I was looking at an 07 Honda Shadow Spirit C2 today and the tag on it was talking about it having "final shaft drive". But, I looked down and it has a chain.

My question is what is the difference between "shaft drive" and "final shaft drive"...if there is a difference at all.

thanks

They're the same thing. Just a way of phrasing it.

There are a couple of different Honda Shadow's likely someone just put the wrong tag on the bike.

I think the VLX600's might be shaft driven....but I could be wrong.

that's probably it... they do have alot in a row so, I'm sure they just put the wrong tag on it.

thanks

the 600 and 750 shadows are chain driven, the 1100's are shaft

According to the Honda website,

http://powersports.honda.com/motorcycle ... d=VT750C27

The 07 Shadow VT750C2 is shaft drive.

If you check, the Shadow Spirit VT750DC is chain Driven.

So the tags or model # on the tag was wrong.

A little confusing as both bikes share a Model name.

Heh heh. Unless they're trying to give you the shaft.

The Shadow 750 Aero has been shaft drive since 04.

The very first Shadow 750s were shafties in '83. Since then, Honda hasn't been able to make up their minds.

yeah, i should know because it's out in the garage right now, shaft driven is C2, chain driven is DC. Love mine
