Restoring an old 1985 honda shadow

[@edwardkipp4911]

I like what you say at the end, " but sometimes older, doesn't mean it is less than... and i think alot of people forget that." Powerful words!

[@frizzyfrancfm]

I got one right now, it's having battery draining issues, I've never worked on a car or motorcycle before but I'm going to start with this bike. Hope I can get it running again.

[@newmansown7738]

I think I'm going to try and do the same! Neighbor has got a 1984 he's selling says it needs all the works fluid changes, tune, brakes and looking for where to start

[@ericdelgado1303]

you did an amazing Job. Thank you!!! for the step by step, you truly my Sir are the G.O.A.T

I think the fold down pegs towards the back are highway pegs for the passenger, 😆.

[@Ladosligese]

it is yes ;)

[@fordboss9275]

I had a black one just like that from new and it was a fun, comfortable cruiser!

[@impudentonetheonly]

How did you get the saddle off????

[@Ftgf1111]

How much would the restoration cost, im looking at buying one

[@VehicleHunter]

THe one thing i realized is that costs are high because parts are difficult to find. If you go full on restore to the original it costs more. But if you get universal stuff on ebay it's very cheap. Always good to get a shadow they seem to have many parts available if you want to restory to their original glory.

[@VehicleHunter]

i didn't spend alot on it, but it took more time than money to get it going.

[@Ftgf1111]

@@VehicleHunter awesome, i ask because i want a little side project that i can work on when im bored but not break the bank, i dont mind ebay parts i mostly just want something to ride around base lol

[@thatdudemoe9109]

Caveat being the ONE thing it is hard nay nearly important to get parts size is a decent TANK. LOL. Ask me how I know. I had to go and get a doner bike, and then do electrolysis on it, and reseal it. Technically speaking though the tank is available, but it's PRICY brand new.

Where's the carb clean video?? Super interested in that.

I'm trying to get my 85 shadow 500 a New ignition switch I'm having trouble finding the one with the right wiring harness can you send me a link to the one you purchased

[@Ladosligese]

since she sat for years and years .. did you change the tires before you took her out ?

[@JorgesUsername]

Cool video.

[@1Ron5mith]

Awesome!

[@majestic_irrelevance]

I had an 85 shadow, now I have a shadow ace. Enjoy, it's a fun ride!

[@surfman8388]

What feels better ?

[@majestic_irrelevance]

@@surfman8388 the ace is more comfortable for long rides and a total dad bike. Easy to use and maintain. The 85 shadow was more fun but harder to handle. Heavier and too much engine. But it looked freaking cooler.

[@surfman8388]

@@majestic_irrelevance I found 700vt with 6 speed and 40k kms. Looking for the first bike to just ride around. I like it because of good reviews and it's crazy cheap to have it insured here (1/10 from normal bike)

[@majestic_irrelevance]

@@surfman8388 have fun and be safe, love both my shadows!

[@robmarley9613]

So much information you could have included in this. Finding this video was a real disappointment.
