1983 Honda Shadow

All Original 1983 VT750C Honda Shadow! The Honda Shadow was one of the best designed cruiser motorcycles that every came from Honda. In the year 1983, The first line of Shadow came out. This bike that I am selling is from the first year of Honda Shadows built. The 750cc engine on this bike was only built when for this year of Shadows during the early 1980’s. I bought this bike approximately a year and a half ago. The bike was well cared for and is running shape when the time came when I bought it. The seller told me that there was only one prior owner before him. When I bought the bike had approximately 25,000 miles on it. For over 25 years the amount of miles on the bike was a great selling point for me purchasing the bike in the first place. PLEASE READ ALL INFORMATION BEFORE BIDDING. PROS: The bike has 27,390 miles as of this moment, and I don’t plan on riding it again before being sold. The engine is still in great shape. I had the engine check by a bike mechanic about a year ago and he said the engine is still in great shape. The transmission works well in every gear from 1st to OD. The bike just had a new battery put into it. Unfortunately, these batteries are expensive so you’re getting a deal with a new battery. The tread of the tires are still in great condition and so are the rims with no noticeable wear marks from age. The seats are in perfect shape, with no tears or rips in neither the main seat nor the passenger seat. The bike recently got a new air filter and fuel filter and also had its oil change before the riding season. There is minimal rusting on the frame o the bike because of always being inside. The saddle bags are in good shape and are included in this auction. The bikes exaust has some dents in the chrome mufflers, but nothing that affects the bikes performance in anyway. The bikes shaft drive has been kept well oiled with gear oil, and all its necessary maintenance has been never neglected. CONS: The bike runs great WHEN carbs are adjusted right. I removed the carbs last year to clean them, and when I put them back on the bike has been hard to start since. The bike is missing one of its side panels. The exact panel that is missing is the left one. I lost the panel awhile ago by riding it and the wind taking it off without me noticing. The tank has been painted so it’s not the original paint job, but it was painted pretty well. There are some minor dings to the paint of the gas tank, but nothing serious, barely noticeable at all. The last con about the bike is the antifreeze pipes, the pipes do leak and require new O-rings to be installed and the pipes to be set again. Also the bike is SOLD AS IS ALSO INCLUDED IN THIS AUCTION: Saddle bags: good shape Shop Manual PAYMENT AND SHIPPING: The bike is located in the city of Shelby Ohio and perfer the buyer come to pick it up.
