[Work_In_Progress]

Hello all... New guy here from Southern Illinois. Fairly new to riding. Started on a little Rebel til I got the hang of riding and recently graduated to a 2004 Honda Shadow Aero. Love it!! Looking forward to learning a lot here.

Welcome to the forum. LOTS of people here that are eager to help with issues or just questions in general. Have fun and be safe. I hope those "diamond plate" floor boards don't get slick when they get wet. Bike looks really good.

I'm new to floor boards in general and I'm not sure what I think of them yet. They are more comfortable on long rides to me, but they're so BIG. Kind of feels in the way at times. If I do leave them on I'll look into maybe getting some kind of nonslip surface put on them.

Welcome! The forum is a great place for a "new" rider. Nice looking bike, I have those same saddlebags

I have those same saddlebags

Those bags are really nice and seem to be fairly common. I've wondered if they were a factory option on some years?

Welcome..I stsrtrdn3 uears ago on a cherry red Honda rebel and bought a 2008 shadow aero this uear when I joined the women's riding group stilettos on steel. I am in central illinois and riding down to fast Eddie's on Monday with the girls. We are riding down to shawnee in July. I live my aero and have it all blinged out. It's candy apple red and pearl white

If I'm not mistaken I believe the brand is Leatherlyke. I wouldn't think they would have been a factory option but can't say I'm a 100% sure on that. They are nice bags and I'm always amazed at what I fit in there!

They have been out of business for quite some time. All.i see now are ads for vikings which I have on both mine

I've never actually looked them up. My bike is a '99 and I really have no idea when the PO added the bags, I've owned her for 5 years now.

My wife has floorboards on her 2014 Aero and I don’t like them!!! They get in the way when I have to move her bike around. I will stick to pegs,,,
