@@TheWhoamaters Should be fun!

The mirrors are the same, I think that is stock

@@roninlavallee6076 if you are from the states, then you are out of luck. You can follow my part list that I posted on my Instagram page. If you are from europe, then there is a kit that I don't have much information about.

The top box is GIVI B 37

@@slowrider05 there is absolutely no space for two. The handles will not be on top of the shocks which is very dangerous. One of the options is to have a solid handle bar that has a deeper clamping area (taller bar).

@@steveh7823 As I understand, Honda doesn't make any standard motorcycles any longer. The last one was cb1100. Only Royal Enfield still does. The rebel is put closer to a Shadow.

No. It was sold in August.

I don't recall the mirrors.

I bet not a broken one 😅

@@REDonVFR Lol! True! 😂😂 I just to have one in mint condition 40 years ago!

@@Barnabasanon I'll make it look 10 years old. Budget restoration

@@REDonVFR That will do OK! 🤩🤩100% and it will be to nice to use! LOL! A little "patina" is just so nice! I have been looking for an object here in Norway, but they are all so nice and overpriced! Have to import one from the US or UK I guess...

@@joelmunger2395 had to modify it a little. Otherwise it went right in.

@@REDonVFR had to modify the bucket or the LED headlight? Ive had to trim LED heatsinks for fit, easy enough. I have a CM400T I just refurb'd and it's a fun little bike. Your is beautiful! Love the panniers!

@@joelmunger2395 thanks! I had to cut the tab that is used to adjust the headlight. All you need is a bucket with its bezel and led headlight. That is what I had to do with mine.

@@REDonVFR thats a tab on the LED headlight or on the Honda bucket? I haven't received my LED nor removed the sealed beam so I don't know the internals yet.

@@joelmunger2395 on the bezel. You can see it on stock bucket.

@@uncleal13 Had to pull the headers off. Was sweating bullets before I did that. Lots of swearing later the pump was attached.

@@REDonVFR Working on a 1995 that I just bought. previous guy had it apart to change the o-ring and gasket but couldn't it back together.

@@uncleal13 It isn't complicated. With the pipes removed it's a breeze.

I was able to do it my taking off the radiator mount bolts as i needed to replace the short lower hose anyway. Then I bought a really small 1/4" dr mini ratchet that was able to get in to undo the outer metal coolant line from the water pump. The inner one I was able to use a long wobble extension through the exhaust pipes. I have to bike on the road now. It was parked for 7 years when I got it.

@@uncleal13 excellent! Now it will last for another 20 years.

@@Big_John_C yes, just like the big brothers such as magnas and gold wings they all have those tank configurations. And yes, like most bikes of that era, the fuel gauge is almost a gimmick very deceptive. I'm used to my brothers vt750dc, I'd fill it up every 100 miles as the tank is tiny.

@@MrSamadolfo to be honest, I'm not sure. But what are the beers to be, is that those twin pipes on one side are from 1986 or as they are called American Classic.

@@REDonVFR 🙂🇺🇸 American Classic is Cool 😎

@@Syncrono Ah, I noticed you today also on 101 and hwy 13!

@@Syncrono Let me know if you want to meet up sometime.

@@БоратСагдыев That one was 1986 Honda Shadow 750 or vt750c. Definitely a cool-looking motorcycle. Never saw one for sale locally.

@@grayfox128151 Thanks for a cool comment! I'm glad you're pleased with it. I do like mine also and might make it as my permanent bike for long distances. I currently don't have it registered as I go through it with a moderate overhaul including a new rewired Bluetooth sound system with new speakers and a subwoofer, elimination of those cracks and a potential full body respray.

I do t think I need to do it, but I'd assume you have to put a screw through it and pull it.

@@chancebrown7541 Amazon. Anxin 7/8"

By pumping brake lever the fluid fills cavities where it should be and pushes the air out. There is no "air pressure" but only under the lid. This way the system is closed and uses only air/vacuum that is there. So, there is no need to pump the lever, maybe only to check if everything was done and sealed correctly.

