice I'd made it through!

[@flashdoogie]

Just to let you know for the future.....dont use wd40 for a lube.......proper cutting fluid or even spent motor oil would of saved you from buying a second bit. Great job and thanks for posting.

[@robertstevensaal]

@mike98541 I haven't had to rejet the bike. Haven't had any problems at all with it and I'm still enjoying the ride a lot more then before.

[@vdubpowered]

Thanks to the previous owner of my 05 spirit doing this it caused me to lose top end speed horribly

[@АнтонСавицкий-ь9ю]

Hi! I have the same bike and I want to do the same with my exhaust. Tell me please, after 5 years, do you noticed any problems with the bike? Overheating, loose power, increased gas consumption or something like that?

[@nagunaks2222]

You need to install a performance jet kit and K&N air filter so it runs good

[@SizzelRizzel]

@@nagunaks2222 no you don't, ive had my baffles removed for 6 years and havent had a single issue, ive changed the spark plugs 4 or 5 times since then and never any signs of too rich or lean.

[@ArthurSperotto]

Thank you for making this video, Steven! Really helps.

[@evaliente1]

Heyman… Thanks for the video, I have the same bike and been thinking about it for a while n had the same doubts, now with your video u just motivated me to move forward and do it in mine...

[@robertstevensaal]

Have you done it yet? What do you think?

[@alexeyborodulin1781]

no way man! you're going to turn into one of that loud ass morons. It's easy to fuck up brilliant work of engineers that reached optimum sound with minimal power loss. There will be no way back then. Better make 4 holes threaded for screws to unplug them whenever is needed

[@toddsunderlin7574]

Hey, before you ruin your stock exhaust, remember you are changing the back pressure when you take the baffles out. I talked to a tech at a honda dealer and he said the bike more than likely would not run right without jetting it first. I have a '09 750 spirit and i'm waiting until I can do it right with the right pipes and jets.

[@robertstevensaal]

Todd sunderlin Hey buddy. It's been several years since I removed the resonators and I haven't had a single issue.

[@trueone6517]

750 don't need rejetted

[@vibe808]

Now it sounds like a twin!

[@louisvilaros9066]

Man that paint is amazing

[@robertstevensaal]

@BubbaGa1 Thanks, mate. Yeah, this bad boy's carbureted. It's really hard to tell if the bike lost any acceleration power (torque? I don't know) but I still get up to 85 relatively easy and have pushed it almost to 100 since removing the resonators as well. You may be able to tell a difference in acceleration after the mod but I had just gotten back on this bike after borrowing a friend's Super Blackbird so EVERYTHING was sssllllooowww. lol. No problems or popping on this bike though. Do it!

[@Bertass22]

I did the same thing to my 2000 Honda Shadow vlx 600 custom deluxe and it sounds AWESOME and i still get go about 118 to 120 miles on a tank of gas.

[@seangibson398]

Bertass22 did you get a jet set done to the carb?

[@maximogarrido8891]

Estoy en ese punto, lo hago o no?? Steven, va mejor también?? Muchas gracias

[@bikeboy0012]

Sounds like a riding mower(full choke). Hahah awesome video!!!!

[@obsessedfortoys]

got a 2003 . Gonna do it it!

[@geoffhay303]

How did you go?

[@robertstevensaal]

That sounds right. DeWalt. Got it at Lowe's for somewhere under $100.

[@Larrymichaelg1]

I have a 2007 Honda Shadow Spirit 750 C2. I'm definitely going to do the same. Sure beats $400 for Cobra's. Any other suggestions? Thanks

[@CH-kh6if]

Im a try it on my honda magna thanks for the video man

[@jatenten]

Im not picking on you, great informative vid, but you need to have the valves checked and adjusted, or crank sound scoped. There is some bad knock and bang racket coming from the hardware side of things.

[@samohtnotslar]

how happy are you with this bike? how is the range on the tank and what is the mpg? does it ride nice, comfortable on long distance? would you consider a different one, if so which one? I am looking into a bike soon.

[@saidabimelec8506]

Matt R very good bike. you can get anywhere from 40 to 70 mpgs depends where and how u ride. very stable. nice quality and reliability and cheap. its a honda for gods sake

[@robertstevensaal]

@stuartcarterbrandt The windshield is from Memphis Shades but my wife bought it at the Honda Dealership.

