I thought I should have a back up project for the winter, so I made a commitment to buy a ‘95 Honda Shadow VLX600. I don’t have a good picture to share of the actual bike. This beast has a whopping 41 hp, channeled through a 4 speed tranny! The bike has less than 2,000 miles, needs carb work and cosmetic attention due to many years of neglect. Not really my thing (model wise) but it looked like it had potential to clean up nicely. Engine cases, valve covers and hubs show corrosion under the clear coat, but that should clean up well. Chrome should clean up too, with the only challenge being the front spokes. There’s some marks (scratches) on the left side cover but the tank and fenders are nice. The inside of the tank is very clean.
Once I get the bike and start work on it I’ll post up my progress and or challenges. Best guess is I should have it in a few weeks. I must be a glutton for punishment adding another vehicle to the garage. Lol
