shineycrab, WELCOME to the club!

Are you SURE the fuel pump crapped out??
I bought my Shadow 3 1/2 years ago with 20k miles on it. Early last year, while riding round the block she gave out, just sputtered twice, then died! She had a full tank of fresh fuel. A (knowledgeable) friend tracked it down to a faulty "fuel cutoff re-lay".

You may want to check it out, hate to see you get stranded thinking it's a bad pump again!
