OVERVIEW
Taking its styling cues straight from classic cruisers of old, the Shadow Spirit boasts a seamless blend of retro panache and modern-day performance. With its bobbed rear fender, pullback handlebar and low seat complementing classic 2-into-2 "shorty" pipes and a beefy 1099cc V-twin, the Spirit is a beauty unlike few others.
