Modification of Honda Shadow VT750 Chain Drive to Shaft Drive

 I have my eye on a Shadow 750 with chain drive.  I know that the Aero, for
example, has shaft drive.  Is it mechanically possible (and easy) to modify
a chain drive to a shaft drive when other nearly identical bikes from the
same manufacturer have shaft drive?

Thanks.

Yes.  Practically anything is mechanically possible.  


Of course not.

And you left out:


All you have to do is jack up the paint and roll a shaft drive bike under it,
and let it back down.

    That's a pretty funny mental image :-)

Possible, definitely. But talk to the manufacturer of the models in
question to find out how much modification is required. I have a
moderately well appointed machine shop, and I don't think I'd try
this.
