A Shadow was my first bike and after 4 others a Shadow is still my bike.:D

I like riding solo but doesnt bother me to go for a group ride every once in a while. Nice to meet fellow bikers.

Ive never laid my bike down yet (knock on wood) but I will be willing to lend a hand if you need any help. I love getting my hands dirty.

Thanks Ill give him a call tommorow.

Lol I wasnt going to put any pressure in the forks till after I replaced the seals. I was looking at it and there is not air pressure stickers or anything. So that must make it oil only. That being said does anyone know how much oil these forks take. I dont have a manual so I am going off...

I picked up this bike about 2 days ago and it needs fork seals. I plan on doing it this weekend. I was looking at the top of the fork tubes and all there is is a big chrome cap that covers the fork tube. There is no valve like a valve stem. My 1984 Shadow has this valve stem in the top of the...

Lol, no. I bought it because I got a REALLY good deal on it. My 500 is slow but it also has some mechanical problems that would have cost more to fix than the bike was worth. I was just joking about the couldnt keep up.:D

lol, definelty. You will be the first to know by the smoke signal.:D The 1100 needs fork seals before it goes on the road. Hope to have it on the road by next month.

After you start the bike how low is the idle? Open the fuel cap and try to start it. Could be the filler cap is not venting and you dont have air behind fuel. It will make it bogg down and die. It also could be a spark problem. I have heard of a few bike after they run for a bit and the coils...

I went home the other day because I couldnt keep up. I went out tonight and bought a 1100cc Honda Shadow lol. Now ill keep up.:p

Are you guys going on the highway?

Where abouts are you guys headed?

Yep, found the right stuff. Did the oil change and its good to go. Thx again gamma1.

Ya just the bike is a daily driver and I have it running in the morning to head to school. Since it liquid cooled it takes longer to warm up. By the time I get to school and shut off the bike is when the bike gets to operating temperature. Doesnt have very much time to get to a good operating range.

thx gamma1 Ill head there tommorow and get some.

I was at Canadian Tire today and all they have for motorcycle oil is 20w50. Is this ok to run in my bike or should I find some 10w40 somewhere? Thanks Aaron

Rest in peace rider.

Hey Taleb, I forgot is the bracket steel? Cant remember from the other night.

Ya you put parking insurance on it. I think its like $7 a month and you don't have to get it saftied again. You just call and they put insurace back on it.

Dang, didnt see the post till it was to late.
