You fuckin beauty I bought a house with a huge shop, and chopping my 750 spirit is something on my bucket list. Lots of tools to get, I'll add these to the list. Along side with all my carpentry tools. Do you think it's a bad idea to work on mechanical in the same area as a wood shop?
@@TJBRUTALCUSTOMS Question. I just cleaned my carbs on a 2005 Shadow 750 spirit. The float needle on one carb has a round rubber seal under it in the seat but the other carb did not have this round rubber seal. Is this normal??? Should I remove it or add a seal to the other needle as well. I do not want to put the bike back together just to have it run bad. What do you think??
@@TJBRUTALCUSTOMS The valve which I refer to as a float needle has a round rubber seal between it and the seat. Literally the seal sits at the bottom of the seat.The second carb does not have this. The bike runs fine except my fuel pump cuts off fuel once the bowls are filled and won't come back on. I assumed it was a weak pump til I seen this seal issue. Maybe it's making the needle stick or something. Also I thought maybe the last owner tried to fix a leaking seat temporarily and made the issue worse. I have rebuilt carbs for other motors and never seen this before. I really appreciate you help.
I went the completely opposite way on my vt600 build. It's one of the few motorcycles 1970's era a Vetter Windjammer fairing can be fitted on. I fabricated brackets to mount it along with the hard bags and trunk that came off the Kawasaki touring bike that stuff was still on in a motorcycle junkyard. I got it all for $100. Everyone around where I live and ride call it the Shadow Wing. A few weeks ago a Velorex 562 sidecar showed up on craigslist so I went to have a look at it. It had been pulled out of a barn and put on craigslist. $350 disappeared from my wallet with a sidecar in the back of my truck replacing it. I had to fabricate a sub-frame to interface the sidecar to my Shadow. After some dialing in it rides and handles well for a Hack. I love it! BTW you've got to off set the sidecar axle to bike axle exactly 8 5/16 of an inch lead to make it handle correctly.
I'd love to see you do a video on how to swap out the cables when switching to new handlebars. I want to get bars for my 750 ACE that have more pull back (like six bend or buckhorn bars) but the thought of having to replace the cables scares the crap out of me more than gravel on a twisty road. I'd also love to hear your opinions on different handlebar styles and which ones you think work best on a Shadow. I find the stock bars cause me to lean forward when I'd rather be leaning back in my cushy Saddleman seat.
Learned the hard way to take good pictures when I had to take my dual carb off my shadow and then put it back together while working a job and raising a kid, took me 3 months and was the biggest pain I’ve ever been through
Love your videos. Installed the custom tuning kit and velocity stack a couple of years ago and love it. Re: the 17mm Allen socket for the front axle. IIRC the opposite end of the OEM spark plug tool was designed to remove front axle.
Holy shit !! The legend is alive !! I need Satin black straight cut Cerakote or slash cut exhaust for the vt600 i got your $$$$ when you make them available
For 17mm hex for the axle. You can always buy an $8 steel motorcycle axle tool from Amazon if you don’t want to buy a full hex bit socket set. They have 17mm and 22mm and 24mm and 19mm all four common axle sizes on the one tool. Both sides are machine to fit standard socket ratchet drivers OR if you have a 17mm, 19mm, 22mm or 24mm wrench you can slip that over an unused size on the motorcycle axle tool and just turn it by hand. Put one in your toolkit and you have all four sizes in a small package.
You can use the socket tool also to take the front axle off. Just in case you don't have a 17mm allen. All the Hondas came with tool bag under neither the plastic on the side of your bike.
Beneficial information, thanks. Not do you have a video that shows gauges? For example, I'd like to put a shift digital indicator. But mostly I bought a 2007 Shadow Spirit 750 C2. And being unfamiliar I had an impossible time knowing if I had the fuel petcock in the fuel position. I was worried it was in the reserve position. There was no obvious arrow. And one would have to assume that the lever itself was the direction of the point. Turns out in this skinny lever there was an arrow. I just needed my reading glasses. Anyway, the next gauge or lights all come on at some point.... at some point?!! neutral is obvious, each time u start, the headlight hi beam was easy when turned on. The oil and temp are still out! The most important ones!
We do not currently have a video for guages and we are so sorry, but we just cannot help diagnose bikes via UA-cam! It usually ends up being an exercise in futility and frustration. Plus, you wouldn't want a stranger on the internet diagnosing your bike! One would really need the bike in person to properly diagnose, and we are not a service or repair shop. We recommend you check out our other UA-cam videos (there's a TON!) and the support page at shoptjbc.com If you are still not able to figure out the issue, we recommend you take it to a local shop! Wish you the best and do fun shit!
Really great information! I dropped by while looking at a different site and found very useful information and a little humor- who'd a thunk it? Keep at it!
It's me again brother do you like the shadows or what I just saw how popular they were online thanks for the content and the bike is officially at my shop
I'm glad I have a 700 shadow plugs are easy the wheels come off without worry of spacer's and no chain to tension when it stretches. The front wheel just bolts on no hex key needed. Only thing that sucks is working on the 2 carbs. Getting them carbs out and in needs a video with trick to do the job.
I recommend a 27mm open end wrench for rear axle 22mm socket on the left side and 27mm wrench on the right side unless you want to pull the exhaust then can use a 27mm socket 2003 vt750
Great videos! Giving me some confidence. How hard is this DIY stuff? I have a 98 VLX600 that needs some love and thinking about customizing as well. I wanna make it a project with my 15 year old, but don't wanna screw it up or look foolish in front of the kid. lol
Is there a hidden tool box on this bike, for the speciality tools... I just went looking for one to lower the rear shocks. Not finding anything, I instead had to use a pair of adjustable Tounge and Groove Channellock pliars.
The honda shadows have a small blue vinyl tool bag under the left side of the bike, accessible with a key on some models. Other models it's held in by a rubber strap. A lot of bikes are missing this, but you can find em on ebay now and then. They look like this - www.ebay.com/itm/386337451887?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=VTDXD14zS-q&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=Oo6bOuNeQB2&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY
@ALCUSTOMSI had tried pulling on this thinking it was held on like the same rubber grommets on my Rebel... apparently it is... but at the time it wouldn't give so I was afraid I'd break something plastic bolted in I couldn't see... ua-cam.com/video/CjijvGfXuug/v-deo.html
hey man i got a 08 750 aero that i been buildin for a year and it caught fire and melted my carb and air box its runnin now jus not good enough to ride love the how to vids bro
I really really need help... There's not a lot of good mechanics in my area and I don't know much about my VLX 400. It runs sluggish, it reaks like petrol/gas.. I think you mentioned something about rear pistons not moving? And I don't know if it's because of the carbs or if it's the AFP. After 15mins of riding it feels as if it's no longer flooded or it feels like excess fuel got burnt out or off and then it feels like I got more power. I don't want to ride my bike further because I'm scared I'll do more damage to the bike.
What do you use to get the rear tire of the honda shadow 750 in the air? I want to replace my rear brakes but the ace c2 does't have a centerstand. Thanks for the video👍
I’ve got a question. Most of the stuff is the talk is the Honda 750’s. I have a Sabre vt1100. I want to put taller bars on and the choke is on the bars. It has dual carbs. What is my best option when I go to taller bars for the choke cable?
I’m not to proud to admit that I’ve used a hex shaped metal/cold chisel inserted into the hex bolt to remove a vt600 front wheel 🤷🏻♂️. It worked a treat but yeah.. the 17 mil is the way to go.
After removing the airbox and all other junk you said to throw out ..what do I do with the air cutt off valve? Do I plug the black stems or leave them be??? Please advize
I have a 04 Honda shadow VT 750. I have ridden motorcycles off and on for about 15 years. I now have this one as my soul transportation. I know nothing about the mechanics of a motorcycle. I am somewhat mechanically inclined and can be told or shown something and can pretty much do from that point forward. I have a boyfriend (mechanic) and 2 sons, and I guess they really do not care if I live or die because you would think they would look my motorcycle over for me, or tell me what to look for or suggest I take it somewhere or SOMETHING! But I am on my own. Thats fine, because I have become quite accustomed to doing just that. Getting to the point, Is there any way you could direct as to what pre driving mechanical things I should check or be aware of that could potentially cause life altering damages if not addressed or found before driving? I have a phobia for some reason of the motor seizing up and well that would not be good if doing highway speeds, I would imagine. I also have these multiple black hoses dangling underneath the bike that have a beginning and an end I am assuming, but one end is not to destination. I have no idea what these hoses are for? Any way you could maybe direct me as to where I could obtain that information. My bike seems to be running on the warm side. The temp. light came on once or twice but only when it was sitting and idling. I found the radiator cap and couldn't see any coolant, so I thought it may be good to be some in it. It took nearly a half of a gallon bottle? Does that sound right? So I was looking for the oil filter and plug to do a much needed oil change and that is how I noticed the dangling black hoses and I also found the coolant reservoir. It was empty. Would that be indicative of possible coolant leak somewhere and could that be linked to the mystery dangling hoses? I know I have all kinds of questions. I subscribed and liked and you said I could ask. Okay I replaced the rear and front tires. All of a sudden my back tire is flat. and I thought it felt really different and even looked to see if one of them was flat a day or so before it was visually flat. They are brand new tires and I don't see any nails what would cause this. SO yeah basically any guidance on upkeep and safety stuff would be appreciated. My life could very well depend on any information I can find out for myself.
Sorry for the late response, it took me a long time to read your post!😜 If your engine ever seizes up you should pull in your clutch and coast to safety. The hoses sound like vent tubes for the carburetor(s) and should be hanging under the bike. As far as the coolant goes just check the level every time you go to ride for awhile at least. If it drops again you’ll have to do more investigation. Get yourself a good tire pressure gauge and check your tires at least once a week. It only takes a couple seconds and it is way easier to deal with a flat or low tire at home or work than on the road. Damn now I have to go read your post again to see what I forgot!🤣🤣
TJ, I like to share some pictures of my 600 vlx, with a few new modifications., for sure I know it's something different because in my internet search i don't find any similar. sorry for the Spanglish :)
can you answer 2 shadow 750 questions for me, will opening up the intake and exhaust make a noticeable improvement in the bike performance over stock? is it normal for a stock 2000 shadow ace 750 dual carb not to be able to run above idle without the air cleaner attached, i expect it to go lean but never had a bike just completely cut out above idle without the air cleaner before....thx

