      @CopingKeAl Necesitas un buen carburador que se ajuste al cc de tu bicicleta y es posible que necesites surtidores más grandes

      @sscarautocenter8354 Eu fiz essa adaptação na minha Shadow 600. Usei um carburador de Twister. To com gicleur de 42 na baixa e 140 na alta e usando um filtro de ar esportivo da Sportster. Em relação ao filtro, eu tapei metade dele pq entra mto ar.

    Nice work bro. I converted my Vlx 600 to single carb too. Just a little tip: Make something to hold the carburetor on the frame. With the vibration the carb could possible fall off or create some false air entrance(personal experience =)).

    You are absolutely my hero thank you for posting - what is size of carb ? 32mm or 34mm?
    I would love to see more on how this has progressed and any comments you have about it since the conversion.
    Thanks again.

    • @hondagarage

      I believe it's a 34mm I bought it off eBay. I just typed in 600cc single carb it was about $90

    Nice bike, convert mine too into a single carb, a similar manifold design but I used an elbow pipe. Mine is a Steed 400 with a 32 CV carb. Front engine will be a bit richer than the rear but runs great. Looking forward to your bike on-the-road test.

      @Blenbkuqi Yes, and no, you still need to tune the carburetor, and it's not a big difference from stock.

      Unsure, but I think it's just raw steel, I'm going to eventually paint it and line the inside.

    Do you think this is possible to do on a 1986 Shadow 700C? I want to redo everything on my bike as well as I am pretty sure most of the wiring is all busted. How would I rewire everything?

    • @hondagarage
      @hondagarage  11 місяців тому +1

      Yeah, anything is possible. You'll need a 700cc carburetor. As for the wiring, I don't know how busted it is, but if it's not salvageable, I would just buy an oem harness online.
