(3 stars) reviewed on 12/21/05 by Duke (dukey33) from Houston, TX, United States, for a 1998 750 Shadow ACE Tourer wrote: Chrome quality is good. Welds are okay. Hardware is good. Very difficult to install. You'll need a ball-end Allen wrench to reach the bolts. I wound up grinding down the included bolts a bit to make installation easier but it was still very difficult. It is comfortable, although even at it's rearmost position it put me more forward in the saddle than I'm used to. I'm only 5-8. If you're any taller, you may not like it. Around town I don't use it, I flip the pad backward so it is out of the way. I have the pad installed in the lowest of 3 positions and the vinyl is getting creased by the "neck" of the assembly. It can't expect it will last very long like this. If I had to do it again, I would get the ProTac. Review Details  Was this review helpful to you? Yes No

Other than that, very comfortable and nice to have. Review Details  3 out of 3 members found this review helpful. Was this review helpful to you? Yes No

Overall it seems like it will be a worth while addition to the bike. I wasn't totally impressed with the way it was welded. Review Details  1 out of 1 members found this review helpful.

(5 stars) reviewed on 03/09/04 by Bob Binns (Binner) from Dartmouth, NS, Canada, for a 2000 750 Shadow ACE Tourer wrote: This is the most appriciated accessory I have added to my ride. I would have added it a long time ago had I known the difference it makes. Not just in the comfort and support but in the confidence in handeling. From an accerlated stop to close cornering around town as well as changing lanes on the run this is the cats meow. I thought it may impact on the passanger space ( The Wife) and she likes her space, but there is zero complaints. Probally because she bought it for Xmas. I would reccommend this product as a # 1 pick. Review Details  1 out of 1 members found this review helpful. Was this review helpful to you? Yes No

Changes your body position in relation to the bike more than expected. Should be worth all the fuss and expence to ease the back pain. Instructions were wrong but anyone who has ever turned a wrench before can instell one of these. COST: $295 CDN. Review Details  1 out of 1 members found this review helpful.

(5 stars) reviewed on 08/30/03 by pete (pete_t) from oxford, MS, United States, for a 750 Shadow ACE Tourer wrote: I bought this from Cruiser Customizing. They sent the wrong one first and after a few weeks I received the correct one. It was difficult to install but only because I didn't have a long allen wrench. After 1 1/2 - 2 months of messing with it, I finally got it on and it was darn well worth the wait. Review Details  Was this review helpful to you? Yes No
