So my bike has been garaged for a while due to an electrical issue. I ran the bike from summer till November in 2020, but in 2021 I went to get it back out but it wouldnt start easy so I replaced the battery but never got it back out. Now when I turn the key nothing lights up or anything, I had...

Before I even explain what keeps happening yes I cleaned my carbs, got a new battery, new plugs, coolant, fuel pump, 30 amp main fuse, and tuned the carb beautifully. I bought this as my first bike to both work on and ride but I and a few others are stumped. The bike will idle beautifully, and...

Hi folks - It's a specific request, but I'm wondering if anyone has access to/can tell me what the stock wire length is for the stock brake/taillight assembly? Would like to know the length of the wire that came stock with it (from the base to the connector). Thank you!

So I recently purchased a 93 Honda shadow vt600 that has begun a bobber conversion. The previous owner was having issues with getting it started. So I got it home and I hooked up jumper cables because the battery was dead. As soon as I introduced power to the bike, the starter automatically...

I’m not mechanically inclined but if something is simple enough I might give it a go. My 2004 shadow aero 750 is great but today on my way to work the headlight kept going out. It happened maybe 4-5 times on a 60 mile trip but it looked like I was trying to flash the car in front of me. I...

Hey guys! First post so don’t be too hard on me! I have a 2011 shadow 750 aero fuel injected. So I installed some aftermarket turn signals(bullet style 2 wire) onto the shadow and they worked perfectly fine for the last two weeks. Well today I took the bike out and gave her a wash, turn...

Hi there, I just replaced my turn signal with an OEM replacement for my 08 Aero. Nothing LED or fancy. Just the same one as before. After I did, both turn signals are flashing double time now. Anyone know why that’s happening and how to fix it?

Hey all, having some issues recently with my bike. Never had problems starting her up past seasons but this year she took a little coxing at first but then fired up as usual. Did sound a bit rough, thought poss need new plugs. As I rode up the road gave some throttle and she sputtered, almost...

2004 Shadow Spirit 1100. The stator to rectifier plug under the seat was alarmingly hot. Read a lot of posts recommending cutting out plug and connecting wires directly. I did that. Here’s my question. How warm should those wires be? There noticeably cooler than before but still warm to the...

A buddy of mine has an '87 vt700 with about 12k miles on it that I'm considering purchasing; he says it's been in storage for 3-4 years and was working when put in storage (he has two Urals that are his daily rides). We drove about 45 minutes out to where it's being stored. We hooked up a...

Hi everyone, I have a 2001 Honda shadow 600 VLX. I recently did a battery replacement and oil change on the bike. After the the work, everything was running fine. I let it sit for about a day on the charger and the next time I tried to start it, I wasn’t getting power. I moved the wires around...

I recently bought a 2005 shadow vlx 600 The front turn signals work but the rear don’t. plus the rear running lights work but when you hit the brake either the foot or handle bar the brake light won’t light up. The turn signal relay clicks and works for the front just nothing in the back I’m...

Hi guys, I've pretty much tried everything and am now turning to you guys for help. I am building this bobber and I can't seem to get power to any of the switches, headlights or the cluster lights. I already replaced the stator solenoid thinking that was the reason but no. I can jump the...
