Do You own a Kit...???
Motor Trike usually keep pretty tight hold on those install manuals but if there is one out there I bet one of our members knows about it. Good Luck with your venture !! :xszpv::xszpv:

in doing research here ive also dicovered it has the older style drive shaft should i buy the newer type before i have it installed?
I'm not smart at all on the kit you would have but I'm not too sure the new version driveshaft for GL1500/1800s is for yours or not. Call: 1-800-908-7453 (Motor Trike Factory, Troupe, TX) and ask to speak with Richard Purdy. It probably won't do you a bit of good but tell him Jerry from San Angelo suggested you call. He will know about the drive shaft. You might also explain your situation with you and that kit you have. Since there would not be any warranty issue he just might be able to help. I don't know their police but the worst he could say is NO..
Good luck with the project. OH, and keep us updated.. PICTURES !!
Remember.. :xszpv: :xszpv:

Love the Paint Job & Scheme :clapping:
Nicely done ThumbUp
On the Bike side, have you done any Mods to the Air-Fuel-Exhaust Systems?
Can give those a little more Oomph by Jetting (stage 2 or 3), Hyper Charger and K&N, and going with V&H Long Shots with BCT Baffles.
Of course it will lower your MPG by another 4-5 as well but for a Trike on a Bike with @ 38-39 stock HP, another 5-6 Horse makes a difference on the plus side.

70-80.... She musta been wound up & out. How many RPMs ya turning at those speeds?
Jet Kits are around $50 and the Hyper Charger or similar Air Intake Mod around $125-150.
Labor to Jet usually around 1.5-2 hrs and maybe 1.25 for the Air Intake install.
But having owned a 2 wheel 2008 Shadow Spirit (about 43-44 stock HP) , the added HP would make a great and noticeable difference as a Trike. Gotta figure the 04's at around 38 HP with a bump of 5 would be a 13% increase. Pushing what, about 760 lbs wet with the Trike?? That's a 5% Power to Weight Ratio. Then again, the Mods would only take that to around 5.7%. May not be worth it on a Trike.
My bad. sorry for the Aside.
Do dig that Paint for sure!
Enjoy and all the best to you and your "Monster" ThumbUp

Honda 750 motor trike install manual
Hi, I'm new to forum but if ya check, there is no install manual for 750 honda shadow. the mechanic at the dealership used the 1300 install manual. motor trike used to weld the 750 together. I had this issue myself. The maintenance manual is the same for all (I think). motor trike has just started letting dealers assemble the 750. or so I'm told. I had a real problem with this. I hope I'm not off base with this reply.
