1999 Honda Shadow ACE
Owned by Michael Brose
This my first and present motorcycle. It is one of the most comfortable bikes I have been on and gets decent gas mileage. The price was $2800 with about 10k miles on it which was well worth it.
Of course I have modified little things on it. The most modified is the exhaust. Although it looks stock, I removed all but one of the baffles. It gave it a deeper tone and is louder in general. Other than that, I have a 38 tooth rear sprocket, forward extensions, windshield, Leather Lyke saddle bags, and a Mustang driver/passenger seat. I ride it as much as I can because it's so much fun and much better on gas.

New LED Lights
Posted on Oct 19, 2010
For the past two years or so, I have had fog lights next to my headlight. I usually never used them because of the terrible flood of light, so I ditched them. I still wanted lights of some sort and I've seen several bikes with small lights towards the bottom. So, a quick search on eBay yielded a seller with what I wanted.
I took some steel (hanger strap basically) from my MG to use as my brackets for the lights. I cut two pieces out making sure there were three holes in each. I bored out the two furthest holes a bit, rounded the corners, and mounted them where my pegs mount to my forward extensions.
The results can be seen below. They do not add much light for me, but make the bike more visible and seem wider which is a great result. These particular lights have 18 LEDs and 6 LEDs facing the side and also a "running light" mode where it is dimmer. I got them in black, but you have the option of chrome as well.
