Perhaps I’m biased , but my 03 Spirit 750 is the best. The lowering struts Z-Bars and black vented risers from TJ definitely contribute to my Spirit being the best.
you mentioned that you remove a lot of crap from the front of the bike and recommend removing the push cable. Could you make a video explaining why and showing what should be removed? im curious
You can always look up the specs on total motorcycle, they usually tell you the engine specs including if it is single or dual carb. Not really a VIN decoder, but it has always been accurate for me =)
Ok heres my question i have a dual carb bike could it be converted to a single?? And if so what would be the pros and cons (eg performance / lumpy/etc ) and i would really like to remove the horrible triangle filter case and replace it for something better without all the plastic ducting wrapping around my engine from the left side to the right
Jesus fuck no, 🤦♂️ i get this question way too often and ive seen at lest 2 dozen of these bikes get absolutely shitbricked becuse of this idea.. Dual carb is literally race shit. Honda moved to singke carb to "reduce emissions thanks to certain agencies bullshit. One carb per cylinder allows for better precise tuning for each cylinder and perfect flow to each cylinder. You can get our stacks and performance tuning kit to get rid of the stock airbox and filter. I strongly suggest you read this article which I wrote that outlines why attempting to change a honda shadow dual carb bike to a single carb bike is a very bad idea And really sheds light on it. It will make a lot of sense- support.shoptjbc.com/article/53-how-do-i-convert-my-dual-carb-setup-to-a-single-carb-setup
@@TJBRUTALCUSTOMS thanks buddy if you say so ill follow your recommendation i just really hate the wrap around plastic bullshite and the filter. I clicked on your link it says page error not found
@chrislewis4830 I highly recommend getting the performance rebuild kit and velocity stacks from TJ Brutal, cleans up the bike a ton, getting rid of stock air filter and tubing related to it
I have noticed that only harley Davidson has performance parts like racing pistons or racing camshafts...is there anything like these for honda shadows.thank you
Clean up the look as most switch to a single cable throttle sleeve too. Also one lest thing to break and cause you issues down the road. The carb has a spring which returns the cable perfectly fine, just like the design dirtbikes use. Lastly, safety 3rd😂
It's govt mandated equipment. It slows throttle response. I've never had a pull cable get stuck open but I've had a push cable get stuck in the housing and prevent the throttle from rolling off. You don't need it.
Anythingbis possible but it's not worth the time or money when you can buy an efi bike for a fraction of the money you'd need to dump into a conversion. And the conversion def won't run as well🤷🏻♂️
It slows throttle response. It can get stuck and make it hard for the throttle to return to idle. It's unnecessary govt bullshit that every bike mfr has to do. You seriously don't need it. Remove it and ride, and tell me how bad it sucks. You'll love it 🤣 I promise you.

What is actually the difference between a double and a single carb? Sometimes people rebuild bikes with standard 2 carbs into a single, what is the reason for this?
So could you give me some insight on my confusion? My friend has a 2002 Honda shadow 600, stock with a dual carburetor set up. I just got a free parts bike 2001 shadow 600, has a single carb setup. Now why does my buddies 2002 have a dual carburetor if they stopped in 98?
@ that’s what I was assuming, it threw me off on your video when you said 99+ swapped to single carb and I couldn’t find a straight forward answer to my question
I have. There are many Shadow 600 for sale where I live and as far as I know anything after 99 should have the single carb. So far so good. Another tale sign I know so far is that the newer model from 99 has side panels separated from the rear mudguard, which is also the "duck" type. My confusion is that I see a lot of bikes after 99 without the duck rear fender... Idk if that is only for the VLX and the VLX being a US model and the vt600 a EU one? Totally confused. I think I have to travel the country and check each one's carbs :(
If you can't hit 100 on any of these bikes with these upgrades there's something else going on or you didn't install them properly or you're too heavy for the bike. So, yes.
honestly if a bike owner needs to be told how to tell if they have one carb or two carbs then someone needs to take their tools away because they're too cognitively challenged to work on a motorcycle, they're the kind of people who reverse the carb jets and pinch the slide diaphragm when reassembling carbs then can't figure out why the bike won't run............
rofl i don't know everything but i sure as hell know how to look to see how many carbs are on a motorcycle, they don't need me to start a yt channel, that's what they have you for...@@TJBRUTALCUSTOMS

