This video tutorial demonstrates how to complete the hole saw mod on a 2007 Shadow Spirit 750. The hole saw mod is the removal of the resonator from the end of both tailpipes using a hole saw drill bit. I am a complete noob and this is my first modification to the bike. I couldn't be happier with the improvement in sound. Should have done this a long time ago.
I refer to the resonator as the baffle. That is incorrect. Also, I have not had to make any other adjustments since the mod. There is no popping on deceleration or any other noticeable problems.

An easy lubricant when cutting or drilling steel is a mix of common soap (soluble oil) and hot water. Make a sloppy and slippery mix of it and keep dipping the drill, hole saw etc. in the mix. It works well. By the way, the Lenox hole saw Steven is using IS recommended for steel!!! Because he is drilling stainless steel it can be a bugger to cut because the hotter stainless steel gets, it gets harder! I have been in the game for fifty years so I should know. Keep up the good work Steven.

Thanks for the lesson! I did what you did on my 2012 Shadow Aero 750.... Worked Great... $20 bucks for the drill bit. Now its a Honda-Harley!

@justaddwater6946 3 года назад

did you noticed any problems with the bike after that. like over heating or else. thanks

@stevebrighttheblackguitar653 3 года назад

@@justaddwater6946 I drilled out my bike about 4 months ago and have had no problems or change in performance. It is louder, which is what i wanted and a lot cheaper than a new exhaust system. Like i said in my original video and comment, $20. Bucks and works great. Love the mod, easy to do... 15 minutes!

Only thing missing from this PIPING HOT video are the flames! Seriously, great job Steven! I didn't see anyone else helping you out through your trial and success so you deserve all the credit. The bike sounded great both times. That said,enjoy riding and turning heads with your two-wheeled "truck"

@richardschoenrock5317 8 лет назад

Great video!! I've seen many videos of people doing this in their shop or in their garage with bike mod experience. I'm really looking to do this myself with my spirit and it's good to see your challenges. Makes me see what to look for.

@robertstevensaal 11 лет назад

Thanks for the advice, flashdoogie. I'll do that and make sure to NOT continue to drill well past the point where the hole was created. In retrospect I have no idea how I didn't notice I'd made it through!

@robertstevensaal 13 лет назад

@mike98541 I haven't had to rejet the bike. Haven't had any problems at all with it and I'm still enjoying the ride a lot more then before.

@ArthurSperotto 8 лет назад

Thank you for making this video, Steven! Really helps.

@theycallmerodeo6845 9 лет назад

Hey man, thanks for posting the video. Its nice to see the guts before I cuts. I just did the mod on my 2008 and for the price, I dig the sound. I got a good laugh out of some of the comments too. Some people... Anyway. bike sounds and runs great. Not "loud" but enough to give her some attitude.

@user-xv3lb9eu5c 8 лет назад

Hi! I have the same bike and I want to do the same with my exhaust. Tell me please, after 5 years, do you noticed any problems with the bike? Overheating, loose power, increased gas consumption or something like that?

@nagunaks2222 3 года назад

You need to install a performance jet kit and K&N air filter so it runs good

@SizzelRizzel 5 месяцев назад

@@nagunaks2222 no you don't, ive had my baffles removed for 6 years and havent had a single issue, ive changed the spark plugs 4 or 5 times since then and never any signs of too rich or lean.

@flashdoogie 11 лет назад

Just to let you know for the future.....dont use wd40 for a lube.......proper cutting fluid or even spent motor oil would of saved you from buying a second bit. Great job and thanks for posting.

Thanks to the previous owner of my 05 spirit doing this it caused me to lose top end speed horribly

Heyman… Thanks for the video, I have the same bike and been thinking about it for a while n had the same doubts, now with your video u just motivated me to move forward and do it in mine...

@robertstevensaal 10 лет назад

Have you done it yet? What do you think?

@alexeyborodulin1781 10 лет назад

no way man! you're going to turn into one of that loud ass morons. It's easy to fuck up brilliant work of engineers that reached optimum sound with minimal power loss. There will be no way back then. Better make 4 holes threaded for screws to unplug them whenever is needed

@toddsunderlin7574 9 лет назад

Hey, before you ruin your stock exhaust, remember you are changing the back pressure when you take the baffles out. I talked to a tech at a honda dealer and he said the bike more than likely would not run right without jetting it first. I have a '09 750 spirit and i'm waiting until I can do it right with the right pipes and jets.

@robertstevensaal 9 лет назад

Todd sunderlin Hey buddy. It's been several years since I removed the resonators and I haven't had a single issue.

@trueone6517 6 лет назад

750 don't need rejetted

@robertstevensaal 13 лет назад

@BubbaGa1 Thanks, mate. Yeah, this bad boy's carbureted. It's really hard to tell if the bike lost any acceleration power (torque? I don't know) but I still get up to 85 relatively easy and have pushed it almost to 100 since removing the resonators as well. You may be able to tell a difference in acceleration after the mod but I had just gotten back on this bike after borrowing a friend's Super Blackbird so EVERYTHING was sssllllooowww. lol. No problems or popping on this bike though. Do it!

@jatenten 11 лет назад

Im not picking on you, great informative vid, but you need to have the valves checked and adjusted, or crank sound scoped. There is some bad knock and bang racket coming from the hardware side of things.

@Bertass22 12 лет назад

I did the same thing to my 2000 Honda Shadow vlx 600 custom deluxe and it sounds AWESOME and i still get go about 118 to 120 miles on a tank of gas.

@seangibson398 5 лет назад

Bertass22 did you get a jet set done to the carb?

That sounds right. DeWalt. Got it at Lowe's for somewhere under $100.

I have a 2007 Honda Shadow Spirit 750 C2. I'm definitely going to do the same. Sure beats $400 for Cobra's. Any other suggestions? Thanks

@kearansheppard12 5 лет назад

Hold trigger half way so you don't burn out the bit or damage the steel on the exhaust. And more wd40 if you don't have any cutting oil around.

@assisfig 9 лет назад

Cool! Gasoline consumption has changed ?

@maximogarrido8891 3 года назад

Estoy en ese punto, lo hago o no?? Steven, va mejor también?? Muchas gracias

@MrAlwaysHappy 9 лет назад

At 1:15, "I'm going to drill through, and pull out." What exactly is this video about?

@mickeyauthement6898 10 лет назад

LOL hole saw is VERY DULL because you bought one that was made to cut wood and NOT metal.

Well how about that.

@andreasuperak8255 7 лет назад

Does your bike ride the same after removing the baffles or did you lose some power?

@robertstevensaal 9 лет назад

I honestly couldn't tell. I was told to watch out for lost power but if there was any it was too little to notice.

spray wd40 over the plate it makes the cut smooth like peanut butter

Don't do this, you'll lower the value of your bike. Keep it as close to stock as possible.

@stevensaal Месяц назад

Hi! Man it's weird seeing a comment on a video I made 13 years ago. For what it's worth, this mod was awesome and I was really happy with the sound. Would do it again in a heartbeat but I would put on shoes, safety glasses, and use a hole saw bit that was actually made for metal. 😄 Have a good one!
