03 Shadow Sputters and Dies?

I have an '03 Honda Shadow Spirit that began stalling on me. It was working fine, and then i took it for a ride and it sputtered and died on me while riding. We managed to get it home by keeping the throttle up kind of high. Is this a clogged fuel filter issue? Also, when we opened it up, it looked like there were 2 fuel filters. Has anyone heard of 2 filters on these bikes? Any help would be appreciated. I need to sell the bike.

It could be a clogged air filter

There's tons of things it could be. Have you did any maintenance on it recently? If so. Double check everything you did. It sounds like a fuel delivery issue, but that's just a guess. Is the petcock on the side open all the way? If so, pull the fuel line and see if fuel flows easily out. There's a screen in the petcock that can easily get partially clogged. There's one fuel filter. It's fairly easy to find under the seat right before the fuel pump. Follow the fuel lines from the tank and you'll see it.
How is your gas? Add any additive recently? If so, drain the fuel, add fresh.

It is well known that the higher the RPM the more fuel is used. So you would think if the fuel filter was that clogged up it would idle but not run at a high RPM which I believe you said it had to be kept at to get home. That would go for air filters also. Now if there's a blockage in the carb idle jets that might do it.

Your statement - "We managed to get it home by keeping the throttle up kind of high." Is a symptom of carburetor problems, not fuel delivery problems.
If the fuel filter was clogged, the engine would starve for fuel at higher RPMs.
Your problem is either a clogged jet, or slide diaphragms leaking.
The pilot jets are used in the idle and slow speed circuits.
The opening in the pilot jet is as thin as a pin head and gets easily clogged with bad gas.
Take the carbs apart and clean the jets.

Symptoms could also be from electrical problems.
