You can try one of several web sites that sell parts and accessories for motorcycles, but finding custom exhaust and performance parts for a 30-year-old Honda may be a hard task. I suggest you start by using Google or Bing and doing an Internet search for motorcycle parts.
For a 30 year. Old Honda you should search the Shadow Forums online.
Another source for good info is YA Main Contrib. Guardrailjim (see his email) he is a Honda guy with the most info.
BAM!
The VLX was not designed as a performance motor. It is possible to tune it but you will spend a whole bunch of money for very little gain (if any) and will screw up the Honda goodness that makes these bikes such reliable little run-arounds. You could probably find louder pipes if you want to sound bad-*** but it won't make you any faster.
To answer your question, an upgrade is available from your nearest local dealer. It's called a faster bike.
Sorry. Your bike is to old for aftermarket companies to continue making upgrade kits.
If you do find anything, the performance of the upgrades will be insignificant.
Cosmetic upgrades may still be available because Honda didn't make enough changes over the years which would make accessories universal.

- 95 honda shadow vlx600 electrical problems? So I took it out for a ride this morning and it starts up fine, shifts fine, accelerates and does everything it's supposed to. I always have it on a trickle charger when not riding. Tested the battery after the incident and it came out to be 12.6 off the bike. I rode it for about 10 minutes, I started to pull into the parking lot and it completely shuts down on me, no lights, no dash, no power no nothing. Any suggestions? I was told it could possibly be the ignition switch?
