If I may hijack this thread, wouldn't those flame decals look awesome on a de-badged all-black T? I think I'd leave the rear fender and bags black and just do the front fender and...

I was thinking that Jerry was after the beefier look more than the actual physical function. If this is the case, then the shrouds can be bought for less than a total fork swap. Of course either way you would have to purchase an after market windshield to fit the fork style. On a fork swap you would likely have to buy the triple trees for them and do a lot of retrofitting to get everything else to work.

I don't think any Shadows ever had inverted forks (I could be mistaken). Some have chrome shrouds but these tend to make it trickier to attach a windshield, tho not impossible.

Good question Jerry. I have always thought the front end of the T would look better with some beef up there. I hung a small leather tool type bag from the front forks to "fill in" the weak area. I always thought the forks should have been turned upside down. Bob

Has any tried to swap the ACE T forks with the "upside down" fork design on other ACE models? If it works physically, it would give a very stout appearance to the front end of the the ACE T and should look great.
