WELCOME!!!


I'm sure there will be a group here that will be interested.  If I remember correctly, the "f" model tail started in '01 or '02.  Hopefully someone can correct this info...

Hey thank's for the comment's guys.....The whole peice is made of fiber glass and the outer trim has a rubber lip to prevent any rubbing on the finish.       To the next question there is a lip that fits under the seat  to prevent it from moving unless you take the seat off first....This thing fits like a glove...Thank's guys and i will follow up with any questions any of you might have.

Get pictures up...


Would they be pre-painted...or would that be left up to the buyer?

Very cool. I want pictures. I already have one custom made by another member, but I want to see yours!

Hang out there, we may flame, but we don't hate.

My attitude is in serious need of readjustment, and I'm ok with that.

Thank's..... Pretty much you slide it on the seat and the lips lock it on.....so unless you unlock your seat and take it off it's not comin off

How about some pics where you can actually see the cowl ?  :icon_mrgreen: Its a bit far away to see how it looks  :thumb:

~ 98 Shadow ACE 750 ~ Black Straight Pipes ~ UNI Filter ~ Dyno Jet Stage 1 ~ Sissy Bar ~

the only thing i would do if i had this is remove the back handle or do something so it looks as if the tail and cowl are one piece but then again it may look that way but from far i cant tell. But looks good i have the same biek and same color so im very interested.

you could get the same look by adding colored vynal to the seat, and still be able to ride a passenger

but it does look nice.
