Can you put harley wide glide forks on a honda shadow ace 1100?
Both forks are 41mm. I'm trying to put a 21" front tire on the bike and I'm weighing my options on what I should do. If the forks can set into the triple tree with not much problem Luke only having to make shims then that's the way to go.
The "easy" way to put new forks on a bike is to replace the whole assembly and have the stem machined/spaced to allow the Harley yokes/triple tree to fit to the Honda frame, then swap some of the controls over.
My guess is that someone has tried this before I would lurk on an owner club website and ask the question if it has not already been addressed.
Few issues…
What wheel are you planning on using?
Assume you are wanting to run a HD hub and rotors laced to 21 inch rim with wide glide front end, axle, and brakes.
So… Brakes. Going to run a Honda master cylinder and HD calipers?
What about bars and remaining controls?
Have to get all that sorted out.
Might be easier to lace up a 21" rim to a Honda hub and retain the Honda brakes, trees, bars, controls, etc.
- If i make a wire harness will it work with out pulse generator and icu on 85 1100 honda shadow? If i just make direct line from stator to rectifier to starter selonoid and coils will it be fine with out the pulse generator and the 2 icm/icu? I want to eliminate a bunchof stuff on it and i was wondering if that could go as well. It was a mess when i bought it i will figure it out if it must stay but i just need to know if it can go because it will be less of a headache if i can keep it going with out it.
- I have a 1996 Honda Shadow ACE. It won't start even though the battery is charged. What can I do? I just got the battery charged and the bike still won't start. I can hear it trying but it just won't catch. I know very little about engines but could it be the fuel pump or carburetor that needs to be cleaned or replaced. If so, how do I do that?
- Busted my front driver floorboard on 2000 Honda Shadow Aero 1100. What all should I buy? I screwed up and tipped the bike. The right floorboard broke clean off. Can I just replace them with pegs, or do I have to buy the floorboards? Can someone give me some advice on where to buy all the pieces I'll need? It broke off close to the board itself. Also, is this something that I can fix on my own with a good wrench, or should I be taking it in somewhere and having them do it?
