On my o6 roadstar 1700. The oil is getting sucked into the carb and smokes terribly. Not for real long though. It runs all the oil out real quick. Anyone have any ideas?
I hope I can help you brother. Crankcases have a breather tube and it expels exhaust gasses, those gases press themselves in between cylinder and piston. It makes the oil black and acid response on coal is not good for engine parts. The breather tube is mostly connected to the low pressure chamber below the air filter. Typically that is close to the air intake for the carburetor. Remove the air filter and its base plate and clean the compartment careful with dust free rags. I don't know of any technical details for this cruiser but there can be valves on front of the carb, small membranes that open on revelations and the known gas slides. Those must not be effected by sticky substances. Oil is not sticky but the intended functioning leaves a residue.
You need in any case, to check the oil level. Also the condition of the oil, so you made sure there is no gray foam from water contamination. Droplets on the dipstick, or on the inspection window glass, indicate fuel in the oil.
When the oil level is between Min and Max or low and it turns out to be pure, then I suspect you have a leaking piston ring or even a damaged piston side wall. I would not ride the bike far before you know certain. You also wouldn't want a sudden stop.The compression blows in hard and unnoticed, the slow sucking breather tube is then turned into a hose. After each ride the access spill can flow down the carb. Compression can be tested in a shop but turning the engine over without spark, may provide audible evidence when the compression is really low in one cylinder. I ones had an unnoticed broken piston ring, on a moped and that damaged the piston. Best of luck

What is the gap set and what is a recomend spark plug for a 05 shadow sabre 1100
Most modern spark plugs are already set to the correct gap when you buy them. Some plugs have special coatings on them that will break if you try to re-gap them damaging the plug and you'll have to replace them even though they are still new.
If you are in ANY doubt buy the spark plugs recommended by Honda. I would suggest you DON'T buy the really cheap Amazon ones as they are poor quality, don't lat very long and can cause problems because of that. Buy a full set from a well known brand like NGK, Champion, Bosch or Denso. It's basically all down to how much your prepared to pay for them. Always replace spark plugs as a full set.

To lose one pound per week how many calories do you need to subtract from your daily intake
That would depend entirely on how many calories your lifestyle, activity, metabolism, location, climate, ambient temperature and suchlike caused you to burn each day.
All those variables affect the amount of calories needed to maintain health. A man working in arctic conditions could need as much as 6000 calories each day but the same man working in the tropics would probably maintain good health with around 2200, less if he has a sedentary occupation.
It is not a precise science and in addition most diets include a number of useless calories. When dieting, incidentally, an obesity diet of 1000 calories per day or less should not be undertaken unless under medical supervision.

What can I tune to stop my 99 shadow 1100 from afterfiring
You mean the ignition is retarded and backfiring through the exhaust?
It might be ignition timing is a bit late,
It might be too rich mixture and unburned fuel is igniting.
Or the exhaust valve is sticking open a little sometimes.
All can be tested.
