7 Surprising Honda Shadow Facts

You know what Honda stands for? Harley owners need dependable alternatives 👍💯😂

Bought my first motorcycle 3 1/2 years ago. I’m 6’2” and 210lbs, but I spent that first year riding a 250cc Yamaha across the country twice. Watching KZbin videos, many of those creators were using your parts, lead me to my second motorcycle, the Honda Shadow 600. Between spending that first year on a 250, and the last 2 1/2 years on the Honda Shadow 600, I’m sure you can guess I’ve been told more than a few times I need a bigger motorcycle. I’ve ridden over 40,000 miles in 3 years, with trips on the Honda to Mexico and Alaska. I can assure everyone that the Honda Shadow 600 can handle it all just fine. I’ve never felt uncomfortable on the Shadow. I’ve spent about $800 on tires, but otherwise, oil, filters, spark plugs, brake shoes… probably less than $500 in maintenance. I’ve never broken down, and I’ve been a long way from help on more than a few occasions. It’s 2024, and me and my 2007 Honda Shadow are still going strong.

You rock ! ., I've got a SR250 Yamaha Exciter , the little Yamaha is a single cylinder and I've ridden it all over my County and nearby Counties . I've just bought a 750 Honda Shadow Spirit and hand bent a 2-1/2 foot Sissy bar for it .

Amazing. Ppl really overlook smaller displacement bikes nor understand its capabilities. I’m on. Ktm 390 right now after riding 750plus cc all my life !

[@stanleydenning]

Yesterday, I went out to my garage, looking for something to do. " Hmmmm... I guess I'll work on my Shadow." After careful consideration, I realized there was nothing that needed to be done to it. So, I just went for a ride. 😁

[@TJBRUTALCUSTOMS]

Hahaha!!! I love it!

[@edwardkeeter762]

One thing that is an endless task on my 04 is trying to keep the rust/corrosion on the wheels in check, but yeah, otherwise change the fluids and plugs on a regular schedule, and it's a fire-and-forget bike.

[@lawrencesportello1080]

​@@edwardkeeter762Hey bud, try wiping your wheels down with a light coat of Fluid Film. Stuff is great. It is lanolin based and will work on anything. Doc

[@stanleydenning]

@@edwardkeeter762 I use Mother's Mag wheel polish on mine. It leaves a coating of some kind that impedes the rusting.

[@nicolasbitar9497]

​@@edwardkeeter762hello! What kind do you recommend for it?

[@ledhed5717]

I am 5’6’’ and my Shadow 1100 fits me perfectly. The seat height is just right and the controls are perfect for my shorter arms and legs.

[@JayDude85]

Breath of fresh air to see some praise for this bike. Had an obsessive fascination for Harleys when I was a kid. Never learned to ride, got older and let the dream die. Now I'm in my late 30's and there's a bit of nagging regret there in the back of my mind. The fascination's starting to come back and I want to learn to ride. I've have been looking into which bike to get, prefferably used so I can save some cash and get some protective gear. Honda Shadows keep catching my eye for the price, look, approachable power and weight. There always seems to be a few available from private owners for $2000-$4000. Just gotta stack dem chips for a few months.

[@TJBRUTALCUSTOMS]

HANDLE iT!

[@jankentmann6470]

I was a Harley fan for many years, until in the late 90es Honda launched the 750 Black Widow. Due to several reasons, it took another 23 years, until finally I managed to buy one. It's a beautiful, rock solid, reliable, brilliant bike. Fun to ride, and easy to handle. I really love it

[@TJBRUTALCUSTOMS]

LOVE THAT

[@TriplicateTrey]

Wow man. I sold my shadow like 4 years ago. Stopped keeping up with this channel. Just bought another shadow and remembered your channel. Your production value has skyrocketed. My old one was a 650, and my new one is an 1100. Looking forward to going over all the videos I have missed.

[@TJBRUTALCUSTOMS]

Glad to have you back! Thank you for the kind words! We drop a new video every Friday!

[@abbashamideh3783]

Thank you for your honest review! I am a true Honda fanatic through experience, and I have owned two Honda Shadows in the past. The only thing I ever done was clean the carbs and batteries as you mentioned. The last Shadow I sold was ONLY to wanting a bigger and more comfortable Honda, that's it. I currently own four extremely fun Honda's!

[@ChefjustCheffin]

I'm picking up my first street bike next weekend and driving it 9 hours back, its an 05 shadow 750 aero. Only 1500 (from family). Super stoked to start making it my own

[@Cocytus]

I went with a '94 Honda Shadow 1100. I got nothing but good things to say about it. I like that it has a 4-Speed. I am one of those weirdo old school riders who would rather have long gears that I can use the full potential of the powerband. Also less shifting to worry about and I can put more focus on the road, and in my general opinion, 4-Speeds are a lot more fun overall and gives you better overall control in slowing down or speeding up depending on conditions. More throttle, less shifting makes for a fun time and comfort as well.

