Absolutely. I just want to make the bike more mine(if that makes sense) without changing the overall look too much. I really love the look of the original and try to be careful in how much I change that.
Thanks for watching and commenting. I really appreciate your kind words. The tire pressure monitor is probably one of the best purchases I've made so far
I have that exact tank bag, my wife bought it for me, I laughed at it at first. But the laughter stopped once I used it a couple times lol, its very convenient for keeping things that you might need access to at a light and you dont want to wrestle with the bike trying to get into your fork or saddle bags lol
the clear cover on that bag, with a smaller battery powered LED like the tiny stickup night lights, makes for a great make shift lantern, or if you get a light that flashed, a great safety flasher at night without having to use your bikes battery up with the hazards on
Really appreciate this video! Lots of cool stuff and ideas. I've also been contemplating a batwing fairing or a windshield similar to what you have. I love cruising with no windshield, but want something to cut down the wind and stuff on those long highway trips. Just can't make up my mind lol. Love the channel 😎
I am in the process of buying a Honda Shadow 750 Aero. The bike I am getting has a windshield but I am planning on replacing that with a bat wing fairing. I used to ride many years ago on a KZ1000. I put a bat wing fairing on it. Best move I made of all my accessories. Wind Protection, storage, etc all outweighed any arguments against the bat wing.
I actually completely agree with you the batwing fairing is probably the best add on for a bike. They are quality and do a great job with wind protection. Congratulations on your shadow purchase I know your going to absolutely love the bike. Excellent comment thanks.
I really like the power adapter with USB’s. The battery wing looks great to me on big Harley Road King. Might look good on the shadow too. I just got a 2005 Aero 750. I hope I enjoy riding it. 😁 I enjoyed the video.
I really do like the functionality of the batwing. I just think that it may change the overall look that was intended on the Shadow a bit too much. I may change my mind in the future and go for one, though. That's the beauty of these bikes (Harley as well). You can make them look how you want to suit your needs. Great comment 👍
Not keen on the Bat Wing fairings. I like the smaller Vedder Rooster that's more compact and has speakers and a stereo. The '82 Yamaha XJ750 I bought had that Rooster fairing, unfortunately the windshield cracked and the wind blew it in half off the bike. I will be picking up another XJ1100 and would like to have the same fairing or at least a windshield for them all.
I haven't checked out the vetter rooster fairing. Thanks for the tip. I definitely will. I'm not as keen on having audio speakers and all of that. However, it's definitely worth a look. Thanks for the suggestion.
I dearly appreciate mentioningbtge heat i live in phoenix and ive had what ill call an my phone having an episode!from my phone being in my jeans pocket lol.
Also in addition extend the batwing with a friend in the auto body parts and painting shop by adding on the side lower to look like the batwing on the 2023 Harley Davidson electric glide 114 cc.
The batwing/windjammer might block the rad. I have the same bike , first thing I did was removed the sissy bar , back rest and mounted a large top case. I also have the same windshield and just old leather saddlebags. Happy riding from Cape Coral Florida. 👍. PS I have a Honda helix and a reflex also for quick runs to the store
Heck yeah man I'll bet riding in Florida is really awesome and like me you can ride year round . I have thought about adding a top cas to mine as well but remain undecided so far. I just love the look the shadow has now.
Really appreciate your video. I think I’ll get a Shadow Aero this year to add to my Goldwing. If I like it well enough I’ll sell the GW. At 75 the GW is getting to be a lot to push around the shop. I will be needing a windshield or a Batwing fairing, a gps and I’d really like having some grip heaters. I live in Arkansas where I can ride all year.
I really appreciate you taking the time to watch and commenting Man I love the Goldwing!!!! Such a master class bike!!! They are heavy though I think you would love the handling of the shadow
That tank bag rocks. I'm telling you for a walmart purchase I'm completely happy with that bag. Congratulations on your shadow spirit purchase and welcome to the club. Also thanks for watching and taking the time to comment
My bike is in storage for the winter. I just got back to biking in August after not riding for 40 years. The bike came with bags a cover, a set of Cobra pipes that I switched back to stock and a batwing. I haven't installed the batwing yet and I cant drive over 50 mph due to the wind effect. I will try the fairing in April when I get the bike back and let you know. I'm hoping to get up to 65 mph with the fairing.
Sounds like you made great progress in the short time you were back on the bike. I'm positive the fairing is going to help you with the wind and it sounds like your really doing great. Like I always say ride your own ride and don't let anyone influence that. What made you decide to get back on the bike after 40 years? I really want to thank you for watching and commenting as well.
