Centre of Gravity on Spirit 1100 - Honda Shadow Forums : Shadow Motorcycle Forum

Does anybody have a sense of where the centre of gravity (fore and aft) is on a Spirit 1100?

I'm building a lift for my bike and the cradle I've designed is centered on the engine, but my eye tells me the CG is further aft than that.

Any ideas?

Use a floor jack under it and see where it balances when you lift it up.

You know . . . that right there is a good idea. I'll give it a try.
