i would say a medium you dont want to go to large because of hip rock and being able to resist the pedels if you ride true fix!

I ride a 56cm/57cm bike, and I got the large which was perfect. Go for a large!

Medium should do it. I have the large on a v star motrocycle 250 and it is more than I need.

You definitely want the tightest fit possible. Anything too "loose" means that the cover can blow off in the wind or other issues. The Dowco website apparently includes typical configurations of bikes. I would call them, and they can advise you to stick with large or go XL. The website said L for my bike, but owners who discussed covers for my bike said that the XL was a better fit, because I had a top case. I can tell it's a bit loose, but it does the job. If Dowco says get the L, and you call them and they get the large, and a search of the Honda Shadow forums say get the large, I think you're safe. And even if the fit is wrong, either Dowco or Amazon will exchange.

Im about 5'11 - 6 foot and have a 31- 32 inseam and I ride the 58cm frame. This bike is almost perfect for me but I would get a 57 if I could because the 58 seems a bit tall at times but after I got used to it, its perfect for me. I say if your legs are somewhat long/average, I would go up but I've also road a 54.5 that didn't seem too small (it was an expensive Fuji and Ive read that they are sized large) but then again, the seat was really high. If you go down, with the 54, you'll save weight but it might feel a tad too small and your seat might be a little higher than you like...It depends what you want. Personally, I would go up.

Size runs a bit small so whatever they recommend you should go with the next size. I'm pretty sure I got a medium and it just fits so a large should be good for you.Mine is a honda 750 aero with windshield, luggage rack and backrest.

what i do is.... go to a bike shop, try it on. Then decide on size. You will love this pack!

Hi Charles, It looks like Dowco recommends a size XL for your bike. Thanks for asking, Greg On and Offroad Parts 888-630-6696

Richard, I own both a large and a medium, I'm 5/10 and 185 and I find the large a bit baggy. The medium fits fine. Given that your frame is larger than mine I would suggest the LARGE. I think the large would fit correctly. Those I run with have tried the "beefier" style and have not been happy with how sloppy it fit as their mileage climbed through the summer. They went back to the elite cut and were very happy.

There stuff fits to size and usually snug like cycling gear should. So if you don't like the snug fit I would opt for 1 size larger. Good stuff though and I love their gear. Hope this helps.

I have one on a Honda Metropolitan (49cc) and ordered a medium. It fits perfect-there's not much wiggle room. Since that's a bigger bike, I'd recommend at least a large. Definitely a high quality cover so if there's one that fits the bike, I highly recommend.

Sorry Carlos. I can't answer specific measurement questions. I would guide you by saying that if you normally wear a size large, then go a size smaller with a medium.

Sorry for the late response. I would think the xl would be more than enough, but not 100% certain. the folks at Dowco are very helpfull at answering these questions. They helped with selecting the size for my bike. I've got the VT1100 with windshield, saddlebags, sissy bar and freeway bars, the large fits it well.

Definitely larger size than medium!I'm 66 inches and 140 pounds. My medium fits a bit snug.Get the right size and you'll be happy... it's a nice jacket.

I'd suggest medium. My Yamaha scooter is 400 cc so its substantially larger.

While it's partially a matter of preference, the chart below should help. I'm 5'8" and ride a 154 cm. http://bicycling.about.com/od/howtoride/a/bike_sizing.htm