[@kennethsnider3456]

I stopped riding right after I started back in the 80s so I could raise a family (money was tight). Two years ago I retired and the first thing I did was shop for a Bike. After looking at a few different makes on Marketplace, I found a 2002 Honda Shadow Spirit that has 20200 miles and was reasonably priced. Best purchase I've made in years. I love this machine. I ride all day and aside from Regular Fluid changes, I've never had an issue. This the most dependable motorcycle out of my little group of riding buddies. Great video, by the way.

[@TJBRUTALCUSTOMS]

Thanks for sharing!

My re entry bike was a Honda VLX Shadow 600. I put 40K miles on that bike until I moved up to my Triumph Bonneville T100.

Down here in Australia the 98 honda aero 1100 was just another metric cruiser but after 116k I still love my aero it is so good to look at ride and it doesn't give up.

[@shanemichaelneal]

I got a 2006 honda shadow a few months ago, when i bought it, it wouldnt go oved 50 mph, so i had someone rejet the carb and clean the carb, tested the fuel pump, changed the fuel filter, and it runs good, but when im in 3rd gear and up, at low idle it runs good, but at mid throttle it sputters.. and it will continue to sputter until i either shift gears, lower the rpm, or go full throttle

[@TJBRUTALCUSTOMS]

Dang! That suks!

[@MrChanad]

My 2002 honda shadow sabre jist got me from northern Alberta down to Kansas City and finished into Northern Maine and then eastern Quebec, over 4000 miles in 2 weeks. Nothing major broke and I would do it again in a heartbeat. Oh, and I was well over 400lbs total weight on that thing.

[@BrancoFXDC]

Rode my 1998 Shadow 750 ACE from Toronto, On- Whistler BC through the rocky mountains, some days I would hit 1000 miles on a stockish (Bars, exhaust only mods) and It handled the trip flawlessly, only wish it had more passing power on the highway.

[@brucevernon5827]

I gave my Shadow Spirit to my Son in law for work after I had done 120 thousand ks ,in that time I had it,I averaged 40 thousand ks from tyres and replaced a battery, apart from regular oil change, never even replaced plugs fuz or light bulb,I bought a FLHTK ultra limited, but the shadow is my favorite reliable bike I have owned in 50 years of riding

[@manuhonkanen2111]

Just had a mechanical failure on my Shadow 600 the fuel pump died. Only 70000km on the clock and the thing just quitted. Bypassed the pump and she works just fine. Even gets all the fuel out from the reserve tank! No reason for that pump but to interrupt my journey....

[@jamess8477]

I had a 96 vt1100 Honda Shadow... Man that bike was so reliable especially in the summertime in Phoenix. . Road that for years as my main...

[@tomconte1765]

I had a 1989 Shadow 600 with flame paint job. I loved it. Only complaint is the bike has a high center of gravity and like to fall over easily. You can't go wrong when buying a "Hondo". I have a 2023 Honda Grom now. Love it.

[@leemiracle6840]

I got back into motorcycles with a bargain Honda Rebel, after a couple of years the wife told me to go ahead and get the new Shadow Phantom i was looking at, love that bike and now want to get another to build a bobber.

[@edwardkeeter762]

I picked up an 04 Shadow 750 Aero this year and I flipping love it. Really the only flaw in it is the g****mn oil dipstick, which is unreliable and hard to read. A sight glass would be an infinite improvement. Otherwise it's damn near perfect, especially with an aftermarket exhaust to let it really growl. It won't win many drag races, but otherwise it has plenty of power/torque for real-world riding and even touring, and in exchange for that, you get 56MPH. These bikes deserve so much more respect than they get.

[@rosieeye6812]

I've got same bike and I absolutely love it. I ride her everyday. Put about 25k miles in the last couple years. It's my first bike too.

[@Ironhorse360DEG]

i bought an 87 vt1100cc shadow in july of 88. $3600, 3rd owner, had 620 miles on it when purchased. 1990 i took it to the local dragstrip, it ran 13.65seconds, at 96mph, in 1/4mile, never used 4th gear. 91 i took it racing again, but after a wheelie at the starting line, i put wheelie bars on it. i ran semi pro ET 91, 92, 93, 94, and 95. 2400+ wide open passes during those years. i still have it, and an 89 model, but dont ride it anymore, i ride an hd fatboy daily. i am 6'5, gone from 170 to 240, and i'm now old. lol the shadow was a blast, shaft drive, buck horns, and reliable as the day is long.

[@gingerking8834]

So glad I found your channel, I let my nephew ride my Shadow, and was afraid he totaled it, now I have a new project.

[@almostbarbie]

I've had an aero since brand new in 2007, 17 years! It's going to be hard to part with it. I love it but i want something with a bit more pep. It's been a stellar bike!

My first bike was a 02 spirit 750. Done all the cool stuff that was cool back then to it. Now I own a cpl harley davidson but last year I bought a 03 spirit to chop up cause I need one in my collection. Purchased one of your tanks for it and got to say that alone was a gamechanger. Now that I keep seeing your video on the suicide shift I'm thinking it's gonna be a must have. Had my son do the cartoon art paint job on it a cpl weeks ago and buried it under some clear. Looks awesome so far. Wish I could post a picture with my comment. Thank you for designing parts that takes the honda chopper game to the next level.

bouth my vt 750 c2 this year and i'm really liking it. Changing rear sprocket to 38T from 41 soon and will see how it works out. lots of folks recomend it.

