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.

SUSPENSION

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.
