Here is my 2006 Honda VT600 VLX custom touring bike. I fabricated brackets to mount a Craig Vetter Windjammer 4 fairing with matching bags and trunk. I'm too old and cripple to ride these new modern small cars on two wheels Touring Bikes have become. The fairing, bags, and trunk were popular in the 1970's and it's still a better design than what is on modern factory built touring bikes. The seat on my Shadow is low so getting my leg over it is no problem and the bike's weight is low as well. No one builds anything like it today.

Totally love the originality of your bike. I would be proud to take it anywhere. Awesome work. 👌 As far as horns go, I hooked up an old car alarm in with the original horns on 1of my motorcycles, it definitely gets people's attention when I honk it.

I'm in the process of getting an old 2003 Honda VT600C roadworthy again (my very first "project bike") and I love the idea of equipping it as a "Shadow Wing!" Does yours have any trouble maintaining Interstate highway speeds comfortably, with a bit of power to spare for passing, etc.? Also, do you know the specific models of the fairing and cases you installed? I'd hate to order parts that didn't quite fit by mistake. Thanks!

Have you changed the sprocket size on your shadow? Also I want to slowly set my shadow600 up for semi touring, any suggestions on what to do first?

How does that ride with a passenger?...love my lil sporty bob for cruising round town, being obnoxious, but thinking of doing something a little more passenger/roadtrip worthy
