Gearing up for next year - Honda Shadow Forums : Shadow Motorcycle Forum

wxohio88 · 11-16-2012, 06:56 PM

So next year there is some touring planned. One trip is around 1200 miles. So I have a honda shadow spirit 750 c2. I am fairly tall so I decided to get the scootmod 6 inch extensions, I have floorboards, cramp buster with a throttle lock. I also already have saddle bags. I plan on getting a mustang seat and possibly a windshield (Not sure how I feel about it still). Can you think of anything else I may need or haven't thought of yet?

How Long of a Trip? I did almost 900 miles in 32 Hrs and a week later my Body hated me for it on my 03 Spirit with most of the goodies you described minus the saddlebags and floorboards

I see lots of people with huge sissy bar packs when they go on long trips. They sit on the luggage rack and look like a tower of cloth.

The trip itself is about 1200 miles. When my forward control extensions come in I will take a picture of them.

What is the Time Frame for the trip.A week,a weeekend...I did 469 in 8 hrs coming back from Daytona 2 yrs ago

I recommend the windshield. I've got an '08 750C2 with a Mustang wide touring seat (it's really comfortable) and a Memphis Shades deflector.

You also might consider a GPS/phone mount.

Thats what the Big glass speedo head is For.Perfect spot for the GPS and it shows your speed also

The majority of the trip will be done in about 3 days depending on stops.
