Honda Shadow Finned Carb Tops
Honda Shadow Finned Radiator Cap Cover | CNC 6061 Aluminum (Small-Cap Style)
Give your Honda Shadow the old-school finned look it deserves instead of a boring plastic cap. This finned radiator cap cover is CNC machined from 6061 aluminum, built for riders who actually care how their motor looks when they roll up.
It cleans up the front of the engine and ties in perfectly with other finned accessories on your bobber, chopper, or custom metric cruiser.
Key Features:
- Finned radiator cap cover for Honda Shadow and other metric cruisers
- CNC machined from solid 6061 aluminum for a true billet feel
- Designed for the smaller style radiator cap used on later Shadow models
- Set-screw installation for a secure, rattle-free fit
- Perfect match for other finned engine dress-up parts and accessories
Fitment (Small-Cap Style):
- Honda Shadow VLX 600 (select years using the smaller radiator cap)

If you’re unsure whether your bike uses the small or large radiator cap, check the cap size and neck style before ordering, or plan a cap/neck swap to the newer small-cap design for this cover.
FAQ:
- Q: What year did Honda Shadow radiator caps change size? A: Honda transitioned from the larger automotive-style cap to a smaller, more compact cap style around the early 2000s, which is why some 600/750/1100 Shadows take this small-cap cover while older models do not.
- Q: Will this fit my 1990s Shadow with the big radiator cap? A: Not directly. This cover is built for the smaller style radiator cap. If your Shadow still runs the older large cap, you’ll need to swap to a small-cap neck and cap before this cover will fit correctly.
- Q: How does the set-screw install work? A: The cover slides over your existing small radiator cap and tightens in place with a set screw, locking it securely so it won’t spin or rattle while riding.
- Q: Is this plastic or chrome-plated? A: No plastic here. This cap cover is CNC machined from 6061 aluminum, giving it real weight, durability, and a finish you can polish, bead blast, or coat to match your build.
- Q: Is this just cosmetic, or does it affect cooling? A: This is a cosmetic dress-up part. Your actual radiator cap underneath still does all the pressure and cooling work—the cover just makes it look like it belongs on a custom chopper instead of a stock commuter.
Proudly conceived in the garage culture of Lake Worth, FL, this Honda Shadow finned radiator cap cover is the kind of small, smart upgrade that separates a catalog build from a real custom.
