I painted the red/white Ace Black with red trim - Sold it to KK, who then painted it black with ASDA green highlights :D

He sold it to another guy on eVILbay, and bought the blue/black ace that he did our 1000 mile jaunt on :nod:

The tail unit on the original Ace, was just the standard unit - It's a bit wide, but then again, so's my arse!

Fightering any bike is up to you, as only you can decide on what you want it to look like,

Most common things are, remove the fairings, change top yoke and fit rethal bars, headlights and digital clocks,

Our kid had a ace, which he sold before I had the chance to fighter it, can't remember what forks it had, but I was change then for the gold USD's I have,

Have a look at the other site I'm on, http://www.streetfighter-riffraff.com/index.php

I'm just getting over those tits, but now they're back. Very distracting they are! :nod: :lol:
Bit of advice. Buy a good bed and a good pair of shoes, because if you aren't in one you'll be in the other.
