Okay I bought a 1995 Honda Shadow Spirit with 15,000 actual miles from a gentleman. He says its sat for the last several years in the shop due to the above problem. The carbs have been drained and it will run but within 5 min of starting it the one pipe gets so hot you can see thru it.He changed the head gasket, had the fuel mixture checked, the electrical system ect. I think it has a crack in a jug sucking air but no proof. I paid $685.00 for the bike as is and need to know if anyone else has had a simular problem or can help me out with this one.
