About the Honda VT750CDA Shadow ACE Deluxe
For the CDA, match the fuel valve to the tank and the intake holders to the carburetor joints.
Use the CDA code with the tank and intake details
The Honda 2003 catalog lists CDA3 as the black NH1 ACE Deluxe and CDB3 separately in red. The code on the original documents matters more than replacement paint. CDA, CDB and DCA are different catalog labels; the DCA guide covers the separate Shadow Spirit application.
Match the fuel valve and intake holders separately
The petcock controls fuel leaving the tank; the holder set joins the carburetor and engine. A fuel leak or running complaint alone does not select one of these parts. Compare the fitted assembly and the specific reference in the table after identifying the repair needed.

Identify your motorcycle before orderingVT750CDA identification checklist
- Record CDA, year and original market; use the DCA collection only when the letters appear in that order on the documents.
- For tank and intake parts, photograph the valve attachment/outlet and both sides of the installed holders; confirm set quantity.
- For the cooling switch, record reference, connector and mounting thread after identifying the fan-control component.