Check out my vt1100c playlist to see how well it runs.

The best feature to me is the exhaust header on the left side that curves around the engine side cover. It is somewhat tall but nothing bad. The parts are available and it is possible to find a donor bike. It does have a fuel pump as the main portion of the tank is under the seat. It is reminiscent of a magna of the same time.

I'll definitely miss it. I kept it as well if not better than the original owner. I'm glad it runs superb so I didn't have to do the cards on it. One of the few I didn't have to do mechanical work, only regular maintenance.

The bike was sold last summer.

The weight makes them super cool and easy to ride. At times it felt like I rode a bicycle.

Well, I don't smoke anything. Also, as I mentioned a long time ago, I wasn't born in the US and English isn't my mother tongue.

It is indeed a great bike. Hopefully one day I can score me one of these. The chieftain is the goal.

Can't wait to ride it. I'd say you have a faulty relay. Mine wasn't blinking when using the turn signals. I bought one from eBay (not original) and repined it as the wires were different. Now turn signals work but don't click which doest bother me. P.s. I did watch your video. Nice 750 also 👍

Cannot have them back, they hit your knees when turning full lock at low speeds

@@Big_John_C just spread out your knees.

I'm sure it is going to be louder than 100 on the track as there isn't much baffling in the pipe.

Thanks

Даже тут меня нашли. Забудешь тут вас блин. Когда как, иногда по-русски, иногда по-английски. Кстати могли меня по имени назвать я ж этот ник больше не использую.

@@REDonVFR Извини Лёха, привет тебе от wadada и от бродяги. Мы тут два Егора сидим в гараже, отдыхаем.

Good to know! I was wondering what those brake caliper covers were. I saw those on the 78 GL1000 also.

@REDonVFR.... there were aftermarket chrome covers and emblems, and stainless steel braided lines sold once the 1986 bikes came in. If I recall, at the time, the center of seat to ground was only 18 inches, and the lowest center of gravity on any production bike in its era. The bike was built to be a Harley Sportster clone, and in fact, I believe Harley sued Honda for copyright ©️ infringement, and Honda made a few cosmetic changes to the bike to drop the lawsuit. This particular 1985 was the best Shadow ever built and was a Harley killer. Only if Honda had put a more radical exhaust (to mimic HD) their sales would have gone through the roof. I punched out the baffling in mine, and it definitely gave it a more "throaty" sound. These bikes would run circles around Harleys and never leaked oil or break down on long road trips. Unfortunately, I couldn't ride with the "Harley boys" because I had a "Japbike".... lol Didn't bother me at all because most rides I took with the "Harley boys" were spent "stoppin" every 40-50 miles so they could fix something that broke on their bikes..... In fact, I got in quite a few heated arguments with the HD boys that parts of their bikes were made in Japan, and then they'd want to fight due to their ignorance 🙄 Enjoy that bike man it's a beautiful piece of art and history 👌

@REDonVFR ....I think I paid $5500.00, and it's probably worth 10 times that now (if it's still around) since it was serial #0001. I sold it to a serious buyer/ headhunter collector, and it only had about 9800 miles on it.... Still sick, I sold it but had 2 small children and a mortgage, and it was a death machine.... I rung the speedometer off @ 140 mph after getting in an argument with the ex.

I'm fixing this same bike for a buddy. It's got 49k...sat for a few years. Not as clean as yours. Those are not original mirrors. Really dig those derby covers. Nice bike 👍

@@fxrmike5145 Well done. Hopefully you can find all missing parts.

You didn't see the v65, that one is a beast.

Good choice! It's a fun bike to ride, it shares the engine with the VF500F interceptor that I'm currently restoring. Power to weight ratio is great!

I absolutely agree that it is really nimble. I even scraped the foot pegs as I cornered too sharply. Had to back off a bit 😂

Per Kawasaki service manual it's 92055. Shouldn't cost more than $10.