I guess we never forget our 1st bike and the era we drove in.This was the 70s and I was having a great time. Throughout life, marriage, kids, mortgage careers we put some things on the back burner. I don't want to miss out on the experience. I have only ridden alone. It's peaceful. I'm only responsible for myself for the first time in I can't remember. On a side bar I did have installed crash bars. I want to give my legs a standing chance of surviving a drop or accident. I have a 2004 Aero 750 with 40k miles it's shinny and red, more than enough bike.
No I don't think we ever do really forget. Riding, for me anyway, is my happy place. It allows me to clear my head and the peace that comes with it is very therapeutic. I believe that it will actually add years to life if we are careful. The bike sounds great and crash bars are.an excellent idea, plus they look really cool.
Fairing? Looks? Who cares? FUNCTION matters, nothing else. I always prefer a Silhouette type. Just the frontal shape of a fairing, yet clear all the way down. Thks for the info re: what you have, but (1) more info re: back rest & (2) the rear box mount??? I don't want saddle bags (I'm considering buying a Honda Shadow). Secondly, how the saddle fits you? Your height and inseam? Are rear shocks factory or new, improved type? Did you ride cross nation, or just a Sunday morning cruiser? BTW, I'm four-score years now and plan one last ride-around before I die.
Can't say I'm a fan of the fairings, but people that use em say they wouldn't go back after getting one. I pulled the windshield off my Shadow for the look and ended up throwing it right back on the bike. It's definitely nice to have the wind protection. Plus, is the 1:40 on the clock just a peel away sticker for demo purposes?
I agree on the windshield 100 percent. As far as the fairing goes I'm still on the fence. I really appreciate the input!! I'm embarrassed to say I haven't checked to see if that's a clock sticker. Lol I'm such a noob
I’m also debating between my clear windshield or a Batwing. I haven’t decided yet. I like the looks and functionality of the Batwing but the body is black. With the windshield I have full road visibility and I already own it. I have a 86 Honda VT1100C and the only one that fits is the single wall handle bar mount, like what I already have. I’m going to keep what I have until visibility gets bad then maybe change it out. Thanks for your opinions and let us know what you decide to do. Keep your tires on the road!
I agree with your assessment . I don't know. I guess I think by adding the ferring I'm starting to turn the bike into a bagger, and though it would look great, I'm not sure if I want to do that.
@@meandmyshadow7839 I have to say I agree with you, I should have bought a bagger if that’s what I wanted. I liked the light and no fuss look of my bike, then I couldn’t carry anything. I put on some Viking bags and problem solved. I paid a shop to install fork seals and they put a big scratch in my fairly new windshield, now I hate it. I didn’t notice it until later or a new one would be installed, my bad. I ordered a universal Batwing and it’s here tomorrow 6/21. It’s painted to match my black and has a better look than the boring windshield. I figured I’m riding it so if I like it, that’s what counts. I had a riding buddy tell me I should have just bought a bagger but I like the one I have so why buy into a large debt. When push comes to shove it’s what I like that c
Yes it's all about your ride not anyone else's. I love baggers ND I love cruisers My plan honestly is to keep the 750 and add a second bike A tourer that I can afford. I have looked at everything from Goldwings to Vulcan Voyagers but haven't found the right one yet and the right price. I really want to keep my Shadow for smaller.rides in town maneuvers and have the bigger bike for longer trips. That is the goal anyway
I have a 2013 Shadow Phantom and want a windscreen but am not sure if I'd like the look of a full batwing. I'm actually quite comfortable without a windscreen now but, think a small one would be nice.
I have tried several different windshield designs and always come back to the one I have on her now. Everyone hS different likes and dislikes when it comes to windscreens. I rode for a long time without but ultimately decided on the one you see on mine now. Better for me on the highway, Better protection at higher speeds. I like the batwing ferring however wanted to keep more of the original look over adding the ferring. Again it comes down to practicality and overall look. Great comment man!!! Thanks for watching and commenting 👍
@@meandmyshadow7839 this is my first motorcycle and I didn't like the wind at first. Now that I've been riding I've gotten used to it and, suspect a large windscreen wouldn't suit me. Plus I just don't think anything too large would look like right for this bike.
@stevenwilliams1805 Absolutely, and a ton of people feel the same way. I have a lot of friends who would never use a windscreen on their bikes. Like I said, it is totally up to the rider. I get teased a lot, saying mine is a grandpa windshield, lol I personally like the protection from the wind now. Like I said, though, I rode for a long time with no windshield. I like that look a lot.
where did you get your luggage rack? been looking for one for my shadow vt750 C3? oh, by the way I did do my back sproket from 41T to a 38 T and a heaver front spoket and an o ring chain;. Love the saddle bags (there sold out and dont know when they will get them in) I ordered the tire pressure gauges, thought they were nice to have and safety as well - good point too. Bat farings, was thinking of them, but still thinking of them. Guess its personal choice, and personally I would like to see someone who has one installed first before buying it. Keep doing the videos and was wondering which video editor your using? ty
So how does that new sprocket work for you? I have heard it works really well The luggage rack came stock with the bike. As far as bat fairing the jury is still out for me on that one. I'm still just gonna go with the new windshield for now I put new tires on mine about 9 months ago. I ordered them then had the Honda dealer put them on Drove the slick off of them the se day lol. Thanks for watching and commenting Always appreciated!!
