This is my brother's 1984 Honda Shadow VT700C. I'm selling it because he is out of the country and needs the money where he is (Japan) to buy another bike. He bought this one a year ago (before we both got laid off from the same company and plans changed) for $2500 and has since put almost $1000 into it which you basically get for free: * New carburetor diaphragms (the originals turned out to be torn in multiple places) - $225 from Plaza Cycle * New, aftermarket saddlebags from Wright's - $200 * New brake pads from Wright's - $50 * Newly rebuilt brake calipers - $45 * New stator - $150 * New fuses, inline fuse holders, etc - $50 * New, aftermarket highway bars - $100 * New, aftermarket handlebars - $80 The first generation Shadows have the highest power-to-weight ratio of any production Honda cruiser EVER. That's right: more power out of the engine and on the pavement, and it weighs way less than the more recent models. It will smoke any Shadow or VTX and even the smaller displacement sport bikes. It's a blast to ride (that's why we've owned 3 of them). It will pull 120 mph on a straight, flat stretch. Ask me how I know. Other than the handlebars and the highway pegs it's all stock, including the original paint and decals. Obviously a 25 year old paint job isn't going to be perfect, and this one does have a few small nicks and superficial scratches, but it easily passes the 10 Foot Test. Still needs a new rear tire. I'd recommend Wright's for just about anything you need, and their tire guys are great and fast. I have another of these Shadows and I paid $150 for a complete set, out the door. The front tire has a slow leak, but it takes almost a week to leak out enough to be unsafe and I haven't been able to locate the leak. Could be the valve stem or the bead. I'd recommend having it checked out when you do the rear tire just so you don't have to put up with the leak. There is a small tear on the top corner of the rear seat that has been sealed so it won't tear any further. I've been meaning to hit it up with some vinyl/leather touchup spray paint but haven't been able to make time for it yet. I'll include what's left of my can of that stuff (maybe 1/2 can) with the sale so you can get it done because I'm out of time. You see, I'm moving out of state as well, so we need to wrap this up quickly or the bike will go in a storage shed for years until my brother moves home. Nobody wants this bike to rot in a dusty storage shed so show a Honda some love and come take a test drive. Must have motorcycle endorsement and proper safety gear to ride. I will be making a copy of your ID before you ride. (If you've been watching the news you know there has been a series of bike thefts recently.) No ID, no ride. Would most prefer a local sale, but I will be driving through the Midwest to our new home in South Carolina. I could deliver along I-70 for a rate to be negotiated.
