Pair of "Aces"... - Honda Shadow Forums : Shadow Motorcycle Forum

Brockly · 10-17-2011, 10:37 PM

I didn't want to hijack "Aced It"'s thread so I made a new one...

I copied a great deal from "Aced-It" and then changed a few things to make it my own. It's still in progress, so I'll update from time to time. (I'm not nearly as quick as Aced is though.

"Before" pic...

"After", pic's...

The exhaust is electrical conduit drilled to look like machine gun barrels:

Cheap and sounds awesome!
So far I've spent around $200 including the forward controls. Thanks to Aced-It's awesomely delicious thread I didn't have to experiment with different ideas. I love this forum!

That exhaust is freakin' legit. What kind? Where did u pick that bad boy up? That's the style I've been looking for.

Looks great!
The pipes look like twin air cooled machine gun barrels, like you are toting some twin Ma Deuces!

Wow, first off I'm completely flattered that I've been recognized as your inspiration! Thanks! Second, I was wondering what the lamps and tank pod would look like blacked out ... looks great! Finally and again, the pipes are bad-a$$; really fine job there young Danielson. I think the peanut gallery is calling for a detailed how-to? Get to it before the madness!

I also think it's appropriate timing for a man-hug? Yeeaaaaahhhhh, maybe not.

Well first off - no need for a man-hug. But thanks anyway!

The pipes are much simpler than they look. I just took the stock 2-into-1 muffler and cut off the big chrome muffler part, then welded 2 smaller pipes onto that and the larger ones with holes in them to the outside. My kids thought it would be cool to make it look like a machine gun so that's what I was after. Sorry I didn't do a step-by-step photo job but I just don't have the patience for that. Besides I was half thinking I was just screwing the whole thing up!

Here's a video of how they sound. Hard to tell from the video, but they are quite a bit louder than stock, though a little quieter than my buddies' Cobras:

Thanks for all the positive feedback!
