You make it look easy. Great explanations and camera angles. Thanks!

[@LuckyAcesRiding]

Thank you! The biggest hurdle to overcome is cutting the frame. Everything after that is easy mainly because you don't have a choice but to finish 😂

[@ThirdGenGM]

Lmao looks like a hack

[@brainchilddesigner]

Great job! I also vouch for BCB. Amazing mom and pop shop. I've bought many things from then and will continue to.

[@danielcoganmanzanas3676]

Don't listen to the hate. Keep up the good work. You are entitled to work and change your bike without Internet orange county choppers wannabes busting your chops for working on your bike

[@LuckyAcesRiding]

Trust me, I worry not what some people think. If this was a classic vintage motorcycle I might take some of it into consideration but you can still buy this exact same model brand new.

This looks good - the ACE 750 is my favorite motorcycle in general

[@xxYFKxx]

Man I love your content on the honda shadow! It’s crazy because when I brought my honda shadow, I’m starting to realize that my shadow has been converted to a bobber 😅 I didn’t noticed it until I started watching your videos! Keep up the content bro.

[@LuckyAcesRiding]

Thanks man! As long as you didn't inherit anyone else's problems you saved yourself a ton of work if that is the look you were going for!

[@xxYFKxx]

@@LuckyAcesRiding I honestly was just looking for a Honda Shadow 750. I did a good amount of research & I found your channel. When I bought It I didn’t have a single clue what the difference was at first but now I do lol. The bike is clean with zero issues (:

[@LuckyAcesRiding]

@@xxYFKxx Awesome! I know with used bikes sometimes you never know what you are getting yourself in to.

[@sonoftexasOO]

I dig it. I don't understand why folks are upset. It's not your bike. Do you...

[@goodgamebro_]

18:53 i wasnt expecting tht 😭😭😂😂 but good shit 😂

[@LuckyAcesRiding]

In its own stand alone video it got flagged as "not suitable for advertisers", go figure 😆

[@Anubi55]

If you like the Mustang seat, just try the ultimate seat, a very different story, especially with the back rest, I could ride my aero for hours!

[@LuckyAcesRiding]

Anything over the stock seat in an improvement!

[@Lucky13Roadkill]

Nice job👍looks much better👌

[@phillyblazen1736]

I’m a superbike guy but I gotta say, your build…it looks amazing my friend 💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽

[@LuckyAcesRiding]

Thanks friend! Ride safe!

[@Medes06]

I love it, and I don't get when people say they want bigger bikes, 750 cc looks great to me for the city or around.

[@LuckyAcesRiding]

Wanting a bigger bike beyond a 750 is, in my opinion, more about chasing that "new rider thrill" than actually needing more power.

[@Medes06]

@@LuckyAcesRiding agree 100 %.

[@Shadowbobber208]

Need to get my build documented, got something very similar going. I did the solid struts in the rear though. Good looking bike!

[@LuckyAcesRiding]

I have a kit from Chopper Supply LLC which includes 8" over forks and new triples to rake the front an additional 14 degrees. Once that goes on I was thinking of giving hard struts a try.

[@popdrumlinearchives7836]

So i find you on tiktok and say nice bike and then a month later on youtube. I meant to watch your videos it’s a sign

[@LuckyAcesRiding]

@@popdrumlinearchives7836 possibly but I am not on tiktok, never have been

[@dimmasvaerd]

Spring seats definitely look better. I switched to a spring seat on my '13 Sportster 1200 and love it. Bike came with a pretty stiff suspension and the springs added just the right amount of give to make it comfortable. I'll admit, a bit more cushion for longer rides would be nice, though. 😆

[@LuckyAcesRiding]

Spring seat for the looks but a lot of days I miss that mustang seat. I'm still debating hard struts but I ride this bike almost daily so I have not taken the plunge yet.

[@dimmasvaerd]

@@LuckyAcesRiding I've never tried riding a hardtail. At 45, I don't think I will. My spine couldn't take the abuse. lol

[@LuckyAcesRiding]

@@dimmasvaerd Yeah I really am on the fence about it

[@relevation0]

Another good bike Bubba'd

[@DeniedClimax]

Awesome content, awesome commentary, awesome video! Both entertaining and informative. Final product is beautiful!

[@LuckyAcesRiding]

Thank you friend!

[@scottsingleton2951]

Stock, that bike has 6mm allen seat bolts. If you ever changed a rear tire, you'd know about the axle spacers.

