For sale is my 1998 Honda Shadow ACE 1100 Tourer (VT1100T). These are very special and are becoming increasingly rare. There was approx. 6,164 of these built in the Marysville, OH assembly plant between 1998 and 2001 as a competitive bike for the Harley Davidson Road King. As this bike does not have quite as much power as the Road King, it is much more comfortable and handles considerably better. As for MPG it gets around 38-42 mpg depending on your riding style; I get around 40. The bike has 34,326 miles on it currently. The rear tire was replaced about 2100 miles ago and the front has about 50% tread left. This color scheme is one of the most sought after of all offered on this model.

I have done a good bit of custom work to this bike. The front fairing is from a H/D Street Glide, complete with the full H/D headlamp assembly. The rear trunk was purchased from a local Honda dealer. Both were custom painted by Trinity Body Works in Goldsboro, NC The throttle lock/cruise is a custom fitted Kuryakyn twist lock that works exceptionally well. The dummy or counterbalance side is mounted on the left side to complete the look and balance. There is also a cup/bottle holder on the left side of the bars. I also have the original OEM windshield in excellent condition that has had 2 leather pouches added to it, as well as the original headlamp and passenger backrest. To swap the fairing and windshield takes about 10 minutes. I also have a black Tourmaster nylon "trunk bag" and the original Honda rearview mirrors. I have also done a minor modification to the exhaust. I removed the "tea pots" (resonators) near the exhaust tips. This was not done to make it louder, but to give it a more "throaty" sound. It is a bit louder than stock, but nothing like a straight piped H/D. It is tasteful and pleasing. My 9 year old son and I can carry on a conversation at 60 mph.

I am looking to sell this bike because my son has gotten into water sports and we have found a boat we want to purchase. This bike will not disappoint! It turns heads and gets compliments every where we go on it. It is very comfortable to ride; my first trip was from Louisville, KY to Pikeville, NC and was not worn out after nearly 2 days of 70-75 mph riding. The saddle bags are deep and hold a lot of stuff, and I have the liners to go in them. The trunk is smallish, but works great for a single 1/2 or 3/4 helmet, gloves, glasses, or any small items you want to keep handy. I am pretty firm on the price as I  have a good bit more than that in it, but might wiggle A LITTLE to move it quickly. You can e-mail me with a close offer. This bike is for sale locally and this ad is subject to end pending local sale without notice.
