    Excellent video, thank you for being honest and open with your personal learning to ride experience. I started riding at the age of 49 in 2012. I now have over 125,000. I love riding and watch a lot of U2 videos. I even wrote a monthly column in a free motorcycle magazine for a while.
    My Honda is the third bike I have owned is in hibernation here in Buffalo from about mid November-to about Mid April. I hope to be a snow bird someday.
    Be safe and enjoy!!
    Go Bills!!!

      I prefer to look at it as a perk instead of a issue. After i went highflow exhaust with my carbs jetted and tuned it has a pretty pop if you let off the throttle in the low end. I noticed a much more clean engine break that really bites after i did that as well. I love this bike going on year 3.

    Did you go to Ride at Joe's Tampa for your motorcycle training? I think that I rode the same Suzuki GZ 250. Just more dents missing a turn signal with the Fran Haasch sticker on it. Ironically my first bike is 2011 Honda Shadow Aero. I rode it around a parking lot at a dealership in Sarasota. Then I rode the Shadow home, back to North Tampa. Where are your turn signals? I figured that you probably have LED turn signals integrated into your bike somehow. I like your rear tail light integrated into your rear fender.

    • @WildstyleKustoms
      @WildstyleKustoms  7 місяців тому

      I believe that’s where I took my course! That’s nuts! I bought this bike already customized a bit. They did LED turn signals, taillight, new rear fender and forks from a boulevard. They lowered it a bit and put custom license plate on the side. Congrats on your Shadow!

    This motorcycle would of been so much better if it was a straight air cooled twin and lost the radiator, and added or kept the fuel injection.
    They didn't switch to fuel injection until the 2012 model... and there's very few used one of those out there to find for sale.
    I love my straight twin air cooled Hondas. I'm not even sure how you'd change the rear drum brakes on the shaft drive version. I would be like, WTF am I suppose to do to replace these?
    The gas tank is kind of an illusion, because there's a big airbox going up the center of it. Anyway, I wouldn't pay more than 2000 tops for this bog standard bike.
    Probably the worst thing about this bike is the rear foot pegs are located way up high, meaning as the driver you can't move your legs every now and then back and forth between the front and back pegs to keep from cramping. You're stuck with the front pegs and that's it. If your feet go looking for non existant rear pegs during a ride like mine being use to them being there, you're libel to hit dead air or worse hit the ground with your foot and run over your toe. In fact, I'd rather have my feet on some rear pegs once I get going on a long stretch and don't have to shift or brake. Makes it a lot easier to stand up when going over a bump too.

    Is that the original rear fender?
    Are the forks from the Boulevard?

    • @WildstyleKustoms
      @WildstyleKustoms  Рік тому +1

      The forks and front are from an ‘03 Boulevard. The original owner did not like the thinner front tire that the Shadow comes with. I believe it’s the original fender they added led lighting all around to make it sleeker. Thanks for asking good eye!

    So, I just completed the MSF course, got my endorsement. I also bought a 2004 shadow 750. It's in my garage and i'm a little intimidated by the weight. Is it going to be harder than riding those 250's at the msf? I have to practice on my street, can't get to an empty lot. Do i just get on it and go or is there something i more i need to know about this heavier bike?

    • @WildstyleKustoms
      @WildstyleKustoms  6 місяців тому +1

      I ride a 250 to learn in class but taught myself the basics on my 750. First I just turned it on and learned my friction zone. Release clutch until it moves forward then stop. I rocked back and forth until I got used to balancing it and THEN I ride around slowly. You will love it! Thanks for commenting
