How To Extend The Forks On Your Honda Shadow - Honda Shadow Fork Extension Kit

[@zyanlopez4539]

if you’re bar setup allows it, what i did was thread the extensions into tubes while everything was still tight and then loosened the pinch bolts and jacked up the bike until everything lined up. very efficient if possible and less time with the bike on a sketchy home garage jack. LONG AINT WRONG 🤘🤘

[@sultanheart]

Bars will always be on the way

[@ashtonr6751]

Could just remove your bars, what on most bikes it's just 4 Allen bolts. Even if it's internally wired you could just shimmy the bars out of the way.

[@smashlizard]

I have a 750 Aero so it has covers over the upper forks. I was thinking of a way to do this without having to remove the entire fork tube. Thank you.

[@claytonwatson3358]

@@smashlizard will these fit the 750 aero. I really want to get some but not sure if they will match up

[@smashlizard]

@@claytonwatson3358 Not sure. I thought about rolling the dice but have not pulled the trigger yet. I've been meaning to get ahold of TJBrutalCustoms and see what he thinks.

[@realms89]

You did mine years ago. It was a 14"over on a black vlx600 with apes and an obnoxiously tall sissy bar. Thanks again

[@whatyoumakeofit6635]

All that and a half second clip of the finished bike. That was a bummer. Come on guys !!!! I'm just busting your balls. Looks like a great product and a super easy way to lengthen the front end. Very cool.

[@Syriondeathvow]

I wrecked my 600 in 2018, but I'm happy you're still in business. Best wishes Tj.

[@potatothorn]

love these, wish i could have gotten them 10 years ago. my 2001 shadow has 70,000 miles and the second set of front forks are almost done for the bike wont last long enough to justify these but they sure look like fun. i have the 750 Spirit bars on my 600 these would go well with the look. I got the solid handlebar bushings from you guys, really helped smooth things out.

[@TJBRUTALCUSTOMS]

Wish i could time travel for you dude! Bring you some extensions 10 yrs ago! What kinda stuff would you like to see us offer now?

[@potatothorn]

@@TJBRUTALCUSTOMS i'll tell you another item that fell apart and maybe for others too: the headlight holder assembly. my glass and most of the stuff that held the bulb in all vibrated apart until it literally fell off the bike. had to replace with a really cheap thing that does not really fit the headlight mount part on the forks. a replacement from honda is like $3-400 and not really available... people might like something that attaches to the bracket on the forks .....

[@kevinperry5816]

I'm to lazy to get new cables 😅 and my bars are tall enough I'm already stretching them out.... But damn that rise looks good. I think I would prefer a 3-4 over though. 6 over might be a bit much depending on the build

[@leviolson110]

New editing for your videos! Well done. I'm impressed. Totally different vibe.

[@twobroskarting2302]

Damnit bro! Another part I want

[@anarchybronze]

I just had mine installed on my 04 honda shadow aero the pueces are fucking solid heavy metal and looks amazing, the handling difference is very minimal its even more comfortable on front suspension

[@lightspeedguru]

This is awesome! I need these extensions. Would love to see a video on how to extend the control cables. That part kind of scares me a little.

[@lightspeedguru]

@@TJBRUTALCUSTOMS I watched your video about how to figure out the length of cables needed but I found it (and you) because I was actually looking for a tutorial on how to replace the handlebars and all of the cables if I got new handlebars that brought the controls back (I have short arms apparently). I really like the buck horn bars you have... (or maybe I'll get some six bend bars?) But I still can't really find Honda Shadow specific info on how to install longer cables... and then there is that hose that comes out of something I think the cool kids call a 'master cylinder'? I think I need that. Anyways, thanks for the cool video and I'm definitely ordering those fork extensions as soon as I figure out how to replace my cables. If you start selling six bends, I'll buy those too!

[@letscheckitout1985]

Wow who is that Eric guy. He looks so dreamy and tough

[@DjSharpey666]

Nice job!

[@demra3039]

Just a question if I may. Are these extensions safe to use? cause several forums I checked said they weren't and were deemed dangerous due to flex in the fork which might cause the threaded point to fold.

[@Mike-yd9gq]

Good Question but I think since the threaded portion is in between the triple tree's it safe to be the least likely area to flex the joint. I could 100% be scared if the threads were below the bottom trees.

[@PoppyRaid]

I agree in engineering terms that makes good sence 👊👍✌️🏌️‍♂️

[@stanleydenning]

VT600. Just a little short in cc's for being a real bike. I love my VT 750. 😁

[@jasonwehrling738]

Do they work on all shadows or just the 600? Will they fit my 01 vt750 Ace? Love the videos keep up the good work.

[@JeremiahWillis-jm4wi]

Do you sell a longer kickstand so that it’s not leaning so much? I bought the fork extensions and love the look but it makes the bike feel a lot heavier since it’s leaning over so much.

[@TJBRUTALCUSTOMS]

Over here, the lean is super fuckin cool. Very og chopper look. But I'll think about a longer kickstand.

[@jeffreystroman2811]

Doesn't that change the geometry of one of the best handling twins to ever come from Japan?

[@grj512]

I've heard that these can weaken the integrity of the fork tube at the top and possibly even crack due to flex where they thread in. Any truth to this?

[@TJBRUTALCUSTOMS]

no dude. the forks dont flex between the top clamps. the forks CAN POTENTIALLY flex below the bottom clamp. this is why i dont make these extensions to go past the lower clamp. these are super safe.

After having worked on 2 shadows I'll never touch another. Too much factory stuff needs to be changed for the bike to be decent. With that said atleast someone is out here making cool parts for people who basically have zero options 👍

[@oldleatherjkt]

Does it increase handle bar height?

[@TJBRUTALCUSTOMS]

Um, no. Handlebar height can only be changed with new bars, or risers. With extensions The whole bike tips back pivoting on the rear axle. The actual handlebar height can't change thought the overall height from the ground changes.

Is it possible to add two sets of fork extensions?

[@TJBRUTALCUSTOMS]

No. That would be an unwise idea. Like drinking a bottle of exlax, and going to a wedding hoping you don't need to use the bathroom. The fork extensions of the 70's delved too far and too deep into chopper town ignoring the wisdom of the elders. Putting two extension joints in your forks, one of which is below the lower triple, is waiting fir an authoritative pothole to send you face first into the pavement. So, no.

[@Interscoped]
