I bought this 1986 Honda Shadow VT700 a few months ago. It had been sitting for about the last three years unused. I turned it over to Dan O'Shea to bring it back to life. The carbs and tank were cleaned out, it got a new battery AND a new set of Dunlop tires. I rode it up and down the street a few times and this bike is just right. It has just 4,275 original miles on it and its just as pretty in person as it looks in the pictures. As good as it looks, it actually needs to be professionally detailed - and then it would be very close to showroom condition. If you're looking for a classic Shadow/Magna, look no further. If you're looking for a bargain, keep looking! It's very important that your read all of the following:
BIKE SALES This bike is for pickup only in Barrington, NJ zip 08007 which is close to Philadelphia, PA and exit 3 of the NJ Turnpike. To guard against scammers and other problem bidders, here’s how I handle all bike purchases: A non-refundable $100 deposit will be paid within 24 hours of the end of the sale. If that is not received, the bike will immediately be offered to the 2nd bidder or re-sold as I see fit. The balance due is to be paid by CASH IN HAND or BANK MONEY ORDER WITHIN 10 DAYS of the end of the auction. Your bank money order must clear my account before the bike is released. The bike itself is to be picked up within 15 days of auctions end unless I agree to another arrangement. The point is; if you buy a bike here please be ready to pay for it and pick it up – or get it picked up - in short order. I will not arrange shipping; however I will work with your shipper by making myself available with 48 hours notice. I reserve the right to cancel any bid with less than 10 purchases or negative feedback at my discretion – if you have either please email me before bidding. BY PRESSING THE ‘BID NOW’ BUTTON YOU INDICATE YOUR AGREEMENT WITH ALL THIS FINE PRINT. The number of successful sales I’ve transacted on eBay, along with my 100% Satisfaction rating – speaks for itself.
PARTS SALES Please check the Description and photos for information on the year and model of bike the part was removed from. I rarely have cross-reference information so I’m unlikely to know if this particular part will fit on a different year/model bike. I don’t want to mislead you, so I suggest that you use your own internet resources before bidding. I do not guarantee the functionality of any part (used or NOS) that is 20+ years old; I will describe its condition as best I can. I think it very reasonable to expect payment within a week of auction’s end. I accept PayPal OR US Postal Money Orders for domestic parts sales however you need to email me if you’re sending a USPS money order and send it promptly. I accept ONLY PayPal for international parts sales. I reserve the right to cancel any bid with less than 10 purchases or any negative feedback at my discretion. If you have less than 10 purchases please contact me before bidding. I do not ship daily so please be aware that I allow 3 business days from auctions end on the shipping of parts. I ship all parts by USPS Parcel Post which advertises 2 to 9 days shipping time depending on your location. I generally offer Insurance against lost or damage to your shipped item, and I always recommend Insurance as I do not personally guarantee shipping. If I send you an invoice without Insurance offered – and your want your shipped item(s) insured, email me and I’ll invoice you separately. I do my best to pack shipped items appropriately – and I’ve never had an item arrived damaged - and have received positive feedback on this from hundreds of satisfied customers. I would invite you to take the time to read my feedback. BY PRESSING THE ‘BID NOW’ BUTTON YOU INDICATE YOUR AGREEMENT WITH ALL THIS FINE PRINT.