Hey and thanks for watching and commenting. Welcome to the channel. You may look into Saddlemen. I haven't priced em out but they may be a bit less expensive. Let me know what you settle on
Does your bike use relays? If you have relays then the safest way to wire all the goodies in would be to tie them into the accessories relay. They sell them as direct battery connect to be "universal" to any bike and thankfully you have the on/off mechanical switch to cut the parasitic drain to the battery. Bikes with relays you can hang them off the relays and not worry about parasitic drain issues as the relays disconnect when the key isn't in and turned to the on/acc position.
@@meandmyshadow7839 At minimum all bikes would have a starter and turn signal relay but those would not be suitable to tap into since the are only in use momentarily. On my bike for example if I turn the key off then I notice that my headlight goes off so that tells me that circuit is tied in behind the key switch. My key switch cuts and connects the battery power to everything downstream of it which would be handy to tie off onto as it would supply power when key is inserted and turned on which is when I would want an accessory device powered and running then when they key is removed at the end of a ride the power connection to the bike’s battery would be cut to the device and no worrying about any parasitic drain on the battery while the bike sits. Honda should be a negative ground so any chassis component or ground wire should read zero volts on a dmm meter when tested to the negative terminal in the battery. So that would mean the key switch is switching the positive side of the battery to everything downstream of it. If I tested and confirmed this on my bike I’d leave the negative wire I ran to the battery there if not wanting to move it then move the positive wire that I had previously run directly to the battery positive terminal so it now connects behind the key switch which is switching the positive side of the battery. Then it would have a complete circuit and power up when key is inserted and turned to on and when key removed the positive is cut off and the device no longer gets power and cannot drain the battery. If that makes sense. Then for safety sake I’d always make sure each device had either its own fuse or I’d put in a fuse block to tie off all my devices behind fuse protection. Your favorite online retailer would likely sell 380 or whatever number of pieces kits of endless sizes of automotive blade fuses and then ten or automotive blade fuse holders with wires already attached for $14 or so.
I'm not a fan of windshields on cruisers in general, let alone batwing fairings. Although, they seem great for freeway riding. I think the bike would look better with your current windshield.
I tend to agree. If I do a batwing I'm afraid it will make it look to much like a bagger. Baggers aren't horrible just not sure if it takes to much away from the shadows look.
What’s the fuel requirement on your 750? I’m considering a 2022 750 Shadow Aero and might run 91 octane ethanol free unleaded that is easily accessible at our local Maverik gas stations which we have 12 in our city. I like the idea of ethanol free
My 03 ACE will run on 86 percent or higher. I like to run at least 92. I have run 87 in a pinch however try to avoid anything lower than 92 if I can help it. Excellent question, thank you!!!
I really like what you have done to your bike. Now I want to rebuild my 2007 ty for your video
Absolutely. I just want to make the bike more mine(if that makes sense) without changing the overall look too much. I really love the look of the original and try to be careful in how much I change that.

I got a Memphis Shades "Fats" windshield. With 'Solar' tint. Works great, looks right.
Those are really awesome and quality windshields. I'll bet y I u that it looks kick ass as well!!!
Nice I saw them also.
I ordered a Memphis shades batwing fairing, I ride my friends bike with one and it does help cut through the wind.
Cool how much was it?Also does it have the mounting system or just the fairing?

What’s the fuel requirement on your 750? I’m considering a 2022 750 Shadow Aero and might run 91 octane ethanol free unleaded that is easily accessible at our local Maverik gas stations which we have 12 in our city. I like the idea of ethanol free
My 03 ACE will run on 86 percent or higher. I like to run at least 92. I have run 87 in a pinch however try to avoid anything lower than 92 if I can help it. Excellent question, thank you!!!
I lashed out and got the mustang seat rider and passenger with the backrest . Expensive but well worth it for the comfort :)
Wow that's a great purchase but probably worth it like you said. Is that a one piece seat ?
@@meandmyshadow7839 3 piece actually front /passenger /removable back rest :)
Sweet. I know that alot of people swear by mustang and say that they are the most comfortable seats made.
Where does the gps go?? When you use it.
I have it on my Ram Mount. If you watch my Lizards Tail video, you will see it. I posted it about a month and a half ago.
if you go with a batwing fairing, get yourself some of that sound deadening matting, its cheap, and trust me, you will not be sorry
Great suggestion thanks I will.
