The Shadow Spirit is a cruiser taking its styling cues from classic choppers of old. A pullback handlebar, bobbed rear fender, cruiser footpegs and a powerful V-twin engine make this as fun to stare at as it is to ride.

Features & Benefits

New for 2006

Bright Blue Metallic color joins classic Black. Engine/Drivetrain

The Shadow(R) Spirit’s offset-dual-crankpin smooth-running 1099cc 45o V-twin engine pumps out massive low-end and mid-range power. The engine’s broad power delivery and five-speed transmission offer exceptional rideability around town and on the open road. Three-valve cylinder-head design utilizes two spark plugs per cylinder for efficient combustion and high power output at all rpm. High-capacity nine-plate clutch with cable operation. Maintenance-free hydraulic valve-lash adjusters make routine valve adjustments a thing of the past. Other maintenance-free features include digital ignition and automatic cam-chain tensioners. Dual 36mm constant-velocity carburetors offer crisp throttle response at all rpm. Reliable electric-starter system. Shaft final-drive system provides smooth, virtually maintenance-free operation.

Chassis/Suspension

Specially designed steel frame gives the Shadow Spirit a long, low custom stance. Large 41mm extended front fork provides 6.3 inches of plush yet responsive travel. Dual chromed shocks feature an advanced internal valve system for a comfortable ride. Large-diameter front disc brake with twin-piston caliper combined with a heavy-duty drum rear brake provides excellent stopping power. Strong and lightweight five-spoke cast alloy wheels. Massive 170/80-15 rear tire offers a wide footprint and a radical custom look. Relaxed, comfortable riding position results from a long, low chassis and low 28.7-inch seat height.

After 1 year of ownership still enjoy riding this bike. Plenty of power for 2-up riding and excellent power and handling riding solo. Probably one of the best bangs for the buck is its class. Absolutely no issues with it the first 8000 miles.