[@SeanBlazze]

GREAT VIDEO MAN! thanks alot, Im hoping to get one of these soon.

[@eddie9903]

Thank you for your input, on my video. But really I watched your video way be for I made mine..

[@BubbaGa1]

thanks for the info man dont no if i wanna do it alotta my friends said leave it alone and put exhaust but thats like 300 to 600 bucks lol ill put pick of my bike up ill let you know when i do

[@TheJobmas]

Great video! Thanks! Im also do this! And have a nice sound!

[@andreasuperak8255]

So mine has a single pipe, can I use a 4" bit or do I need a smaller one to drill out each individually?

[@assisfig]

Cool! Gasoline consumption has changed ?

[@MrAlwaysHappy]

At 1:15, "I'm going to drill through, and pull out." What exactly is this video about?

[@antoniorivera5882]

Thanks you for your time thanks

[@Sam-pe1pd]

Hi really

[@antoniorivera5882]

samantha Rivera

[@MrBoriqua2000]

Does your bike ride the same after removing the baffles or did you lose some power?

[@robertstevensaal]

I honestly couldn't tell. I was told to watch out for lost power but if there was any it was too little to notice.

[@blaineoquinn3601]

Great job bro

[@eddie9903]

All you are Missing is some Good Original Music in the Back round. KZbin eddie 9903

[@Terpfan007]

What kind of drill did you use? Just a regular 12v corded drill?

[@ruvimniz1837]

do you have to rejet the bike

[@BubbaGa1]

did it perform any diffrent? i got a 2006 shadow 750 mines is carbs i dont know if i do it if i would have to change the jets in the carbs let me know if your bike is carberated and if it made it run diffrent thanks my vid of my bike will be up soon i hope lol by the way nice bike

[@2fun2care]

Be more careful than I was LOL about the kid or the bike haha jk good vid

[@mickeyauthement6898]

LOL hole saw is VERY DULL because you bought one that was made to cut wood and NOT metal.

[@robertstevensaal]

Well how about that.

[@rsnip9888]

😅

[@kearansheppard12]

Hold trigger half way so you don't burn out the bit or damage the steel on the exhaust. And more wd40 if you don't have any cutting oil around.

[@mike98541]

any need to rejet?

[@vkhiev]

How's the power any different

[@LeHoang.789]

02:11

[@123abc-h6f]

bro, did you use a 2-1/4 OR a 2-1/8?

[@mpdboehmke]

Have you noticed any difference in fuel mileage?

[@johnnybravo8033]

SUPER

[@ADKramer93]

Is this an irreversible process?

[@gregripley5073]

About to try this on my aero 750 wish me luck lol

[@nickramos3417]

Fuck it I’m doing it!

[@CreepingDeth76]

and how did it go for you im thinking bout doing it?

[@nickramos3417]

Wendell Mize super easy, bike sounds WAY better. And sometimes when I’m on 3rd gear it like pops a little

[@MCRideout]

use low speed on the drill when you're drilling metal. sounds good!

[@acspringsteen9828]

MCRideout Yep. Metal slow!

[@beaconrider]

Wood saws and drills do not last long when you cut metal. Should have bought the right tool.

[@GiveMeAReason82]

power tools and bare feet don't mix! lmfao

[@usagainstthem99]

not bad actually

[@templariodelapocalipsis2299]

Steve

[@choppergirl]

Don't do this, you'll lower the value of your bike. Keep it as close to stock as possible.

[@stevensaal]

Hi! Man it's weird seeing a comment on a video I made 13 years ago. For what it's worth, this mod was awesome and I was really happy with the sound. Would do it again in a heartbeat but I would put on shoes, safety glasses, and use a hole saw bit that was actually made for metal. 😄 Have a good one!

[@thrashingmetal]

spray wd40 over the plate it makes the cut smooth like peanut butter

[@thesherminatorr2052]

aerolift he did do that

[@ИгорьСавельев-д4я]

Испортил глушители

[@roccolescio1695]

That’s stupid to do engine will heat up and lose power and burn values out

[@MaaZeus]

Nonsense. There is usually another baffle deeper inside. It is not completely gutted into a straight pipe, there is still plenty of back pressure.

[@oiramnojertsac2946]

Steven wipe your nose next time ,if we were digging for gold we would be millionaires

[@reggiesparks4357]

You think that sounds good!.
