    Fakirone, the helmet is an XL. I would gladly sell it as it's like new (I don't wear it anymore). Let me know ... PM me.

    Hi, I know that this is random and you don't know me from Adam, but I was wondering if you could help me out. I was searching online and came across your posts regarding the Outlaw helmet and that you are not using yours. I have an Outlaw that is too big for me, but is the ONLY helmet that I have ever found to fit my head shape. I currently wear a bandana under mine to keep it snug.
    So, questions are, A. What size is your Outlaw, and B. Any chance you would sell it to me?
    You may think that I am crazy, but I am on a mission to get another one and I thought maybe you might help me out.

    Thank you for your time.

    Birshking, the white walls are not "rattle can". They are rolled on using the Elastomeric roofing paint, just to be clear. But yes, they are holding up with no issues other than graying a bit in color, on the newer Bridgestones. On the Dunlops, it was more of a yellowing. No worries; creates a nice worn in look. ;) Preparation is everything.

    hi i need some help on my bike and i wanted to post a thread but cant since im a new member i think. but if you could help me id greatly appreciate it.

    a brief description of my problem:
    i noticed that my bike was not running right. ran a compression test on the #1 cyclinder and noticed i was running at like 90 psi. took the engine out and changed the head gasket and piston ring. poured new oil and it brought my compression back to 120 on just the starter. but not the bike wont fire up. i removed and replaced all the spark plugs and have seen it arc.
    thats basically where i am at with the bike. im checking the timing but do you have any other suggestions?
    it is a 2000 honda shadow spirit 1100vt

    Thanks to your posts, I know I have to purchase an electronic flash relay and diodes for the front signals. What do I need to convert the rear signals into running/brake/turn lights with these dual color LED lights? What kind of flasher, diodes, etc. do I need to buy to be able to connect and handle the front and rear LED turn signals, side mirrors w/LED turn signals, integrated LED tail light w/turn signals, and the electropods flashing brake lights?

    Thanks in advance for your help. So sorry for having to split this message up into 4....

    Hi there,
    You really look like you know what you're talking about. I tried creating a new thread, but apparently I can't do that yet, as I just joined this site today... In any case, I am hoping you could help me, or at least point me in the right direction. I am new to motorcycle riding, new to Honda Shadows, and obviously new to modding of any kind. I recently purchased a 2003 Honda Shadow ACE, and have since purchased a few items on eBay which I'd like to install. I am unsure, however, of what I need to do this.

    Apparently this message was too long, so I am splitting it up into 2...

    Hey Ace, had a question about the switches you used to relocate the blinker/headlight functions. Do you remember the brand name or anything about them? I found a few I think will work but at only 5A@125vAC and 6A@125vAC, I'm afraid they'll burn up before I get to use them.

    First off, I've been reading your Road to Rod posts and I have to say that your bike is inspirational. I've got a 2012 Phantom that I was looking to do some customizing to, and plan on taking some lessons from your posts to achieve the desired effect. But I did have a few questions : For the elastimetric WWWs, how long did they actually last before you needed to redo them (same question, but for the plasti-dip wheels)? When you did your intake with the Edelbrock screen, I kinda understood what you did but I'm more of a visual learner and had difficulty following the thread. Do you have a picture tutorial on how you went about the intake transformation? Finally, for the new addition of the accent lights, the installation is relatively simple (connect wires and switch to battery terminal, attach lights in desired location, enjoy) or was there more than meets the eye? Thank you in advance for any insight that you're willing to share, and Merry Christmas

    It appears that this guy makes a habit of getting tickets according to his last psots. Also sounds like he is fill of crap about how he gets out of them

    I've been following your build on 750ace.com and I just stumbled across some pics in the gallery here too. Just wondering if after your build you had any parts that you are looking to "get rid of". Hit me up if you have a list.