[@rickeyuson2731]

What size apes? I picked up some Amazon special ones in 10in but I have 1 inch risers. How far could I push these wires without getting extended ones

[@LuckyAcesRiding]

On your Spirit I'm not sure. On my Aero I went with 12" apes (wider ones) using the factory 2" risers and only had to replace the clutch cable. I know as far as the Aeros go 10" bars work fine with a little re-routing of the stock cables.

[@Andi_VZ]

gracias por tu video !! saludos desde Venezuela

[@yertelt5570]

Cool mod. I have a 98 750 ACE, I'd have to use a slightly different wire management strategy as I have a chain drive and I don't think a wire zip tied to the chain would end well. lol

[@LuckyAcesRiding]

I mean it would briefly work 🤣 but yeah, the swing arm would probably be best.

[@meandmyshadow7839]

Excellent work my friend.

[@LuckyAcesRiding]

Thank you!

[@bryanlawrence3389]

Good job working on your gut!!! Keep it up buddy🎉

[@LuckyAcesRiding]

Thanks friend! Jan 2022 I was about 280lbs and got down to 205lbs by July 2022. Currently sitting around 230-235. I'm right about 6' and at 205 I had people say I was too skinny. If I can get back down to 220 or so I'll be happy.

[@brainchilddesigner]

​@@LuckyAcesRiding Great job! Keep it up

[@wade4452]

Like everything except the over front end. Would look better stock or with stock lingth springer. Nice quickie thow.

[@LuckyAcesRiding]

You are talking about the fork extensions yes? Those are gone. The bike now has 8" over tubes and an additional 14 degrees of rake. I agree though, the stock front end looked better.

[@alexmcniven4473]

Hey man where did you get your longer cables for the bars? Also where are those bars from and what size are they?

[@LuckyAcesRiding]

The bars are 12" ape hangers from J&P Cycles. Throttle cables are stock, the clutch cable came from Mean Cycles. A lot of people buy them from Motion Pro which seems to be the most cost effective option.

[@bertbirge3617]

Great job!

[@LuckyAcesRiding]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@The--Ghostspider66]

6:34 lol seeing those cutting bits on the tire bothered me to the point I wanted to blow it off through my phone screen 😅 Any way it turned out awesome This is going to be my first bike Shadow is the way to go though it's been years and I've struggling but I won't give up my dream It's not just a dream it's my freedom One day baby

[@rodrigovidalperez4301]

Great video big dog! Where can I get that swing arm bracket? I can’t seem to find it

[@LuckyAcesRiding]

Here is a link to the plate bracket --> amzn.to/46da3IR

[@marianoconde1118]

Nice one! Y Do you have the link for the same rear fender kit?

[@LuckyAcesRiding]

Got it from bluecollarbobbers.com/

[@Robin-c9c3w]

Lookd beautiful, how much i hsve to spend for mods like that?

[@GenXPertChannel]

Making it what you want is part of the fun of having a bike. I'm trying to make my Spirit look more like an ACE... you wouldn't happen to want to sell your original rear fender and the associated chrome bits etc would you? I think I'll do an ACE rear end, leave my Spirit large front wheel in place- then do some passing lights- kind of a strange mix of ACE and Spirit.

[@LuckyAcesRiding]

Before I bobbed mine out I ran a Spirit front fender for a while. The large rear Aero fender just looked odd. Also I really don't want the hassle of trying to ship the rear and have no idea if it will even bolt up.

[@isaiahandersen9269]

Great looking build, I am planning on doing something similar on my 05 shadow aero and this was a great visualization of what it could look like! That spring seat you used looks quite nice, could you tell me what seat it is, and do you find it comfortable?

[@LuckyAcesRiding]

The seat is from Blue Collar Bobbers. It is not as comfortable as the stock seat but for that style it is pretty decent. Trust me though, after about 2 hours I'm ready to get off and stretch my legs.

[@isaiahandersen9269]

@@LuckyAcesRiding thanks! I plan to take longer rides so maybe this seat isn't for me.

[@LuckyAcesRiding]

@@isaiahandersen9269 If you plan on longer trips the Mustang Seat is what you are after. Pricy but 100% worth it!

[@dovid916]

curious as to why you crimped connectors vs just soldering them

[@LuckyAcesRiding]

Working with what I had at the time. Just wanted the project done.

[@dovid916]

​@@LuckyAcesRiding Gotcha, especially if it was a hot day out!

[@LuckyAcesRiding]

@@dovid916 It was pretty hot and I did the rear fender right before that so we are talking a few hours. I keep telling myself I need to go back and re-do they but everything still works so I'm not too worried about it.

