VERY CAREFUL heat gun removal of the product liability BS stickers on the fuel tank. I suggest removal of those for a MUCH better aesthetic. I doubt it will damage the classic value of the bike as long as kept maintained, clean, running, and safe. My 2004 1100 Spirit was also kept inside a conditioned space. I purchased it in 2011 for 3500 bucks (US) with 5,600 miles on the odo. Now, in 2024, it needs fork seals and that is all. On my 3rd front and 2nd rear tire since purchase. Now with 18,000 miles. We did a refresh on the carbs a year ago too. It still looks and runs perfectly. I know some folks with Harleys who keep a Shadow around for local riding.
Jesus died on the cross to pay for your sins, He was buried, then rose again the third day. Hell is real we all sin. Put your faith in Jesus Christ alone to save you. Trust in what He did for you.
Hey I have an important question. I just bought a 1997 Honda shadow spirit vt1100 and It has that hissing sound. Is that normal or is that an exhaust leak? I'm worried it's am exhaust leak because I don't know much about Honda spirits
At the risk of sounding dumb (I'm new to this) my maintenance manual says I'm not due for a new filter for quite a while but that I should do an oil change. Should I only be doing the drain and fill or do you recommend I still replace the filter anyway?
Yes Thank you this is what i was searching for. The reverse seating though made it hilarious and like someelse said a lot of weight on the rear instead of front wheel
I always hear people say you need to start small but that’s completely ridiculous. In my opinion. I started at 1100. It was my very first bike. And it ruined me, Every time I jump on a smaller bike I’m like what is this trash? It seems like a toy. It took me a little while to get used to driving a dirtbike because I’m used to letting off the clutch and the bike starting to drive away and on a 250 dirtbike if I let the clutch out at the same speed, the bike died.
My picks (if you have the money) - for comfort Windscreen Bar risers Seni fwd controls Mustang seat Burleugh shocks Wider foot pegs/floorboards Just to name a few
Hey, what’s up! I also have 1995 Honda Shadow 1100 And I’m going to change the oil for the first time and I would love to know your opinion about engine oil! Is that any big difference between 10w30 and 10w40 and what type should I get for this bike? Thank you tho!
amazing video thanks but the only thing is when you clean the chain wach out that you put some carton in frond of the wheel so you can protect it :) thanks again for the infos <3
I just bought my girlfriend a 2024 rebel 500. I’m 6’3” 240lbs and just rode it 50 miles back home on the interstate. I was kind of terrified because how easily that bike is blown around. My usual ride is a vtx 1800. But by the time I got home and got off the interstate it wasn’t bad at all.
I learnt to ride mainly on my wife's Rebel 500 and I'm 6'2", and it never felt uncomfortable, even though my friends said it looked small for me. Then I bought my own bike - a Royal Enfield Super Meteor 650 - and that felt way better. One day my wife and I went for a ride, and afterwards she asked me to ride her bike to get some petrol while she got ready for work!! Holy crap!! Stepping off my bike onto hers, it felt like the Rebel was one of those tiny clown bikes!! 🤣🤣🤣 It felt really uncomfortable. But I think my next bike will be the Rebel DCT 1100, maybe with forward foot rests??
Idk if you're still looking, but the exhaust that comes on these bikes are criminally quiet. Like almost dangerously quiet. It's quieter than a lawnmower, quieter than a weed whacker, you can't even hear it across an empty parking lot unless you're blasting it. So yeah, stock is quiet as hell if that's what you're after.
