Honda Shadow description

1983 Honda Shadow 750vt. It is not running at this point. I bought this to do a Bobber project, but soon discovered I didn't have the time, the tools or the skill to take on this project. I am now getting married so some of these "I want to get to at some point" have to go. I have a Clymer manual to go with it. I have replaced a few parts and put on drag bars. I have not cut the frame, but have scrubbed & cleaned up the bike considerably. I have a few other parts and new gaskets for it. I was handed the title when I bought it, but it hasn't been licensed in years. I learned a lot with this project and now it is time for someone else to make my/their dream a reality. If I had the time or patience, it would also make a good parting out bike, but really I just want it gone.The 1st 2 photos are how I bought it.The 2nd 2 photos are what I have done to it so far (drag bars not shown, but are included).The last two images are the look I was heading to.Please feel free to call me, but please be serious and respectful with any offers... at this price, it is almost free already :-) If you are going to email me, please put "Serious about 750s" in the subject line so I know it is not spam.Thanks!!

Mon, 06 Jan 2014

Team HRC’s Joan Barreda on the Honda CRF450 Rally, got off to a storming start in day one of the 2014 Dakar rally, clocking up the fastest time of all the 175 riders at the first time-check. The former Husqvarna rider who moved to Honda in the middle of the season inaugurated his 2014 Dakar with an acrobatic performance. The motorcycle competition was expected to be wide open, and that is indeed what the classification shows after the opening stage. It was a very early start for the Rally Dakar. The pack of riders headed off at four in the morning on a long 251 miles that took them towards the vibrant city of Rosario for the start of the 112 mile special.

Metzeler Z8 wins Motorrad award

Tue, 10 Apr 2012

METZELER'S Z8 Interact sports-touring tyre has been classed as the best wet weather sports-touring tyre by the German Motorrad TestCenter. Metzeler decided to develop new compounds for the Roadtec Z8 Interact precisely to meet these needs, tyres with the specific goal of providing riders not only the most recent technological solutions available in the area of wet performance, but also the possibility of having a tyre with a wide range of use that represents the new standard in terms of performance in any weather conditions, from wet and cold to hot and dry. The criteria considered in the wet test by Motorrad TestCenter have been: steering precision and characteristics, line holding during acceleration, ease of handling, grip at lean angle for front and rear tyres, grip during acceleration, limit range characteristics, feedback at lean angle, braking stability during full braking with ABS.

The announcement was made two days before Honda’s third quarter report for the three months ended Dec. 31, 2013, so we will have to wait to hear the financial impact, but based on these numbers, the quarterly report should be positive.
