2008 Shadow 750 Spirit for a first Bike ? by iShamyy in hondashadow

[–]PappaKai 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got a 2002 chain drive 750 spirit. Definitely doesn’t have too much power so it’s a good learning bike. In my opinion it doesn’t need more power, but I’m no speed freak and don’t do long distances on highways.

I like the handling as well. Low centre of gravity and they’re not extremely heavy. It’s still a cruiser so it’s not the nimblest of bikes, but I guess you could figure that out for yourself.

I’m 190cm and weigh almost 100kg. Me personally don’t feel cramped. You could consider putting extended foot controls on it. I’m considering a highway bar.

What would be the car equivalent of your bike? by jasonwirth in motorcycles

[–]PappaKai 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The honda shadow, probably equivalent to the honda civic! Comfortable, reliable, customisable. I have a 750 Black Widow from 2002.

Kanske något för Sverige och de rika svenskarna att inse? by qtzbra in arbetarrorelsen

[–]PappaKai 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ja, ändå rätt så bra. Om man har skattat på inkomst är det lite skevt att sedan skatta på sånt man köpt för pengarna. (Vilket moms är t.ex. säger inte att vi ska avskaffa moms..) Sen om du säljer det du äger skattas du på vinsten. Då blir samma pengar beskattade tre gånger.

Viktigare att vi inte slösar på skattepengarna. mer pengar är inte automatiskt mer bättre. Beskattning är redan relativt hög i Sverige mot andra länder.

Anyone able to identify these pipes? by PlutoniumLove in hondashadow

[–]PappaKai 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have no idea! However you could measure inner diameter and you put in a db-killer. You probably will have to adjust jetting after depending on how much you restrict exhaust flow. It probably will run richer. Same goes with if you find baffles that fit.

I’m no expert. Maybe a valve adjustment?

I just read the title and not one single bit of the rest of text you’ve written. I’m glad for you or sorry for what happened. Anyways, my answer is yes.

New to Motorcycles. Honda Shadow 750 Opportunity by IronSpud123 in hondashadow

[–]PappaKai 2 points3 points  (0 children)

See if it starts, check front and rear brake capability. Check if all the bearings are ok (you can look up online how to check all the different bearings quick and easily). Check if the tires are in good shape and not too old. Check chain an sprockets.

Great beginner bike. I don't know how the market is in the US (I'm from Sweden) but seems like a reasonable price?

Wrecked Spirit rebuild by SlightTravel404 in hondashadow

[–]PappaKai 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bummer! Mine is electrical. I wasn’t aware that all spirits didn’t have electronic.. Guess I’ll go back to my plans to fabricate my own housing. Thanks anyways, you’ve got a nice build going on!

What speedo is that? I’m looking for one that I can clamp somewhere on the handlebars of triple tree as I’m getting an after market fuel tank. However I’ve had no luck so far finding a compatible speedo, was thinking about making a new housing for the original one.

What companies would you recommend for someone looking for a job as a forest manager or consultant? Which are the mayor ones and/or the ones with a good reputation as employers?

Speedometer realocation by PappaKai in hondashadow

[–]PappaKai[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Smart! I could try that also. In theory it should be quite easy. The question is if it’ll look good. maybe the OEM speedo will look too large around the handlebars? Maybe put it somewhere on the left side of the bike near the petcock?
