This worked perfectly. Gaskets were $2.22 a piece. I did not use dental floss. I used a pair of hemostats to get it started and rotated the tube with needle nose pliers to work the gaskets on. Whatever works! Brilliant video solved my leak. Thanks!
Sincere thanks for showing me this! I ended up doing it by myself in a dark garage but took probably 15 -20 minutes for the rear side and 5 minutes for the front. Also I used carpenters pencils to hold and push the o-ring but your demo was a blessing, thank you man! Respect!
Dam good Video. A buddy taught me that trick putting exhaust gaskets on a old Lincon, we used twine. Great job on this video just bought a 98 Aero with 8867 miles had been sitting in a Garage for nine years, working on carby's now and whole fuel system. I have a 95 Shadow VT1100 CL That I ride on my free time. This got my attention, now I know what to do on either Bike. Thank's again Guy's. Great Video.
I SAVED $1,500 by replacing these O-Rings myself instead of paying the Honda Dealership. They wanted to spend 15 hours on it at $89/hour + TAX. Their excuse was that they needed to remove the engine and take the heads off just to get to the cross-over-tube. I originally came in for a $200 carburetor cleaning, then they said i needed 2 new carb diaphragms for an extra $214. Then they replaced a coolant hose and also noticed that these O-rings leaked pretty bad. So by the time they tallied it up they had me up to $2,100 dollars. I just rode it home (2 minutes) with no coolant and parked it until i could figure something out.
Nice job 'n well done. thanks to share this, I also had spent last year almost $300 bucks just for front tire and the bike shop try take more thousand for just carb clean and oil change, by the way, I just did the front tire e never mine comeback on that bike shop, so I bought an rear tire on amazon for $90 bucks and I'll do it my self on this summer, I also need to do this job that you did there, I'll looking more videos and do my carb clean my self too =) I took on harbor freight last year a nice bike stand for $75 bucks , so all I need plus tools to get my bike tuning up this summer. you have nice bike with nice sound, my is 2003 shadow ace=) black one I grab that for just $1500 bucks from first owner , I think I had luck =)
Thank you guys for your video. I have a 2000 Honda shadow vt1100 that is leaking coolant from the same crossover tube. I will be performing the same job. Again thank you for the advice and video
Great Video! Saving me $1500! Can you give me the part number for those O-Rings? I have an O-Ring set but they are to thick so the cylinder isn’t popping back into place.
The dealer is doing my fuel valve under my tank so they have to remove the tank, but they're going to do this at the same time so they're charging me an hour worth of labor after the fuel valve so I think they're saving me money by doing two jobs in one. I'm also getting my fork seals and steering head bearing done. Unless you're getting a coolant flush and replenish with new hoses and a new radiator with the new cross-over o ring and tube I can't see how this could run you about a grand. Then again, I've had service desks give me a price quote and not charge me until the work was done and the work wasn't anywhere near as much as the initial quote.
hey, please link me from where can i order this o rings. i have same shadow vt1100 c3 1999. does it have size or something like this. i have no idea :D its my firs bike. and if somone can please link. on amazon or on ebay
It's hard to sympathize when you've been riding a bicycle back and forth to work for 3 weeks. They wanted too much for it, and I could find another bike on Craigslist for close to that price.
I bet honda dealers hate you lol I can see someone going into the dealer and saying they need the orings replaced and they give them a 1.500 dollar price and then they pull out there phone and show them this video . lol They will have to change the price now . from 1,500 to 50 .00 at the most .

Hell Yeah!! I just did his repair myself. Used combination floss and hemos to get the rings on. Feeling like a champ. Thanks Again for posting this.
Just noticed the leak today on my 2001 Honda Black Widow and was pretty bummed. Thanks a lot for this great video! You saved my day!
Saved our wallet from bike shop =)

Thank you guys for your video. I have a 2000 Honda shadow vt1100 that is leaking coolant from the same crossover tube. I will be performing the same job. Again thank you for the advice and video
Is the minty floss the best option? Great job! Saving people thousands.
Wow, you taught me something really neat!
Do you have to drain the coolant first? Just wondering how much coolant will come out when you open the crossover tube up.
Dominic Zito not much since it already leaked from there
I've got oil leak 2000 Honda shadow 1100 , is this the fix for the oil leak? I didn't catch what the o-rings we're actually being replaced for?
Do i have to empty the coolant before doing this job. Thank
What do you do if the crossover tube is frozen or stock? Like mine.
Thank you for the good informative video.
brilliant..thanks fellas.
That was slick!
Pretty damn slick .
Great Video! Saving me $1500! Can you give me the part number for those O-Rings? I have an O-Ring set but they are to thick so the cylinder isn’t popping back into place.
How can I remove the water pump?
Hi Justin. Great video and thanks for sharing. Where did you get that pick kit? I'm from Canada so I'm not to sure where to get that. Thanks
Mark B I got it at O'Reilys... which is an automotive store.
From Canada... Goto your local Princess Auto. Theyll sort you out!
