@NOLA.
My cousin Ray, the one with the Road Star, had a Shadow 750. It had every aftermarket accessory you could think of on it!
My Uncle John has one too, his is purple. He calls it The Grape Ape, lol! His son Zach had a Shadow 600 up until about a month ago, when he traded it for a down payment on a truck.
They're good bikes!

I forgot, a buddy of mine also had a Shadow 750 (with a ton of miles on it and still ran great), and my uncle David had a Shadow 1100 that was also very nice.
These are some fine motorcycles. Sorry, no pictures, and I haven't ridden in over 30 years. Mine were a 1964 Norton 750 Scrambler, new, Ducati 250 road racer 1965 I think, 2 early sixties R69s BMWs, 1968 R50, 1970 or 71 BMW R75, Yamaha 400 2 stroke, Yamaha 1100 the first year, 1978, BMW R100, 1978 bought new in 1980.
Dang Foggy! That is quite the collection. My uncle had a lot of Triumphs in the late 60's and used to do a LOT of flat track racing over in Eastern WA.
Is that Yamaha 400 one of the infamous early 70's ones that people called widowmakers?
Lol
And thanks, Pete! Your bike is awesome too. I love the lights!!
I am working with the Fiance to get an electra for longer trips, or maybe a Springer for her so we can ride separate but carry enough luggage for her for over night! lol :rofl:

@wyfbane.
If you've never ridden, or owned an Electra Glide, you owe it to yourself to give one a try! They are by far the most comfortable bikes I've ever ridden! (And yes, I have ridden a Goldwing)
And for such big bikes, they handle very well.