Question, have you ever rode a Honda steed /shadow 400?, if so have you noticed any major differences? Because I heard they are the same but the 600 has just a little more go
Only thing on the list I don't have for working on my gals '99 VT 750 CD2 is a length of 525 chain, before she got it it had the sprockets and chain in 530 and came with the packaging so when I put new on I went with the same as it was working well. I never even checked what factor was, oh well. Anyone have an idea where to get a jockey shift setup for an 1100 Goldwing Interstate? I lost my left foot and cannot feel through the prosthetic if I hit the gear on the heel/toe.
I have a Honda shadow spirit 750 c2 I want more power and lift the bike a little for more lean I have already installed a cobra classic slash cut I just love my bike but I want more lean and power
Hi, I have a 1992 honda steed nv400 which I'm turning into a bobber, I've hit a problem as I can't seem to find what gauge the wiring is. I've been told16,18,20 and so on but I'm nun the wiser. Don't want to damage aftermarket lights as they seem alot thinner wiring, any help will be very much appreciated.
Do you know what the exact center to center handlebar spacing is for a 2002 shadow vlx 600. Is it 100mm or 114mm? Wanna get new bars but can't find exacts online and I don't have a manual
tJ I bypass my fuel pump from relay conector to start the pump straigt w the powerkey and the pump just sound like a click sound when i turn de key on,,,,,fuel pump sound click, click, click ,,,,,it may be the faulty fuel pump?
Dude rly? You’ll love the Shadow. I almost bought a Vstar, but these Shadows got that sexy “chop me I don’t wanna be made in Japan anymore” reputation. Harley guys don’t give me shit unless they are the “hey look I’m not in a car duurferduur” types. Cause my 600 will smoke any Harley for about 200 yards…and it ain’t a pretty pass for the Harley either.
Uh what? It's a Shadow. Shaft drive. (And liquid cooled), that's one of the reasons their so great. Everything else though, is pretty great. Skip the hose and go for the deep walled spark plug socket (rubberized) too.

