Shadow ACE with Biltwell Chumps - Honda Shadow Forums : Shadow Motorcycle Forum

I changed my stock bars to Chumps on my 2003 A.C.E. I am no mechanic, but it was surprisingly easy. Stock cables fit perfectly (I know there is some confusion about that on some forums.) All I had to do was grind down those little nubs that everyone talks about. Used a drill with a grinder bit, took all of minutes each. BTW, after tightening the equipment back up without the nubs, nothing is going to move at all (I know people ask about that too.)

Next project-- solo seat!

And here are some pix...

Oh yeah-- I absolutely hated those Kuryakn iso-grips that the bike came with when i bought it. I couldn't wait to get rid of them.
