Keep ‘em coming brotha! Sharing knowledge and information can never be overstated. Everyone has to start somewhere….a lot of folks seem to forget that at some point, they didn’t know jack-diddly until info was shared with them. Thanks for keeping the information current flowing. - Mike

[@drewherbi]

Where is the shop though? *prays for sw fl knowing its prob socal*

[@BrianDoherty-e8s]

Nothing better than a shop that specializes in one bike model. Gotta love those decorations you have sprangled all over. I tend to wander off the topic you are explaining to check out the background. Nice that you have some jugs of snake bite over by the microwave. Got to be ready in case something slithers through the door. Cool channel and worth many hoots! Dang entertaining and informative also.

[@HighonSkidRow]

Perhaps I’m biased , but my 03 Spirit 750 is the best. The lowering struts Z-Bars and black vented risers from TJ definitely contribute to my Spirit being the best.

[@OldeThunderCC]

The struts and z bars automatically give you like 25 more HP 😅

@@OldeThunderCC I finally got to ride this past Saturday. I definitely felt those extra 25 pony’s.

[@vgullotta]

You can always look up the specs on total motorcycle, they usually tell you the engine specs including if it is single or dual carb. Not really a VIN decoder, but it has always been accurate for me =)

[@TJBRUTALCUSTOMS]

Thanks for the info!

[@TJBRUTALCUSTOMS]

And thanks for the comment!

[@OfficialChrissums]

you mentioned that you remove a lot of crap from the front of the bike and recommend removing the push cable. Could you make a video explaining why and showing what should be removed? im curious

[@Egnalnodnarb]

He has a video showing how to install his single cable throttle

[@TJBRUTALCUSTOMS]

It's been covered in a few other videos on the channel 👌👌😎😎

[@ernestososa2892]

They way he point out the things he was talking about 😂 good job.

[@TJBRUTALCUSTOMS]

💪😂

[@alexmason3601]

Do you happen to have a tutorial on how to use the tuning kit for the single carb honda shadow

[@TJBRUTALCUSTOMS]

video is already in the works.

[@vermhot]

I’m wonder why the purpose of removing the push cable off the carburetors for ?

[@big_air_jer9768]

Clean up the look as most switch to a single cable throttle sleeve too. Also one lest thing to break and cause you issues down the road. The carb has a spring which returns the cable perfectly fine, just like the design dirtbikes use. Lastly, safety 3rd😂

[@TJBRUTALCUSTOMS]

It's govt mandated equipment. It slows throttle response. I've never had a pull cable get stuck open but I've had a push cable get stuck in the housing and prevent the throttle from rolling off. You don't need it.

[@chrislewis4830]

Ok heres my question i have a dual carb bike could it be converted to a single?? And if so what would be the pros and cons (eg performance / lumpy/etc ) and i would really like to remove the horrible triangle filter case and replace it for something better without all the plastic ducting wrapping around my engine from the left side to the right

[@TJBRUTALCUSTOMS]

Jesus fuck no, 🤦‍♂️ i get this question way too often and ive seen at lest 2 dozen of these bikes get absolutely shitbricked becuse of this idea.. Dual carb is literally race shit. Honda moved to singke carb to "reduce emissions thanks to certain agencies bullshit. One carb per cylinder allows for better precise tuning for each cylinder and perfect flow to each cylinder. You can get our stacks and performance tuning kit to get rid of the stock airbox and filter. I strongly suggest you read this article which I wrote that outlines why attempting to change a honda shadow dual carb bike to a single carb bike is a very bad idea And really sheds light on it. It will make a lot of sense- support.shoptjbc.com/article/53-how-do-i-convert-my-dual-carb-setup-to-a-single-carb-setup

@@TJBRUTALCUSTOMS thanks buddy if you say so ill follow your recommendation i just really hate the wrap around plastic bullshite and the filter. I clicked on your link it says page error not found

[@andrewrucks3128]

​@chrislewis4830 I highly recommend getting the performance rebuild kit and velocity stacks from TJ Brutal, cleans up the bike a ton, getting rid of stock air filter and tubing related to it

[@stanleydenning]

I wonder if it is possible to convert my Shadow from carburated to EFI... That would be cool.

[@TJBRUTALCUSTOMS]

Anythingbis possible but it's not worth the time or money when you can buy an efi bike for a fraction of the money you'd need to dump into a conversion. And the conversion def won't run as well🤷🏻‍♂️

Can u tell me what buckhorns bars will work without changing cables on my 2007 vlx Thank you

I cannot because theres no magic formula my man. however theres an easy way to figure it out and for cheap! check out this video i made! - kzbin.info/www/bejne/kHvFpKOpftqsl7Msi=m0rhCVKLcZMg9fps

[@XanderTO]

Why would we remove the push cable?? What's the benefit from it? Really want to know

[@TJBRUTALCUSTOMS]

It slows throttle response. It can get stuck and make it hard for the throttle to return to idle. It's unnecessary govt bullshit that every bike mfr has to do. You seriously don't need it. Remove it and ride, and tell me how bad it sucks. You'll love it 🤣 I promise you.

[@miguelherrera408]

My bike was a dual carb but it was a 01 honda shadow spirit

[@TJBRUTALCUSTOMS]

Yes the 01 spirit was a dual carb. The aero was a single carb, the ace was dual. Did you have a question?

[@giamademedoit]

I have. There are many Shadow 600 for sale where I live and as far as I know anything after 99 should have the single carb. So far so good. Another tale sign I know so far is that the newer model from 99 has side panels separated from the rear mudguard, which is also the "duck" type. My confusion is that I see a lot of bikes after 99 without the duck rear fender... Idk if that is only for the VLX and the VLX being a US model and the vt600 a EU one? Totally confused. I think I have to travel the country and check each one's carbs :(

[@dylantendoornkaat6155]

What is actually the difference between a double and a single carb? Sometimes people rebuild bikes with standard 2 carbs into a single, what is the reason for this?

[@TJBRUTALCUSTOMS]

Beside all of our awesome KZbin videos we are sorry but we don't offer any additional building advice.

[@kagiv]

Which is better?

[@danielrickel8807]

The real question is can your performance bolt on’s give me 100mph ?

[@jonathanhodgkins7735]

Velocity stacks jets and exhaust my vt750 making 106

[@TJBRUTALCUSTOMS]

If you can't hit 100 on any of these bikes with these upgrades there's something else going on or you didn't install them properly or you're too heavy for the bike. So, yes.

So could you give me some insight on my confusion? My friend has a 2002 Honda shadow 600, stock with a dual carburetor set up. I just got a free parts bike 2001 shadow 600, has a single carb setup. Now why does my buddies 2002 have a dual carburetor if they stopped in 98?

[@TJBRUTALCUSTOMS]

They made both,

[@manofsteele212]

@ that’s what I was assuming, it threw me off on your video when you said 99+ swapped to single carb and I couldn’t find a straight forward answer to my question

[@abruptlyblunt]

honestly if a bike owner needs to be told how to tell if they have one carb or two carbs then someone needs to take their tools away because they're too cognitively challenged to work on a motorcycle, they're the kind of people who reverse the carb jets and pinch the slide diaphragm when reassembling carbs then can't figure out why the bike won't run............
