- first ride of the season, Honda shadow 750 1999, picked it up last week, got it saftied, an amazing bike as anew rider.
ample power for highway cruising, and easy to maneuver.
i owned the exact same bike my first cruiser loved it and it is bulletproof, but had the opportunity to more or less steal a 2002 honda VTX1800r so i took a huge jump
I sold it too, and after owning a couple of other bigger bikes, ended up getting back to another shadow ace. Just love the simplicity of this machine.
What a beautiful bike!!! I'm jealous, looks amazing.
They had some great color combos back in the day...great looking American Classic Edition that's now a classic American bike...
Love the ACE. I had a 2003 and loved it. Yours is a great colour. Think it’s time for me to get another one. Enjoy!
Thank you, good luck on your purchase.
There is a manual and tool kit unther the seat left cover
Great video. I also have a 1999 honda shadow ace 750. Yes the blueing on the exhaust is from running lean. The previous owner probably put the exhaust on without a proper re jet. You probably just need to have the carbs rejetted. Other than that great bike, these things are bulletproof!
Thank you for the feedback
When using aftermarket drag pipes, you need to install a dyna-jet carb kit ($80-90 US), to avoid lean mixture
I also have a 1999 Ace deluxe 750 cd2 and I ruined the first set of pipes by not doing the jet kit. It involves removing the carbs and drilling/ adding new ,larger jets to enrichen the air/ fuel mixture. Took about 2 hours with the adjustments after install.
That explains the pipe turning blue
Beautiful bike
Do you still happen to own this shadow? I was wondering how that LED headlight is mounted inside your headlight housing. As far as I know the daymaker lights need a fabricated bracket in order to fit. If possibly may you post a video of it or possibly pm some photos?
Hi, I bought the bike the way it looks in the video, I believe it is fabricated to fit, I could see silicon cocking around it to.make it water proof.
Sorry I wasn't of enough help
@@grinding-gears hey no worries! Any bit of info I can gather from the internet is helpful! Much appreciate.
Haha you read that same amazon review I did huh?
Bought my phantom in 14. ZERO issues so far (2023). Good thing! Shadows aren't sold in Canada anymore .
I sold the shadow and got a shadow spirit 1100, just as amazing as the old one.
All ACES run lean from the factory.
Great bike. I have a 2001.
Nice bike dude. I have an 01
Nice bike Sir 👍😎
Stop using sea foam for the love of god. If you ride it enough there is absolutely zero need for that
99.9% of gasoline these days have “detergents” in them already
Good to know.
Too many info online sometimes gets you in wrong direction.
Thank you
Great Video, I ride 1999 VT 1100 c
Great reliable machines, I was looking for a 1100cc,
750cc are great beginners, you will grow over pretty fast I felt.
@@grinding-gears Thanks, 4 Reply !;
Led suck. Bike looks the best with the factory headlight that it came with.
Naw, this bike looks amazing, LED adds a bit of style and modernity.
멋진 바이크 이다.
How come You’re selling ?
Looking to upgrade, want to get the vtx 1300 instead
@@grinding-gears ah yes I hear you. Nice bikes. My insurance is still a bit high for a 1300 I’m interested in yours I saw it on kijiji
Bullet proof ? Yes. Rev limiter set very low extends the life of the engine. But slow as a snail. Top speed of a whole 91 mph and not In a hurry about getting there either. I’d take one of the old 750 4’s over the v twin any day. Better engine all the way around. I love Honda’s but the shadow was a disappointment unless your a newbie.
It is definitely a good beginner,
People still enjoy riding them around and taking it easy. Not if you are looking for that adrenaline rush.
I ride my shadow 750 everyday to work. And i bought a vtx1800r for long cruises. Between both the shadow is more lightweight to maneuver
