Well,

I ended up bidding on a 98 Honda Shadow ACE 750  :dunno_white: it only has 5100 miles on it  :thumb: I rode my friends 98 ACE and one from the shop before  and I like them. I put about 300 miles on the one from the shop, it had dual backrests... I LOVED THAT THING! They feel a bit under powered but seem good on long rides. Plus I still have the project GS if I ever put it back together  :icon_mrgreen:

Anyway... Now I have to drive 490 Miles to CT to pick it up on Saturday and hope its everything it looked to be in the eBay ad  :thumb:


Any thoughts on the 98 Shadow ACE guys?
