Hi all!
Brand new to the forum, so thought I'd say hi!
Just picked up this 600 as winter hack/commuter to and from work as my regular bike is a bit on the loud side and wakes up half the planet when I start her up LOL
Generally I love my Honda Shadows, but this came up at the right price and job's a good'un!


It didn't manage to make it home from the nice chap I bought it from, so once I got this '92 with 16k miles on it back, I had to change out a knackered clutch, replace the chain and sprockets, clutch cable, and give a squirt of some Wynn's carb cleaner in the carbs.
She's still running a bit on the lumpy side, but getting better the more fresh fuel gets through there. I'll be changing the plugs tomorrow and the caps as well, the fuel filter probably needs replacing too so we'll see how she goes at the end of the week!
If you fancy seeing what the old clutch looked like when I took it apart...


I think that's what's left of the roller bearing at about 5 o'clock on the top pic
