How custom can a Shadow be?

[stevenf]

Im lookin for a first bike and I am almost certain it will be a Honda shadow based on price and looks. However, I do prefer the way some look over others. Here is a picture I got off of ebay to give you an idea on the kind of bike im looking for. Very few Shadows look like this but I want mine to. Whats so different about this one other then the handle bars? What all has been changed?

Right off the bat I see the exhaust and rear fender have been changed out.

You think exhast, rear fender, and handle bars are enough to completely transform the style of bike it is stock?

It's really up to the owner of a bike to determine what's enough. Some people leave their bikes nearly stock while others may spend more than what they paid for the bike on accessories and upgrades.

You're looking at a Honda Shadow Spirit. I'm a fan of those bikes too, but other than the exhaust and *maybe* the handlebars I believe most of that is stock.

Nice bike.
