Honda Shadow Vlx 600 CUSTOM EXHAUST

Exhaust build for my Honda shadow build.

[@ferminsoberanes855]

How are you going to remove the oil cap? 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@astroman295]

I thought the same, then i saw this comment 😂

[@earnieb5318]

I like it...Vlx 600s continue to impress me. For the investment and things you can do. I like they way they ride...Great job with the fab..TY

[@uwotm8113]

Removing the exhaust constantly.

[@hackee11]

Did you rejet your pilot and main jet? Or just tune your air fuel mixture screw?

[@fabforfun8302]

I only tuned the air fuel mixture screw

[@dylonpeters1274]

How did you get the 1.75 pipe to fit the back pipe bracket and what did you weld for the start of the back bracket? I have a 2000 shadow and can’t figure out how to make the 1.75 pipe fit!

[@TruththeRealist]

Awesome vid! Thank you!

[@wilmerpola5548]

I don't care what anybody says. In my opinion the Shadow 600 VLX is the best sound HONDA bike period.

[@stuttgurth]

Yeah I was very surprised by this as well. Its true.

[@SFJ.Sparky]

Great job !!!! I have a 03 shadow 1100 I want to change out the pipes on.

[@zachayers8086]

Vlx 600 shadow extremely fun bike to ride

[@fabforfun8302]

I agree, its also a great learner bike to ride!

[@swordsmith3785]

I've got a VT500 with short straight pipes. The engine dies at high speed "inconsistantly". When I release the throttle, it comes back. I was told the carbs need to be re-jetted. Are you having any problems like that??

[@luckyyou200]

Yeah you definitely need to rejet after running and open unrestricted exhaust

[@fabforfun8302]

I did not have have any problem like that. I did not rejet my carbs because I kept the stock air filter but I did adjust the vacuum screws on both carbs

[@douglaslamb70]

I think it needs rejetted, pipes are bluing

[@fabforfun8302]

Yes it ran super rough after I did the exhaust, but once I adjusted the air fuel mixture, it ran great. The bluing has also mostly went away

[@Cod-Convict]

Pretty nice job I would have welded a support bracket on the back of the pipe wear they come together and you have to wrap it for shur but it’s a beautiful job and for your first time real nice and sounds great

[@user735_]

It sounds sort of like 'glub, glub, glub' like if it was underwater

[@stuttgurth]

They probably have different sizes because one is a different length than the other. Thus an attempt to keep backpressure the same.

[@SUPPORTYOURSELF]

Pipes look great!

[@fabforfun8302]

Thank you!

[@Pain-bf8mr]

That’s a man’s bike right there, looks amazing

[@adams13f]

Sounds good with straight pipes!

I got a harley 2 into 1 and modified it using the honda mounts. I think it was also 100 but I've never seen a shadow with it so I'd say I'm the first

Thanks for the kit link! Just want to do a 2 into 1 with a large outlet. Plan on having it chromed also!

It’s removable lmao, there’s enough space

[@lonestarlonewolf]

Not all heroes wear capes 😭 that Amazon link you gave to one of the people who commented, was the same exact one you have? I don't have an eBay account as you mentioned you got it from

[@fabforfun8302]

Yes I ordered through Amazon and it was the same link. The kit comes with a bunch of random bends so you just have to be creative!

Very Nice

Are those short exhaust increase heat to those engines or not?...

I did not have any issues of increase of heat

[@mykpearson8085]

How you gonna check your oil? Just curious.

[@fabforfun8302]

I’m still able to unscrew the cap, the pipes are in front of it just enough

[@703Bugeye]

what jets did u go with on the dual carb setup

[@fabforfun8302]

It’s a 98 so it came with a dual carb setup. I have the factory jets in them, but I’m not sure the size

[@maikyjoebohmer1722]

[@fabforfun8302]

If you scroll down a bit, I sent the link to one of the guys asking for it!

[@radekadamczyk8438]

What pipe diameter is that and wallthickness? Thanks in advance.

[@fabforfun8302]

I believe it is 1 3/4 inch and i'm not entirely sure on the thickness.

[@scarfacemendizabaful]

Mi ingles no es bueno asinque espero traduzcas mi pregunta, que pasa con el retorno de aire no tienes problemas en las valvulas? Tu motor dispara o algun problema en el.rendimiento de la moto por no tener el.exahust completo saludos

[@fabforfun8302]

con el escape corto hay que ajustar el tornillo de mezcla de aire y combustible. si no los ajusta, la motocicleta se volverá contraproducente y funcionará mal

[@markust.8368]

How did this exhaust mod effect on the torq? They say that if you do a short pipes it will dramatically drop down torq.

[@fabforfun8302]

I didn’t notice it to much but if you do experience it greatly, you can rejet to gain it back

[@e.l.9589]

I put a tractor exhaust rain cap. The door opens under exhaust pressure.

[@JSTJPN]

Excellent job. I have a 2000 shadow 1100 and get find any decent sounding exhaust. This looks and sounds great.

[@beardedcatguitarplus9485]

Great job on that. I want to get some bends so bad to make a custom exhaust for three of my bikes. I have 2 1984 Yamaha virago xv700 and a 1982 Yamaha maxim xj750. Can really have fun with the maxim cause it’s a 4 cylinder. I just subscribed to your channel you do some good work. If you want you can see my slow builds on mine. I’d love your advice especially on exhaust

[@jedielder7970]

Did you have to do any re-jetting afterwards? Just curious. I need to get one of those welders... I only have a regular stick welder.

[@fabforfun8302]

I did not rejet afterwards. All I did was adjust air mixture screw

[@jedielder7970]

@@fabforfun8302 Thanks!

[@villekauppinen5598]

Air mixture screw adjust fuel-air mixture only on idle. When you hit the gas fuel-air mixture is adjustet by rejetting. You should rejet always when you change intake or exhaust. Atleast check spark plugs, they shouldn't be white that means bike is running lean.

[@jradish]

The exhaust looks great,, What did you use for flanges? The stock ones you said.

[@fabforfun8302]

I used the flanges from the old exhaust

[@04sti20]

Yeah I went back and seen that. Sorry. Lol. You said you just adjusted the air fuel mix and it ran better? I have a 95 with the dual carb also

[@fabforfun8302]

Yes, adjusting the air fuel mix greatly improved driveability and reduced the popping

Prepare to do a topend rebuild . Rear cylinder burnt out exhaust valve . About 26inches is as short as you can go without restrictions . Good effort though
