01 Shadow ace 750


  • About a year ago sister in-law gave me a Honda Shadow ace with 18k miles on it. Her spouse was a one percenter so they were deep into bikes. They got the Shadow for her to learn to ride then he got sick and passed away. The bike sat for around 9 years or so before I got it. The tank rusted so I lined it, put gas in it and tried to start it. The kickstand switch was dirty and wouldn't let the bike run. Luckily the carburetor leaked right on the switch and cleaned it out and then sealed itself and the bike ran. I learned how to move it around on the grass around my shop before I got brave and took it out on the road. Discovered that I really loved riding and so I got rid of the 17 and 18 year old tires took a class for the license and then the tank rusted through and started leaking. By this time I'm in too deep. So I ordered the max fuel kit,max performance kit, and bolt on solo seat. Now I am deep into a bobber project. Eventually I will post some pics when I get it together enough.



  • @Mr.P if that rusted tank is still in play, id be wary of whats vgetting into your carb right now messing with your tuning efforts. make sure youve got clean fuel, and.... that the fuel is flowing to your tank freely. a compromised fuel flow can cause a lot of issues!
