I bought a 95 Shadow VLX on Life Support.. My entire family watched me slave endless nights trying to figure out how to bring it back to life..
I'd considered TJ Brutal Customs day by day but my stubborn ass thought i could do it for cheap with an amazon rebuild kit... yeah no.. it did not work.
and im stupid for trying it..
I later said F*** it and bought this Kit along with the Velocity Stacks and my bike is purring and talks to, and treats me better than my fiance.
I can now hit 85-90MPH on Highway. before i got this kit i was stuck at 40
Buy this you cheap bastard. and have fun!
Got my rebuild kit after the old float needle kicked the bucket and started hydrolocking the engine everytime I parked the bike. The gremlin who had my bargain bin facebook marketplace 750 before I did removed the air filter material (literally stripped the paper out of the air filter and put the metal cage back in?), slapped on some drag pipes and called it a day. A proper re-jet has made this bike run like it should, and it sounds amazing now. No more sluggish throttling and bogging/backfiring. Also, the TJBC customer service people are awesome, and helped me out with a new mix screw after my O-ring and washer did a sweet backflip into the void immediately upon me opening the bag (pew). Shipping was quick, the product works, and the customer service was solid. 5/5, and well worth the extra bucks for a quality rebuild kit. Just waiting on the stacks so I can fully take the airbox off.
I had an idiot friend who is a mEcHaNiC. I got to store my bike at his house because I live in the ghetto. Went to go ride one day and carb was half way out in my bike and leaking fuel everywhere. I think the autism got the better of my former friend and he needed to tinker like a crackhead. Long story short. He won't admit to breaking my shit. So thankfully I found TJ Brutal on YouTube during the lockdown of 2020 and already knew what to do. GET A TACH METER CHODES. It'll change your life.
Ordered the dual carb kit for my 94 VT600, came with everything I need to get tuning, quality is excellent and gives me the peace of mind that these parts are tried and trusted for this bike.
Don’t waste your time trying to buy one piece you think you need in order to save yourself money. Especially the float bowl gaskets, I personally bought All Balls and another brand and their gaskets wouldn’t fit right. These in this kit fit perfectly and were also thicker. Definitely should be the first thing you buy when you get a used vt600/750.
