    Are they for a specific bike or are the universal? I may be interested.

    Yup, The manual says to use premium. The stryker can use reg, but the 1900 plant required premium. Gotta love air cooled, push rod beasts!!

    I hear ya, and that's what I'm afraid of. But I'll just grow the collection as opposed to give it up.I fall in love with my raider every time I take her out of the garage.

    Ah, careful with using regular gas on the 1900. The high compression runs a big risk in Knock/Pre detonation which isn't noticeable by mileage, but you'll just notice when you bust a piston rod or fry a ring. I have a PCV on my raider and it is tuned with my minor mods so its more about the...

    Thanks! Raiders are definitely s unique bike. The torque is uncomparable to any other bikes I've ridden. Its an easy bike to ride and surprisingly very nimble considering its size. You can find used Raiders for a very affordable price (under $10k). But as other have said, it really depends what...

    No offense taken. Personally I LOVE the red raiders out last year, I found the black in my price range. Thinking of doing a wrap to change it up every now and then :P I think Raiders in general have nicer sounding tones to them (even when loud) compared to all the abnoxious HDs out there.

    Hey Chiller, I have a set of 3" shotguns on my Raider, you're welcome to hear them any time. I'm also tuned with a PCV so the sound may be a little different, but you'll get the idea. My Riding group loves the sound so they always get me to lead when we ride together.

    Hey Fellow Star Riders! I was a Shadow rider but have moved to the dark side! here's is baby, a 2008 Star Raider. I've done more since these shots were taken. Retro'ed HD Road King saddlebags, PCV, 12" ape hangers, shorty kickstand. So i guess my pics aren't too accurate, but here they are none...

    Honda Shadow Riders

    The mustang seats are two pieces. You can leave the rear seat off converting it to a solo seat. I did that and just put a fender bib on the rear fender to make the rear mount hole more acceptable :)

    Fuel consumptions on 750-800cc cruisers

    I'm riding an 07 750 shadow. Tank is about 12 litres I think and I get about 120 miles all city riding. Highway runs are a little more difficult as the final gear is pretty low so it revs pretty high so I don't think gas mileage wouldn't be much better than city. I say ride what you love and...

    Road King with Apes

    law is still in effect in Toronto. Got hit with a $120 ticket for my grips being more than 15" from the seat. I have 1 1/4" chubby 16" bars on my Shadow C2. its setup up nice and comfy, but I'd never go any higher. Long rides are no good for apes and 3 point turns are difficult. But like all my...
