@fahqdowns You're welcome...I liked riding my Shadow, it was pretty comfortable, and had a nice ride. As for your Harley friends, ask them this: "If Harley made an airplane, would they fly in it?" The obvious answer is hell no, it'd never make it off the ground, but sure would look good sitting there, lol! And like they say, 95 percent of all Harleys are still on the road, and the other 5 percent actually made it back home!
Fahqdowns: I also had two mounting brackets made up. I had a small bolt welded on the front part of the lower muffler, that attaches with a bracket to the stock location. Then I had two small bolts welded to the rear portion of both mufflers, with a bracket that connects the two. So they're mounted pretty solidly. If you look where the rear wheel axle, you can just make out a black bracket that goes between the two mufflers.
@fahqdowns: I'm pretty sure they're 2" inlet and outlet. Like I mentioned, if I had to do it over again, I would've used a 20" for the top, and a 24" for the bottom, and slash cut tips that are 2 1/4" in diameter. I had to get some small adapter pipes made up to go from the down pipes to the inlets of the glasspacks, but a local muffler shop took care of those. The adapter pipes are hidden under the heat shields, so it looks pretty clean.
I think they're 24" glasspacks I bought from Summit Racing, then had a muffler shop do some connectors under the head shields, and weld the slash cut tips. If I had to do it over again, I would've gotten a 20" glasspack for the top, and 24" glasspack for the bottom, so it's not staggered so much, and 1/4" larger diameter tips.
Fahqdowns: yes, I got the bike rejetted. I don't have the bike anymore, so I can't tell you what the new jet sizes are. But if you do this mod, expect to change the stock jetting on the carbs.
@bronzestarvue I appreciate all the great info. My harley friends talked me into buying a bike. They gave me alot of sh!t when i rolled up on my shadow but after a summer of modifying i seem to get more compliments on my bike then they do. Thankyou for the cool idea. The new mean sound will be the cherry on top.
@bronzestarvue Thats the greatest thing i've seen done to a shadow. So badass i gotta do it to my vt 1100 now. Did you have to install a jet kit? What size inlet are the packs? Any info would be alot of help and thankyou for the great idea
Can you get out on the street and ride away from the cam? Everybody does the stationary rev- up thing and that ain't a good idea of how the bike sounds when you are riding.
What's that smoke coming from your engine, it sounds great though! I've got an 1988 shadow with jetted with cobra exhausts but I like the way yours sounds! My shadow is old but damn she still runs great! That's Honda for ya. Fuck Harley! Fuk paying all that money for the name and the sound! And wen a Harley breaks down, and they do break down, you better be prepared to dip into that savings account really deep
