It is with great sadness am listing my XXXX Honda VTXXXX Shadow, remember seeing the ads for these on the TV years ago and just wanted one. was lucky enough to acquire this one from bloke up in Echuca nearly years ago.
As soon as got it went about "Customising" it with the assistance of Brad at Global Motorcycles in Dandenong (he is perfectionist so all mods have been done correctly). have changed the factory "Pullbacks" for set of "mini apes" as found the "Pullbacks"  extremely uncomfortable and the "mini apes" give nice comfy riding position.The seat was reupholstered just before took ownership, the pillion is original.
The standard indicators have been replaced with "Clear LEDs" but flash orange and the front indicators have been relocated to the forks as didn't like them on the handle bars (too cluttered). Also there are custom "Highway Pegs" and Chrome Cover on the radiator.
The exhaust is custom set of "Cobra" slash pipes imported and fitted by the previous owner that sound tough had the front forks rebuilt while back as XX+ year old springs get soft, it was very "divey" and you lost around inches of travel when you sat on it ,now you lose less than X/X of that, vast improvement in ride. The only "plastic" on this bike is the obvious (indicators etc) and the coolant tank, everything else is "real steel" guards etc unlike later models; this is the bike Harley Davidson got upset about as the similarity between this bike and the "Wide Glide" were too close (roughly matching specs except Harley X/X inches longer wheelbase).
Most people who look at my bike say it looks in Showroom condition wouldn't go that far but would say its been well cared for. It only has XXXXXkms since new ,that's only XXXXkms year since new, well loved and cared for bike. do have set of large saddle bags  (viewable in picture X) that only use when needed as they hide "Shiny Bits"(very male). The only real thing bad is there is small dent in the front of the tank (left hand side Xmm XXmm) caused by the clutch cable leaning against it when you use the steering lock. It can be seen in photo if you look really hard. have jet kit for the bike supplied that comes with bike, that gives about XX > XX horsepower extra ,but seriously this thing will easily do in excess of XXXkms per hour stock (I've never been over XXX and that was for very short distance).
These bikes are basically Twin sports bike motor in cruiser frame, geared for the Highway (X speed) you are lucky to get out of Xrd gear around suburbia.
Just fitted XX/XX/XX "trickle charger" to keep the battery fully charged during those times you don't ride (winter) or if you're just "weekend or sunday bikie".
The bike comes with Heavy Duty weather cover which always use even though the bike lives under cover.
Just found (XX-X-XX) have spare keys and "Shadow" keyring (shown in photo X)
Only selling as out of work ,and bills need to be paid.
Bike has months reg late December .

Just uploaded video of the bike running if anyone would like look (just copy and paste the URL into your browser)
