Boy, no one answered you?! Bummer. Well I´ve got a ´96 1100 ACE too and she´s awesome! I got rid of a 1500 Vulcan for her and am WAY happier.As far as exhaust goes, I believe BUB make a set that ride low and don´t sound too bad either. They come in that "never turn blue" chrome if ya like too I believe. Let me know if ya get it and I´ll fill ya in on the sled abit more.
