I have a shadow vlx. To make it more comfortable it needs 3 things.

1. better seat
2. smaller rear sprocket (helps remove vibration above 60mph)
3. better grips (helps remove vibration)

Its a great little bike around town. Long rides on the hi-way can wear you down tho. The 60mpg+ is nice.

I just recently sold my 05 Shadow VLX. I rode it for two months and loved it.
But, as said, the highway commutes beat me up at 65+mph. My present ride is a Suzuki C50. Enjoy your new ride, they are a great bike for tooling around!
