Why you need to Buy a Cheap Honda Shadow Motorcycle 750 1983 VT750C POV Project

[@raverco2154]

Nice work. I have a 83 Shadow VT750C project as well. Just got her running and cleaned up. Have to find a clutch and front break master cylinder for her, bleed them, then I will be real close to getting her on the road for her first test drive. Enjoying all your videos, keep it up!

I had an 83 750 for years, hard to get parts in my country... sold it and still miss it. Great bike

[@mcycleshawn]

@@ukuswa these days you need to have multiple parts bike to keep them going. I get your pain

I bought a 86 Honda shadow 750 absolutely great bike

Thanks for helping me in the comments of your other video. I’m living in Thailand and I bought one of these (a 1983 identical Japanese version called the nv750), for $1300. One owner, stored inside, it runs and looks near perfect except for having to fuck with some some electrical. The riding position is kind of funny but the power and nostalgia are worth it lol. The throttle is so snappy too on these

[@mcycleshawn]

That’s what it’s all about! Very happy you are having fun with it

I picked up a 86 vt700c at the beginning of this year to learn to ride on. Took it out twice before I started looking for a faster bike. Found a 82 Kawasaki kz650 cafe racer and it handles the abuse much better. I still have put 600 miles on it but it’s definitely meant to cruise and if you’ve owned fast cars a 14 sec bike doesn’t hold you’re interest for long.

Where did you get parts for the bike? I need a oil pump.😢

[@mcycleshawn]

Let me see if I have one. I can let you know

[@turkoviola]

hola, tendrías la tapa de balancines del cilindro delantero de la vt750c 1983? haces envíos a Argentina?

[@mcycleshawn]

I’ll need to check inventory but I believe I have a cover. I’ll get back to you

If you don't wise up and slow down your riding, you're gonna be Normal Guy Gone Bye Bye.

[@mcycleshawn]

Luckily this bike doesn’t go very fast in a hurry. 😆

[@arthursmith3401]

Dude, that clutch is just screaming for adjustment, or replacement!!¡! It's killing me!!!!!

[@mcycleshawn]

That’s an interesting observation. I’m not sure how I would adjust the clutch being a hydraulic system🤔

[@Poppinwheeeeellllllieeeeez]

If you pop open the clutch and use some heavy grit sandpaper on the metal disks it will hook much better.

[@arthursmith3401]

@@mcycleshawn mebbe I should have used caps, OR REPLACEMENT

​@@mcycleshawnso, I overstand your statement bud. I just replaced my 83 vt750c clutch with the barnett Kevlar plates and new steels. After that, my slave wasn't pushing enough, so I hit the slave rebuild with piston kit. All gravy after that. He's talking about when you hammered down, rpm shot up, and speed slowly started increasing. Personally, I did have that happen once, on a brand new, un soaked clutch with synthetic oil, and filter. BTW, my current 83 vt750c ran me 950 with title, just clutch problems. Right place, right time. Great job on the bike bud!
