Originally an owner of a Honda Shadow 600, we moved to the new 700 Deauville. The ride deisgn of this bike is not suited to my height ..5ft 8 and 30 inch inside leg. We decided to go back to cruisers and bought a 2007 750 C2 Shadow Spirit.
My wife and I love the looks, the driver ride comfort, the economy and everything else about the bike......BUT....that gunfighter saddle..an absolute dissaster.................. After only 10 miles my wife is moving around trying to get comfortable. As she is only 4ft 10 and weighs just 45 kilos, she is hardly overweight.
We have had to purchase a Dual Tour saddle from the States as nothing else is available here in the UK.
Honda....it may look sexy but there the resemblence ends..that saddle is an ergonomic dissater...It ruins one of you best bikes ever.

We had the 1100 Shadow until a few weeks ago and that wasn't the most comfortable ride as pillion either. What was wrong with the height. Are you too tall for it? Fionaxx
