I think it's awesome. Just never seen a cruiser that small before. I didn't even know they made them that small. I thought the 500s were the smallest Shadows. I have an electric that I built, it's probably equal to a 250. Little bikes like that are great for just running errands around town. Or just to work and back.

I took a quick look for you tonight. Talk about relative unobtainium! I would say you have two options:

1) Make good friends with your local Honda dealer Service Dept. See if one of them can get you a manual, even if you have to buy it. Or maybe you'll luck in like I did, and they'll give you access to their online stuff. Or...

2) I found manuals for similar models, like the CB150F and GLH150... but there's no telling HOW close they would be. They would also be of little use to you for body panels and the like. Grab a couple of those and use them as rough guides.

Honda is weird in that their offerings varied greatly, even between two countries right beside the other!

That Honda Shadow looks like a new model to me. I see some info available on a Costa Rican Honda website:

The internet says the engine is 57.3 x 57.8 mm bore x stroke single cylinder with two valves.

These specs match the engine that was used in the Honda CRF150 from 2006 until 2016.
To my eye, it looks like the same engine, or very close, for whatever that is worth.

Also, looks like the engine on the Honda Titan 150

It would be very stupid of Honda to make multiple different 150cc engines for different bikes. I would say it's a safe bet those are the same. The rest of the bike you can probably use parts from other Shadow models. Check your handlebar size for levers and switches. Cables are cables and hydrolic lines are hydrolic lines. Calipers and rotors might be off the CRF.

I'll take that bet.

- The PCX's engine is 60.0 mm x 55.5, and water cooled. That's different!

- 4 valves on CRF150R, bore x stroke is 66.0mm x 43.7mm. That's different for sure!

- The GL150 Cargo probably has the same basic engine as Shadow, but it is cased differently, and makes more horsepower:

Stupid Honda!, ... So, .... what did I win?

Good! You are the forum's official expert on the model now. I'm sure there are members besides myself who would like to know more about it. A few pictures and a description would be a nice start.

I thought it was odd that the specs at the Costa Rican link I posted, called out a drum front brake, but the picture showed a disc brake.
