About the Honda VT700
A Shadow 700 comparison for carburetor rebuilding, hydraulic clutch release and fork sealing.
Use this collection to connect a VT700 search with the full VT700C Shadow designation. The featured carburetor kit lists VT700C 1987; the hydraulic clutch slave-cylinder kit lists VT700C 1984–1987. The fork-seal application is recorded as VT700 1984–1987. Keep those labels and years beside each part rather than treating them as one blanket range.
Identify the clutch component before choosing a kit
The slave cylinder is part of the hydraulic release system. A repair there differs from replacing the handlebar master cylinder or internal clutch plates. Match the location and fitted assembly before ordering. Continue to VT700C Shadow parts for the complete-model repair guide.

VT700C, 1987
Carburetor rebuild kit
The featured kit establishes 1987 coverage. Compare the fitted carburetors and supplied components. Earlier Shadow 700 carburetors need a separately confirmed application.
VT700C, 1984–1987
Hydraulic clutch slave-cylinder kit
Identify the release slave cylinder and inspect its sealing surfaces. This kit is separate from the handlebar master cylinder and the internal plate stack.
VT700, 1984–1987
39 × 52 × 11 mm fork oil seals
Compare all three dimensions and the seal profile. If the forks have been replaced, identify the donor front end independently of the tank badge.

Keep displacement and full model
A shared Shadow name or combined service manual does not make every engine or carburetor part interchangeable. Use an explicit application for the component and year.
Identify your motorcycle before orderingVT700 identification checklist
- Check the full Honda model designation, year and market documentation.
- Record frame identification and engine markings independently if the motorcycle has been rebuilt.
- Read the carburetor body marking before selecting a carb kit; identify any replacement fork or clutch assembly.
