Hi again! I need to pick you brains once again ;-) My ACE 400 is getting a few "upgrades" Vance and Hines Exhaust K&N Air Filter >>and of course I need to re-jet my carbs. Here lies the problem. I have confirmed that the exhaust and air-filter from the ACE 750 work but I do not have any info which carburettor model is in the Shadow Ace 400 I found 2 jet kits that fit the 750 but without knowing which carb is in the 400 this is not much help. If you want to have a look at the jet kit, it can be found at http://www.cruisercustomizing.com and it is made by Thunder (includes stage 1 - 3 jets, pretty nice!) http://www.cruisercustomizing.com/images/cob_92-2271_200.jpg So please if anyone knows if the carbs in the 750 are the same as in the 400 please let me know. Or even if you have the model/part number of the carbs that would be fine (I have no manual ) My Ace 400 is a 1999 model Thanks a lot for your help and best regards Barbara

..and hopefully also Girls... Since yesterday I am proud owner of a 1999 Honda Shadow ACE 400, and to be honest it's a pain in the ar** to find any info on this bike in Europe! I am not sure how many of them are around in Ireland but it's only a handful. So, first things first, you guys saved my life with lots of useful info on the Shadow 400, specially that one on fitting 750 parts on the bike... lets go shopping! Am i right that in your area you have a bit of a problem with bike inspectors? Ireland is luckily enough a bit of a banana republic still, which means, lots and lots of mods and nobody cares ;-) I posted a photo of my shadow a bit further down, please note that the photo does not do the bike justice since it's been taken with my camera phone. It came with pretty much all the extras you could wish for and the only additional mods I'm planning to carry out is an LED Engine mod, here seen on a harley (see 3rd pic) and I bought a new radiator cover, 2nd pic,(Cause it's pretty;-) Some people might find the LED mode a bit of a poser but it makes sense here, considering the poor lighting on Irish roads - you wanna be seen - believe me! Up until now the first impression of the bike is great! Let me know what you think of the LED mod... and be gentle, I'm a newbie ;-))