Not sure, maybe eBay
@TJBRUTALCUSTOMS do you know if Harley performance parts fit to honda or yamaha?
@ Doubt they would
What do you prefer: single or dual carburetors?
I’m wonder why the purpose of removing the push cable off the carburetors for ?
Clean up the look as most switch to a single cable throttle sleeve too. Also one lest thing to break and cause you issues down the road. The carb has a spring which returns the cable perfectly fine, just like the design dirtbikes use. Lastly, safety 3rd😂
It's govt mandated equipment. It slows throttle response. I've never had a pull cable get stuck open but I've had a push cable get stuck in the housing and prevent the throttle from rolling off. You don't need it.
I wonder if it is possible to convert my Shadow from carburated to EFI... That would be cool.
Anythingbis possible but it's not worth the time or money when you can buy an efi bike for a fraction of the money you'd need to dump into a conversion. And the conversion def won't run as well🤷🏻♂️
Do you happen to have a tutorial on how to use the tuning kit for the single carb honda shadow
video is already in the works.
Why would we remove the push cable?? What's the benefit from it? Really want to know
It slows throttle response. It can get stuck and make it hard for the throttle to return to idle. It's unnecessary govt bullshit that every bike mfr has to do. You seriously don't need it. Remove it and ride, and tell me how bad it sucks. You'll love it 🤣 I promise you.

Beside all of our awesome UA-cam videos we are sorry but we don't offer any additional building advice.
Which is better?
So could you give me some insight on my confusion? My friend has a 2002 Honda shadow 600, stock with a dual carburetor set up. I just got a free parts bike 2001 shadow 600, has a single carb setup. Now why does my buddies 2002 have a dual carburetor if they stopped in 98?
They made both,
@ that’s what I was assuming, it threw me off on your video when you said 99+ swapped to single carb and I couldn’t find a straight forward answer to my question
I found a 2007 shadow vt750 with a twin carb for trades
Why do you pull off the push throttle cable on vt750dca
It is not needed
Thanks for the video
Thanks for the comment! much appreciated my dude!
My bike was a dual carb but it was a 01 honda shadow spirit
Yes the 01 spirit was a dual carb. The aero was a single carb, the ace was dual. Did you have a question?
I have. There are many Shadow 600 for sale where I live and as far as I know anything after 99 should have the single carb. So far so good. Another tale sign I know so far is that the newer model from 99 has side panels separated from the rear mudguard, which is also the "duck" type.

is a single carb shadow better than a dual?
no. dual creates more HP.
How do I know I have a motorcycle though?
That's the fun part! You never will know for sure!!
Bro can you make a video with 2024 shadow aero 🙏
Buy me one and i can.

Btw your channel is awesome
Carbs are groovy baby🎉
Yeah baby!!! You dig!?
@@TJBRUTALCUSTOMS I digapham man. Get my high natural 😁
The real question is can your performance bolt on’s give me 100mph ?
Velocity stacks jets and exhaust my vt750 making 106
If you can't hit 100 on any of these bikes with these upgrades there's something else going on or you didn't install them properly or you're too heavy for the bike. So, yes.

I’ve been waiting for a video like this, buying my first shadow at the end of this month
Vorrei un video in italiano
Can a shadow 1100 be converted to a single carb?
No
“Which honda shadow?” “The cheapest running one with a title on marketplace.”
AHHAHAHA totaly get that! Its hard for us to keep money in pockets because theres always a deal somewhere
Do the Intake manifold from a single fit on the dual carb motor I may switch from dual carb to single
No. support.shoptjbc.com/article/53-how-do-i-convert-my-dual-carb-setup-to-a-single-carb-setup