[@berniesavard5146]

You should try Black Chrome that would make I pop

[@LuckyAcesRiding]

Anything to get rid of the shiny stuff lol! Plans to black out the whole bike have unfortunately been put on hold.

[@deonteb1624]

Did the blinkers come with the parts you used for connecting the wires

[@LuckyAcesRiding]

No, they were just the lights themselves.

[@stanislavdamqnov3905]

Were you buy this bobber kit ?

[@LuckyAcesRiding]

Fenders and seat came from BlueCollarBobbers

[@SpencerRemy]

Hey I have a Jeep TJ and an Aero too!!!!

[@LuckyAcesRiding]

Oh nice!

[@coryarlof6368]

very informative. do you have a gas tac or some sort of reader for it?

[@LuckyAcesRiding]

I added a tachometer and voltmeter to the bike.

[@coryarlof6368]

lol i forgot to add a part. do you have a tac or anything for reading your fuel level in your tank? @@LuckyAcesRiding

[@LuckyAcesRiding]

@@coryarlof6368 No I just go based off the tripometer. Usually once I hit 100 miles I start looking for a gas station.

[@CodyVenturelli-gg2dp]

What struts did you end up putting on? And what lowering struts did you have?

[@LuckyAcesRiding]

I have not installed the struts yet. The original cheap set from Amazon did not fit but I have another set (also from Amazon) that look like they might work without drilling out the mounting holes.

[@roy9161]

Does this make the bike a little lighter?? By weight I mean

[@BrokenPineapple]

I turned my 1983 shadow 750 into a bobber because everything was beoken on it. Lots of work ya'll. I know the caeb like the back of my hand now ;)

[@LuckyAcesRiding]

I can imagine trying to find replacement parts for anything on a 83 would be a challenge.

[@alexanderludwig2824]

i need those footpegs!!

[@LuckyAcesRiding]

They are Kuryakyn Mini Riot Floor Boards. PN: 3597 and the adapters for the front is PN: 8863

[@rickymckim4480]

I might try this

[@LuckyAcesRiding]

Just make sure you 100% want to because once the frame it cut there is no going back.

[@michaelmoran4941]

Could anyone PLEASE help me find white walls like these for my 2007 Honda shadow 750 aero

[@LuckyAcesRiding]

They are Shinko 777, the front size you can find exact but the rear you have to go with a 170/80B15

[@BTone-wv5hc]

Where did u get the kit? I have a 2006

[@LuckyAcesRiding]

12" ape hangers from J&P cycles, factory Honda risers.

They are 12" apes from J&P Cycles.

[@natetaylor8203]

And sir what did you do with your bike? Kept it boring and looking like every other basic bike on the road? Congrats!

[@pyramidsinegypt]

I totally agree with this sentiment. There's a good looking and safe bike and then some bobber/cafe racer chad comes along and makes it ugly and les safe.

[@pyramidsinegypt]

​@@shearcullLearn to understand different tastes. I fully agree with Nigel.

[@pyramidsinegypt]

​@@natetaylor8203Oh yes, because every bobber and cafe racer looks oh so unique 😂 At the end of the day someone took a good looking and well designed bike and made it ugly.

[@mdnt2607]

You should’ve replaced the handlebars with a straight bar

[@LuckyAcesRiding]

I thought about it and actually have a set of bars with 2" rise I could try. Those apes are just so comfortable though.

[@saltysnoopy]

I chopped out an '84 VT700 including a 40 degree rack.

The fender is horrible, those brackets are ugly. I really don't like the emplacement of the rear light nor it's form. Making a bobber is alright but buying plastic shits from Amazon/Aliexpress to built a generic bike makes no sense. You gotta work a bit more than drilling three holes to install junk on it...

Good thing it isn't in your driveway then.

[@GrievousAngelo]

You probably got the seat angle figured out by now but just in case you haven’t, I changed the springs on the seat out for 5 inch springs on my V Star 1100 bobber and it doesn’t feel like I’m about to slide off the back anymore.

[@LuckyAcesRiding]

A stack of washers ended up doing the trick. I still can run it for more than 2 hours before it becomes a pain but I couldn't with the stock seat either.

[@davidmurray9193]

Would it not of been cheeper to cut the old mudguard down to the shape you wanted?, nice turn out all the same

[@LuckyAcesRiding]

If I were to do it again I probably would have just done that and run the Mustang seat. I really like the small fender look though.
