Really like your vid! I have an 01 Sabre that I've had for almost 10 years and done a few things to it.. just some rear floorboards, drag pipes; my second Shadow first one I rode from Chicago to San Diego and back by myself, absolutely no issues other than a speeding ticket in Utah LOL.... These things are so bulletproof, I blasted a deer going about 50 on my 01 Sabre, 12 days after purchase... Insurance deemed it totaled, I bought it off them back for $500 fixed the hoof prints in the gas tank and I ride her daily..😂
I got a shadow sabre as my first bike to learn on.... 7 years later.. i own 2 of em.. its done everything ive asked of it. Ive added forward controls backrest passenger extentions and a mustang seat to keep the lady comfy. Im also 6'4 350 and the bike has never complained or left me stranded. I will add a full dresser but ill keep my sabre til end of days.. its really a fantastic bike.
got a 2000 sabre. Red with the black flames. Often forget to choke it on first start up. first cruiser, but second bike, coming from an 07 zx6r. love the comfort, snaps nicely off the line i usually cruise at 80 on the highway with plenty on reserve for passing. put a tach on mine cause i kept hitting the limiter in first. Released she doesn't like to be put in 5th unless i'm doing at least 62. Bike came with risers, so really happy about that and slow speed maneuvering is awesome ans lane splitting is relaxing to say the least. Coming up on time for a service i've managed to put 20k miles on her since i got her. I've found that if i short shift during hard acceleration there's a brief skip where she revs freely before the gear seems to pick up. still trying to figure out if thats something i need to worry about.
Got my '06 in '22 with 3,200 miles on it. Closing in on 20,000 miles now. And that's with 7 months of down time after a cager took us off the road for a bit.
My best friend has the biggeat fanciest harley, and calls it a recliner on wheels. I let him ride my sabre and when he got off he said "damn thats comfy!" 😂
I have an 06 and the seat isn't any better on it. Not impressed with the gas mileage either. Do like the power it has. Had larger cc and smaller cc bikes so this is a nice midrange. Like the fact you don't have to have the valves adjusted also.

Sounds like your enjoying it. A few things seem to maybe need to be looked at,
Perhaps new clutch springs/pack or clutch adjustment?
23,500 for a 2001. If you have a bike you gotta ride! Love the Shadows.
Heck yeah!!! Love um!