For a 17 mm Allen, weld a nut on a bolt with a 17 mm head and just use a common socket, in a pinch, double nut it if welding isn’t a option.
This is the way.
Learned the hard way to take good pictures when I had to take my dual carb off my shadow and then put it back together while working a job and raising a kid, took me 3 months and was the biggest pain I’ve ever been through

Anyone have an idea where to get a jockey shift setup for an 1100 Goldwing Interstate? I lost my left foot and cannot feel through the prosthetic if I hit the gear on the heel/toe.
I have a Honda shadow spirit 750 c2 I want more power and lift the bike a little for more lean I have already installed a cobra classic slash cut I just love my bike but I want more lean and power

Hi, I have a 1992 honda steed nv400 which I'm turning into a bobber, I've hit a problem as I can't seem to find what gauge the wiring is. I've been told16,18,20 and so on but I'm nun the wiser. Don't want to damage aftermarket lights as they seem alot thinner wiring, any help will be very much appreciated.
Do you know what the exact center to center handlebar spacing is for a 2002 shadow vlx 600. Is it 100mm or 114mm? Wanna get new bars but can't find exacts online and I don't have a manual
I carry that snap on screw driver with me everywhere along with my Kershaw knife. I feel naked without either one
tJ I bypass my fuel pump from relay conector to start the pump straigt w the powerkey and the pump just sound like a click sound when i turn de key on,,,,,fuel pump sound click, click, click ,,,,,it may be the faulty fuel pump?
Why would some people put their wood in between the tire and fender? That could be worse than rug burn.....
My bike goes into neutral but the neutral light won’t turn on, the bike won’t start but all the other lights turn on upon switching the ignition to on
**buys everything Snap On**

@@TJBRUTALCUSTOMS No worries. It's not a popular bike, but It's my first shadow build.
hi guys, which motorcycle do you recommend for a project? Honda shadow 1100 vs yamaha v star 1100
Dude rly? You’ll love the Shadow. I almost bought a Vstar, but these Shadows got that sexy “chop me I don’t wanna be made in Japan anymore” reputation. Harley guys don’t give me shit unless they are the “hey look I’m not in a car duurferduur” types. Cause my 600 will smoke any Harley for about 200 yards…and it ain’t a pretty pass for the Harley either.
My 18mm deep socket doesn't fit in the plug hole.. yes that's what she said 😐

Watch YO language!😕😕
Uh what? It's a Shadow. Shaft drive. (And liquid cooled), that's one of the reasons their so great.
Everything else though, is pretty great. Skip the hose and go for the deep walled spark plug socket (rubberized) too.
