1998 Honda Shadow ACE 750

The full designation for this bike is VT750CD which means it's Deluxe model. This means a two-tone paint job (Black and Pearl Canyon Copper), Chrome fork covers, engine heads, and chain guard. The bike also had a National cycle windshield and light bar, leather saddlebags.  The bike fit April well as the previous owners had lowered the front forks, cut a coil out of the rear springs, and narrowed the handlebars. The seat had also been modified for short riders by Mean City Cycles. This was a great bike, but after owning it for a year, we realized it just wasn't getting ridden enough to justify keeping it so we sold it in the Summer of 2010.
