1997 Honda Shadow on 2040-motos

After I purchased it I took the time to restore this bike in order to give it a worry free, solidly reliable and trustworthy commuter machine reputation (I ride year round as long as no ice on roadway). Turns out that it's way more then just a great commuting cruiser! Bike is REALLY fun to ride and has a great tone both on and off throttle (thanks to the Cobra system). I find it an easy ride with a more than comfortable rider seat -- can easily ride several hundred miles in a day without your bum getting tired.

Intensive preventative maintenance performed at 17230 miles included:

- Replaced ALL wheel bearings and seals,

- Replaced swing arm bearings and seals,

- Replaced steering head bearings and seals,
