presentation of the VT 750 DC Black Widow 2001
Designed around the idea of "longer and lower", the VT 750 DC Black Widow offers a stretched riding position that places the rider lower on the saddle than in any other mass-produced grand custom to date. Its short handlebars and rebellious two-tier seat surround a muscular fuel tank to create an incomparable riding position meant to give a unique feeling of being one with the machine rather than simply riding it. A large, radiused 19" front wheel and low rear fender accentuate the machine's ground-level appearance. Unfortunately, its aggressive look doesn't extend into the bowels of the twin, which is too discreet. This black widow may sting, but her venom is too diluted.

I've got a Shad 750 C2 from 2001, I think we must have the same engine. Personally, I don't have the headlight housing
Otherwise I'm also on the V2 Honda forum, where there are lots of great twin-cylinder enthusiasts like you
