    The Shadow is a Honda correct? If so it should be worth spending the time and some money on. They tend to be reliable. One thing about motorcycles and other small engines I have learned in the last few years is their engines do not like the alcohol in our gasoline.



    My friend who currently has two bikes he bought new has 122000 miles on his Honda and 90k+ on his Kawasaki says "Sea Foam" added to the tank helps alot. He also tries to fill up at gas stations that sell gas without alcohol. More pictures please. 73, Mike

    Yup! A Honda. My buddy has an auto shop he lets me work at sometimes. I'll post some more pictures tomorrow when I take them over and start working on them. I'm hoping to put less than $1000 into them both combined. We'll see how realistic that is when I get them off the truck and start digging in. But the Shadow when running I should be able to turn around for a good price! And thanks for the tip about the gas. I've worked on a couple of bikes but never owned one so will be careful on how I feed it.
