v/h propipe on a 96 1100 A.C.E.? It is possible
I had been looking to put a Vance & Hines Propipe Hs on my 96 ace, because I love the look of a 2 into 1. The kit on the market is for a 2000-2007 Sabre 1100. After lots of looking at pictures and looking at my bike, I could see that they would fit my bike, but that the rear brake pedal would be an issue, as newer sabre's have really forward controls. I bought the propipe, and found 2 used rear brake pedals on ebay. The breke lever had to be lengthened 2" to clear the front headpipe, but EVERYTHING else in the kit fits on the earlier bikes. I did my own measuring and cutting of the brake levers, and hired a mobile welder to do the welding and final grinding. It is an AWESOME pipe, and with a little work it can be put on earlier spirits-aces. I am in Arizona, and so far it has not had a lack of power with stock jetting. I intend to re-jet before summer, though. I am going to put more pix on my garage page.
