Do you want to wake up your stock sounding and performing Shadow? The first and easiest modifications you can make is to install a less restrictive & better sounding exhaust, along with a carburetor jet kit.

In this 1 hour and 30 minute long video, I take you through the process step by step on installing Vance & Hines Cruzer pipes and their stage one jet kit. Save yourself some money and do it yourself!

Symptoms

None. However, jetting is typically lean from the factory. Also, since we are changing the exhaust out, the jetting also needs to be altered to make sure it runs correctly. Finally, none of the aftermarket jet kits address the pilot circuit, so I went ahead and increased the pilot jet size as well.

Results

With new pipes and the carburetor properly jetted, the throttle response is much better and the engine seems to have gained some power.

Tools

Here is a list of tools used for this project. Note the phillips screws are actually JIS, and the fuel screw uses a “D” shaped tool. The “D” shaped tool that comes with the jet kit will work, however the bit allows you to use an extension and less chance of burning yourself. You can find everything below on Amazon.
