get some floor boards for it an some lean back risers.

the exhaust are great. just put some ear plugs in. I wish I could get those pipes for my bike. But I have an 1100.

Nice one. :) Enjoyed.

i have the same bike too ive also been restoring it as well 1981 kz440 nice too see others with one as well

bro, I just bought a ltd 440 and I would like to know where you got spare parts, I'm from Mexico

Check the Honda Magna

Full system or slip on?

My VT1100C Spirit is 20 years old. Still going. The newer fuel injected 750s get a lot better MPG than my old gal.

I love these bikes!

OMGosh! I was not expecting to see you in that ensemble at the end! 😂🤣 Vicky does look great! 😃👍🏾

I'm saddened to hear that your business aspirations have been delayed and of Rufus' diagnosis. 🫂🙏🏾 I am glad that you were able to end your video listing what you're grateful for and what you're looking forward to in the future. ✨

Love what you've done with the bike. I am having an issue with my 81. Idles great but can't get top speed past 40mph. I know its a jetting issue. What size jets do you have in your carb?

Does it cruise comfortably at 110 kph as I’m looking at upgrading to it when I’m fully licensed I have the exact bike in the 400

Is that the stock tank?

He does not approve of your starter motor actually😂

Nice bike

Vacuum leak! Run it 1/2 throttle

What communist country do you live in America no inspection just go take title to dmv

how tall are you?

As a unofficial honda shadow PR apologist let me just say first, welcome to the shadow family. The more the merrier. Second and this is my opinion backed by years and tens of thousands of miles in sun rain snow and mud with a 99 honda shadow 750. I'll start this off by saying it's one of my favorite motorcycles before i even owned bikes. It was practical. That being said my advice is one of two paths the first being the one that seems more you. Stay stock but refresh everytime. OEM these bikes are dead reliable. OEM parts are cheap robust and easy to install or locate a mechanic who can. My first time having carb issues i had to walk into a shop and hand them a rebuild kit and say please. I didn't have a summer to figure it out. You're gonna want the baffles back in the exhaust if they're already out. They usually are drilled out already. It's a clean bulletproof suburban cruiser. Route number 2, get some combra high flow, stage 2 jet, velocity stack, advance the timing 4 degrees, and if you've got the chain driven model like mine drop your rear sprocket to 36 and the front to 16. (Or just go 38 tooth rear for a more highway usable end result) upgrade the clutch spring, and bam, honda shadow is now a super mean, incredibly lean, city crushing rock and roll machine. My most recent honda shadow 750 I've put 18k miles on in 2 years. Rode all winter last year through the snow and everything.

the pod filter isnt actually dirty, but the boot of the pod is getting in the way of the holes that the carb has at the mouth. take off the air filter section off of the pod filters and put the boots on youll be able to see that the boot is blocing necessary holes, you can shave it down with a razor or a rotary tool

Great vid Alan! Nice to meet you! 😎

Great video brother, I did the same ride. I also left at the midway point. Great bikes though.

Intro with a cat... it's gonna get me everytime. Also pretty jealous that you get autumn leaves with your DGR. We get spring rain storms lol (east coast usa)

I have that grin every time I hop on my shadow, great vid man!

ihave the ace 2003 .. i love that shadows 🥰 but as always " bigger is better " like the vtx adorable.. and i am from the group of loud pipes choices . the best thing for load pipes is that any neighborhood you pass through its just like you say i am here again M.Frs 😂

Looking very dapper!

Scrambler!??? Nah

Jesus crybaby. You should go to Europe to see what real winter looks like with 1+m of snow and -20 or more looks like.

Inspiring video. Great job! From Raleigh,NC USA

Are those the Longshots and what year is that bike?

The exhaust is fine. Dont change a thing man. It sounds amazing.

Could you possibly put a link to the starter motor rebuild kit you purchased? I might be in the same pickle you are with my bike lol. 😅 I had seen a few people on forums say to be careful which rebuild kit you get cause a lot of them don’t fit without cutting and grinding of bits and bobs.

My 82 kz440 ltd did the exact thing you’re describing just yesterday. 😢 I was riding it every day to commute. So thankful to find your channel 🙏🏼

Great video! I just want to make sure I’m understating this correctly. In your wiring diagram you mentioned that the positive terminal was used to ground the bike and the negative was used to connect to the relay circuit as well as the starter. Shouldn’t this be vice versa? I’m also referencing the wiring diagram for the same bike. Thank you for the great video!

Nice work

You can find Honda Shadow 750 with under 10k miles in the US for around $3,000 USD all day.

Hey what’s the name of the cowboy jacket model? Trying to find it online

Hey, congratulations on finding the stock pipe!

What a day lol I usually have a checklist whenever I need to pack a bag so I don’t miss anything!

I LOVE YOUR HONDA SHADOW ❤!!!! Greetings from Chile.

Im really excited for you to learn more about all the things that go into keeping a motorcycle on the road. I cut my teeth on a 440 as well, love that bike and still own it. 440s are a good bike to learn on too as they are very simple, both mechanically and electrically. I've enjoyed the vlog on this bike. Thx for sharing.

Pleasantly surprised to see Kamen Rider in this! That Black Sun shirt looks great

Loved the video, can’t go wrong with basics 🎉

Blah blah blah😢🎉😂

Hi Alan, thanks for the video, really interesting. I have a 1978 Z400 which I've bought the same carbs from Mikuni OZ like you (are yours the VM32's?). I live in the UK, but they assured me these would work fine. I've had the same issues you've had from the super random idle (running frantically high or too low), and my throttle cable didn't fit correctly either. I never knew that it was supposed to fit inside the brass nut!! Thanks for your insight, it's helped me realise what I need to do to get mine running. Love your paint job also. Really nice looking bike.

Good to see the Honda Shadow VT750. Honda factory seats are universal and are uncomfortable. An Air Hawke cushion is an option. the air cushion can also give you height depending how much air is pumped into them. My old 2005 Shadow retired in 2014 after many years of daily commuting, it needs a lot of gaskets and TLC. I like the note on your exhaust, what pipes are you running on your Shadow?

Ordered a hot chocolate... I like.

Wait didnt you sell one before? Is this a new one
