I've started a project on my 1997 Honda Shadow ACE which has taken many moons waiting on parts. Currently I am in the finalizing process of electrical before I put the bike back together. So far I have everything figured out except for these two ring connector wires. Which has 1 Ring connector...

Hi all! I'm new here to the forum Hope you are well! So, unfortunately I've dropped the bike (s*** happens) and my rear break is bent. My mechanic suggested to buy a new rear break and swap it with the bent one. My question is: is it really unrealistic to get the pedal straightened back into...

I have a 2001 VT1100C that was giving me problems killing batteries. First, I replaced the rectifier since it was the least expensive and I am on a budget, but when that didn't correct the problem I then replaced the stator as well. Now I'll ask that you allow me a moment to swallow my pride...

Hello, I am new to motorcycle’s and picked this bike up as my first. I got it for $75 from a family friend. It had been sitting for I’d guess about 7-8 years. I’ve gone through and cleaned the carbs. Replaced most fuel lines, the petcock, and the tires. Now it runs and idles good. I’ve run into...

Hello. A few years ago I picked up a 99 shadow 1100. I rebuilt the carb and got it all back together along with anew battery and a fresh oil change. It needed some work to pass inspection but I got into nursing school so I had to set it aside. It sat for about 2.5 years in upstate new york and...

Hey everyone, finally got my first bike and I'm proud to have a Phantom. Have been absolutely loving it, so simple and comfortable. Already got a solid aftermarket LED headlight and the V&H exhaust is on the way. I'm struggling because I absolutely love the look of a solo seat with the...

So, I took on a project bike knowing basically nothing about working on a bike. It's a shadow750 frame, with a Shadow 1100 motor build. I think it's mostly all there. Missing battery, turn signals, mostly odd and end stuff. The wiring harness does not look right. Some things are capped off. Some...

Hi everyone! I’m working on the two carbs from my 1985 Honda Shadow vt500c. This is the second time I’m attempting this, as my first time was unsuccessful. I have a few questions. When installing a new (same size, 38) pilot jet, you lightly butt it all the way in, and then bring it 2 1/4...

I recently bought a 1997 Honda shadow. I am having a few issues with it, first of all it doesn’t idle right at all it slows down almost stalls then revs back up a little. Also it doesn’t feel like it has the power it used to have at all especially in the cold. And the biggest thing is it’s only...
