Honda Shadow 1100 Ace Tourer

Dirty Girl. She fits me perfectly. It sits pretty high, for my long legs, but I shaved off the seat about 1 1/2 inches so that I could bend my knees more to push her up a slight incline when I park her facing outward in my garage. Custom seats are buffalo hyde and cow hyde to match her paint job. Tank was washed out, re- carb jetted. I've added floor boards, Vance & Hines pipes, messed with the baffles to make her louder, added crash bars and freeway pegs. I put a mount on the handle bars to hold a GPS. She is comfortable on long rides, too. Low miles when I got her because the previous owner stored her for 10 years. She is well taken care of; spoiled! We meld into each other when we ride.
