Was just thinking about this because of the picture... but how much do you think it cost him to go to a belt driven drive train?

Its a Bourget bike. I hear the belt drive isn't too reliable on the shadows. Scootworks sells belt drives for the ace. Take a look here (http://209.15.36.61/swcart/shop.cgi/page=partsh.htm/SID=1116035991.29089).

Ouch is right. I've been told that bike is worth about 45K.

Both. Ace custom by bourget. They do custom bikes if I remember correctly.:happy:
I think I've seen a bike by them on the discovery channel or something like that.

Come on people I gave people on this site more credit than that. Who the hell would spend that much money for a bike that is only a harley anyway the piece of shit would probably break down in the first 50 miles anyway. Besides You could buy two Hondas for that kind of money and have four times the fun and four times the bike. I have ridden harleys and I dont like an air cooled engin and a hot oil tank roasting my nuts! We can't even ride at a slow speed in town around here without having one of them over heat in the summer time when the temp. is close to one hundred. Sorry guys not my idea of fun. The only thing that get hot on my Shadow is the pipes on the side by my right leg and that aint as bad as an air cooled engin smoken your ass. Looks aint every thing unless You people are into trailer queens and show and no go any where type bikes. I bought my bike to ride and not to work on all the time and besides parts for harleys are insane in price. Hell I have nearly twentyfour thousand miles on my Shadow and all I have done to it is tires, fluids, plugs, and filters thats it and runs like it did when I got it! And I wouldn't be afraid to take it any where with only money for gas and eats!

I'm sorry that we don't live up to your expectations. :wink_2:

Do I like it, yes, I think it's a sharp looking bike. Would I piss away 20k on it, hell no.

BTW I think you'd get more than 50 miles on it, OCC didn't build it :happy:

Yeah, just ask Jay Leno about his bike they built him. I guess someone wired it wrong.
Bikes like the one on ebay are sources for ideas. You can like it without wanting to own it like AirportFF said.

I knew that would get people going. lol . Sorry just couldn't control myself I don't have a problem with any bike that anyone has or wants I still want a Royal Star Tour Delux but that's another story doesn't fit in a Honda Site. lol. Love the Site and love the Mods. Where else can We get so much info all in one place. Besides if You get bored You can always go look at the eye candy. Realy like the bike pics, and being able to say what You want and not be put down. Good luck on the dream bike. Ride safe and ride every chance You get. What ever You ride.
