This 03 750 ACE has gone from stock to heavily modded in less than a year. The ACE has a large following, so trying to stand out from the crowd can be difficult, but this bike does it.

First to go were the badges, for the clean look. A set of extended forward controls were sourced in order to let the Gorilla's 6'3" frame stretch out. The rear springs were trimmed down, to get the rear closer to the ground, while the front shock spacers were also cut, bringing the bike down nicely. Some square Aero mirrors were traded from The Punisher, to change the look a bit.

The most extreme modifications have come in the area of lighting. By removing the front and rear bars, all signal and running lights were eliminated, creating a much leaner bike. A custom plate bracket was fabricated to let the plate hug the fender, while a set of skull and crossbone bolts with blue LEDs are used to highlight it. The most noteworthy addition to the bike is Carl, the modified cast steel skull fitted to the rear fender where the old signals and plate used to reside.

Some pretty serious exhaust modifications were done as well. By carefully cutting apart another set of stock pipes, a shorter, louder setup was created. The look adds to the minimalistic look of the bike and compliments its size.