[@TJBRUTALCUSTOMS]

Congratulations! Personally I hate that sprocket change crap. Turns the bike into a pig when taking off. I don't get how people can't handle the minimal vibration of a honda at high speeds. Try riding an old triumph or a rigid harley your kidneys, lumbar discs and teeth will rattle out 😆. To each his own I guess but any time I've had a bike with a goofy sprocket I put it back to stock. Bike takes off quick and rides great. But what do i know. 🤷🏻‍♂️🍻🍻 cheers mate! And have fun!!!

Thanks for giving me confidence in my 1998 vt1100. I was going for low maitenance and comfortable. My bike is low miles but sat outside a lot so I've had to put some money in it. I call it the Toyota corolla of motorcycles. It's not elegant but very dependable.

#8 - Replacing the stock rear 44T sprocket with a 40T or 39T one will make the Shadow 600 highway (130 kp/h cruise speed) capable... right? #9 - All you have to do to get a nice sound out of a Shadow 600 is the holesaw mod and get the baffles/db-killers out

I’ve owned many bikes . Styles , sizes , everything from a mini bike to a Valkyrie, To Dyna Harley . The most comfortable bike I’ve ever owned or ridden was a 2004 Aero 750 shadow . A little under powered IMO . I’m 250 pounds 6’1” and wife is a buck 10 . Not so sure any 750 would handle that weight on a grade . Flat ground it was fine but hitting the hills it struggled . A set of crash bars and forward pegs with a mustang seat gave me ample room to stretch my legs . I went from that to a Valkyrie. Now that had power but ,,,,, there was the absence of nimbleness. As a bobber ?? I can totally see the 750 being then perfect platform to cruise around town

I need straight shotgun pipes for my 07 VT1100C2. V&H doesn’t make them anymore. 😞

[@thomaswaldorf9141]

I wish you would review the 06 shadow saber 1100

[@skottlee8959]

The shadow sabre is a bad ass bike. I would get an other one in a heartbeat

[@grj512]

I had an 02 I laid down then replaced it with an 07. These bikes are so comfortable to ride. Both VT1100’s.

[@Joebauers2505]

Only 2 bikes ive owned that didnt fail me. My honda Vlx and my honda Cb400t rather upset i sold them.

Proof Is in the pudding

Love my 97

Selling my spottster and either getting vlx 600 or vulcan 800.

[@TJBRUTALCUSTOMS]

I'm obviously biased but the 600 is the jam! 😎🍻

[@dylanhines8256]

hey tj man i got a question and idk if im just being dumb or not, sorry if its a dumb question but i figured i’d ask, my shadow has a problem its a single carb but the slide wont move the throttle cable is connected there’s no slack in the line or anything, it ran fine awhile ago but one day it just wouldn’t move, is this a problem with the vacuum? i’d appreciate if you could get back to me, thanks man

[@TJBRUTALCUSTOMS]

Pull it apart man. Could just be some dirt in there🤷🏻‍♂️

[@dylanhines8256]

@@TJBRUTALCUSTOMSso found out what was the matter, there was a small tear in the rubber boot for the slide, fixed that and it still wouldn’t start so i ended up bypassing the afp bc i seen in a video that it goes bad easy boom fired up with ease thank you man

[@smokeyheadspace1607]

Have you ever chopped a 2005 shadow 1300. (My bike)

[@TJBRUTALCUSTOMS]

not chopped but done some modifications to.

[@sveyrunes]

Thank you !

2 years ago I got a 2006 Shadow 600 Deluxe with 9k mileage and my only complaint is when I go 60 in a 45 I still have cars passing me

[@TJBRUTALCUSTOMS]

Gotta tune it up mang!!

[@DareDevil0504]

@TJBRUTALCUSTOMS yea probably it's been a slow process for me to work on it with my life schedule but it only has 9000 miles when I bought it and now has a little under 13000 miles but it did sit in a basement for 10 years collecting dust when I bought it and the person rebuilt the carb before they shipped it down to me but also since I got it after the first 6 months I spent 6 months tracking down a fuel leak problem I thought was the carb but turned out being the fuel pump, been watching your videos the last few days to learn more on tuning and stuff since last time me and my step dad worked on tuning his old bike he gave me for graduation 11 years ago it ended in him catching it in fire

Thanks big bro thatvideo on idle being to low helped me oiy traminfauslee ur awesome

[@mayfairsmith4697]

I want to build that bike. Which model you start with?

[@edwardkeeter762]

I think you'd want a 600 or the 750 Shadow RS, as those were both chain drive models and l think otherwise most shadows are shaft drive.

[@mayfairsmith4697]

@@edwardkeeter762thanks

[@TJBRUTALCUSTOMS]

This is a Vt600 2007.

[@notorioussd1286]
