    DO NOT SIGN UP USING hotmail, outlook, gmx, sbcglobal, att, bellsouth or email.com. They delete our forum signup emails.

    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

  • In order to help others find info on a particular bike, be sure to put the year, make or model of bike that you are asking a question about, in the Topic Title. This will allow people to pass by posts they have no interest in.

Just picked this bad boy up yesterday. I technically had a Virago in my garage for a bit, but this is my first V-Twin that I plan on riding. The idea with this bike is to keep it for cruising around with the wife.

Planning on changing out a few little things... might do different bars, change the seat out for a more comfortable passenger seat and back, and likely change out the bags for some a little bigger and not as "dated" looking.

The GS is not going anywhere for the foreseeable future, but if the right offer were to be presented, I would consider it.

My son has had two of them. The first one got totaled when hit and he went out and found another. He loves it and has put a lot of trouble free miles on it. My buddy is a Honda mechanic and he says he never gets one in the shop for anything other than tires or oil changes.

I like that seat. Bags look good too, but I'd probably get something a smidge smaller. Debating on a windshield like that as well.
 
My 1/2 brother has a couple of them (one is his, one is his girlfriend's) and they ride them allot and I never hear him mentioning any problems except that the guys on "crotch rockets" are always screaming by him. lol
 
The only thing I ever have to do on them at the shop, is oil, pads and tires. Very solid and reliable bikes. Not to mention they look and sound good also.
 
Congratulations on the purchase of your Honda Shadow. A friend owned one and it was Honda reliable throughout.
