Will The B&W Biker Bar BWMC2301 Work With A 1998 Honda Shadow?
Updated 02/03/2026 | Published 07/11/2024
Question:
I sent you a message earlier today. After watching your video for Biker Bar BWMC2301 it should work perfect on my Honda Shadow. The frame tube diameter is 1-1/4 and the width is about 12. The Honda Shadow ACE is the same size and dimensions as a Harley. Im going to be installing the Biker Bar in my enclosed 6 x 12 trailer. Its the perfect answer. Please reply back so I know you had a chance to look at this. Thanks, Pete

Hello Peter, thanks for reaching out. You are right that the B&W Biker Bars are generally only used for Harleys. In the case of your 1998 Honda Shadow, the # BWMC2301 biker bar will work great since your bike has a 1-1/4" tube diameter and the frame is 12" wide.

Hey Peter, how did the Biker Bar setup go with your Honda Shadow in the enclosed trailer? It sounds like the fit should have been spot-on with your frame size. Sharing how it worked could help others looking to secure similar bikes.
