HOLY CHROME YOU'RE SHARP. That's what the mistake was. I realized it eventually. Thanks so much for watching. You're hired next time I get another Shadow to work on. :p And I'm judging the hell out of it. Myself, that is.

I thought the same thing

I'm running into this same problem... I've watched him take off and re-install the spring seat assembly several times now and the process looks identical... I can't see what is "reversed" Can you elaborate a bit?

@@bikerbobcat I'm running into this same problem here... I've watched you take off and re-install the spring seat assembly several times now and the process looks identical... I can't see what is "reversed" and what you are doing differently. Do you remember by chance?

Thanks so much for watching. SO... Looking at my copy of the Haynes Owners Workshop Manual for the VT600 & 750, 1988-2003, section 5-4, illustration 4.8 appears to show both pulse generators can be accessed without touching the clutch assembly itself. I really suggest you get this book (or another if you have a better suggestion!) because it shows this wide open, step by step. Good luck! I believe in you!

I'm so glad this video was useful! Best news I'll hear today. I got the exhaust, carb kit and intakes from TJ Brutal Customs (www.shoptjbc.com). If you have a Honda Shadow or similar, TJ has a good selection, good customer service and fair prices. Thanks for watching!

Thanks for watching but it's hard to say without seeing it and it's been some time since I looked at it myself. Probably the lifter plate is too high? I genuinely don't know. Good luck. :/

It was some time ago but I believe I did, it was from a tube. Don't go overboard with it because you don't want it squishing out and coming off inside the case and clogging up the works, which it can do. Thanks for watching, I hope this helps!

@@bikerbobcat thank you for the reply. If I can ask as well did you have it in a gear or on neutral?

I would assume I had it in neutral so I could roll the bike around the shop, but to be honest I have no idea.

It was actually pretty simple. I took the wheels off and cleaned them very, very thoroughly with concentrated Simple Green, scrubbing with plastic brushes and sponges to get all the grime and light rust off. Then tightly and precisely taped over what I did not want to paint with blue painters tape and newspaper for inside the hub, bearings, etc. Then used high gloss gold or "chrome gold" spray paint. Be sure to paint from all directions so there's no "shadows" from the spokes and let thoroughly dry between coats. Once fully dry it might not hurt to do another coat of gloss over that. Thank you so much for watching, I can't wait to try this project again.

Thank you for watching! I honestly have no idea about the risers and bars. I THINK they are just stock that come with it. If you look up the OEM and get the dimensions, you can compare it to what you have now. Good luck!

I'm not a mechanic but if you haven't already, follow the cable from the handle to the transmission. Make sure the cable isn't snapped, stretched out, or needs adjusting. If that's good then it may be the clutch is worn out, or the lifter springs went bad or something like that internally. I really recommend getting the Haynes shop manual if you haven't. Thanks for watching and good luck!

You have to use a torque wrench to not tighten the plate down too much. Stick with the specs! I used the EBC Clutch install tool from Parts Giant, www.partsgiant.com/p342035-ebc-clutch-installation-and-removal-tool?m=480408&gclid=CjwKCAjwmv-DBhAMEiwA7xYrdw4SKWzidYtyPan78XLb9UX7miaAtyBD_uiYk326C-538gdynAcHVhoC6PUQAvD_BwE It's like $40 for EBC Clutch Installation & Removal Tool Item Number: 342035-480408. You have to select your make/model/year but that's it. Worked really well. But USE A TORQUE WRENCH on that pressure plate, I did the same thing! You can do it! I believe in you!

@@bikerbobcat Thank you!!!!

I don't remember exactly where I bought the clutch holder tool but this is it. www.partsgiant.com/p342035-ebc-clutch-installation-and-removal-tool?m=480408&gclid=CjwKCAjwmv-DBhAMEiwA7xYrdw4SKWzidYtyPan78XLb9UX7miaAtyBD_uiYk326C-538gdynAcHVhoC6PUQAvD_BwE

Thank you so much bro. Very helpfully

It was some time ago but I believe it was something like 24, 25, 26mm. The book says 18mm but I think that's the internal diameter. Thank you for watching anyway. Hope that helped. :/

Its 27mm, same size as the rear axle

I listen to a lot of lectures, Alan Watts included. Please don't flag. :/ Thanks for watching.
