2007 Honda Shadow Spirit 750 Idling

Here is my 2007 Honda Shadow Spirit VT750DC after some mods I did to give it some more personality. I was going more for a clean look rather than all out custom. Bike has 4" Billski flush mount fork extensions with fatty tube sleeves. 1 1/4" bar riser extensions from Scootmods. Braided stainless front brake line from Billski. 38 tooth rear sprocket from Billski along with a 120 link chain. 2.5" lowering kit in the rear. Home made side mount license plate with no light. Front and rear LED lights with integrated turn signals, brakes, and running light from Matt @ LEDbikelights.net. Drag Specialties Teardrop mirrors from Dennis Kirk. 4" Forward controls from Scootmods. Modified a Harley Dyna horn and mounted it on the choke side. Shaved off the factory horn and bracket. Sissy bar and luggage rack (rack not in vid) from Ebay. Also have Cobra Drag pipes without baffles and a Cobra Stage 1 jet kit. Repainted the bike to get rid of the Shadow emblem on the side of the tank, and a little attitude. (The fact that I had a gallon of leftover paint from the tractor helps). Paint color is J.I. Case Flambeau Red. (Same color as old Case tractors). I also removed the stickers from the frame to give it a cleaner look. Re-routed the cables behind the forks. That's about it. Not custom, but clean. Hope you like it. Sometime in the future I hope to do a hypercharger.

I am 15 years old, i am hopefully getting a 2003 honda shadow 750 this spring, i have riddin in the past a honda 250x as my first bike, moved up to a kx250f i am 6'2 but do i really need forward controls and different handlebars? is it really that uncomfortable? and i dont see any front blinkers in the clip, did u take them off?

@BigLure12 at your height, you will definitely want forward controls.. Just my opinion. You will know when you ride the bike. Mid controls on a cruiser versus mid controls on a dual sport bike are a totally different kind of ride. If you look closely under the bottom triple tree there is a small LED strip similar to what is under the rear fender. I bought these off of a guy who used to make them. Not sure if he still does or not. Eventually I did remove the front blinker strip as well

how would you rate this bike for a young 16 year old man, I have the money iv saved up and I'm thinking of buying one, I'm a rather big dude standing at 6'1 and im sure i could handle the weight of the bike but yea, any tips you have for me? Would be greatly appreciated! Also what sort of Gas milage do you get with this bike?

[Kizzletruck]

@JackyswaTv I would say this is a good first bike. Keeping this in mind, if you have NEVER ridden any type of motorcycle, I would advise getting used to riding something a little lighter at least a few times, just to get the hang of it. As far as your body type, you probably would want to look at getting some forward controls, and different handlebars. I am 5 10 and was cramped a bit until I did this. I typically get between 40-50 MPG. And actually just sold the bike this week.

@Kizzletruck i ride dirt bikes a 175 cc honda dirt bike 5 speed, so that kinda helps alittle id guess? and if you dont mind me asking why u sold the bike? any riding reasons or in that subject. Also could i get those changes at a dealer ship if i buy a bike from a dealer ship or could i do them myself rather easy(be in mind i work on rather old cars and have some smarts with that stuff) and Thanks so much for your help!

[Kizzletruck]

@JackyswaTv You should be ok if you have some mechanical knowledge. I am sure you could pay the dealer to do it, but you are going to pay through the nose. I have done everything to this bike myself. What better way to learn than to teach yourself? If you have a decent set of tools and some patience, get after it! I sold the bike because I lost my job. My next bike will be a Harley, most likely a Fatboy. You can always check out the shadowriders website

@Campdoofus If you don't enjoy it, move along to another video.

@Jackd91 Definitely great first bikes. I had ridden a couple bikes before but never owned one and am way happy about this bike as a first purchase. Good luck!

[JackyswaTv]

@Kizzletruck I'm really sorry to hear you lost your job, I hope you can find a new one soon wish you luck! and I never knew there was a websight I'll be sure to cheak it out and find it thank you so much for your help means a lot!

@ussprinceton2004 Hey man, I own a 07' Shadow Spirit as well, and in response to your comment my bike has never over heated but my fan has come on, but it quickly cooled it back down.

[ussprinceton2004]

@Kizzletruck ah, ok, thanks for the reply.

[Kizzletruck]

@ussprinceton2004 I believe they do pretty well with sitting in traffic and the heat. I have never had mine over heat and have sat in traffic on a hot day plenty of times. They do have a cooling fan behind the radiator that will kick on when it is getting hot. Mine has never kicked on so I think that I can safely say yes, they do well.
