Like the subject says. I ADKed my hard-won Black Sun Ace Helmet and it appears to have become armor. I am (and have been since release) a TKA. Wearing armor renders my inate armor useless. I now take double damage when wearing my prize possession.
I hope this is a bug. A dev/csr/spokesperson response to the effect of, "We are aware of this bug, it will be fixed sometime", is all I ask. If someone can point me to a thread where this has been addressed, that would be appreciated.
BSAH = ultrarare loot worth10-20 million credits
ADK = veteran reward worth5-8 million credits
Put them together = throw away 15 - 30 million credits
This sucks.

I dunno, but that sucks, I'm TKM too, so I feel your pain.

it looks like it just becomes armor and makes his jedi not able to use it or something along that nature.

Thanks for taking the time to reply, aarton! That was very helpful. I'll go straightaway to the informative post that you've directed me to.

It has been said that when it reaches 0 condition it changes from a 100/100 clothing item, the TKMs and Jedi can wear and not lose armor or jedi skills to a 0/100 item that will not let a Jedi use his powers and TKs lose there armor.
That's why you ADK it. The new rumor is that if you ADK it at 100/100 it will stay as clothing.

but why would you WANT to adk clothing anyway? if you feel you'll be in danger... why not leave it in a bank or at your house? Just seems odd to me

Its just a matter of personal preference, Cainne.
The bsah is not just any piece of clothing. It is very, very rare and I happen to enjoy the way it looks on my character. My character has no use whatsoever for armor, so my toon's clothing wardrobe is pretty much it. That said, I want the freedom to put the bsah on my toon's head and leave it there indefinitely, whether I plan on fighting or not.
To me, leaving this prize (which is potentially worth 3 or more ADKs) in a bank to gather dust would be a crime.

My first endor helm went to 0/100 condition, so i could no longer use it with my jeedai at all. So i ADK'ed a second one and its at 100/100 condition, and i can use it all the time now. The purpose of ADKing it is so that you can use it with jeedai/TKM.

Surely the bug is not the armour turning into armour upon 0 condition or when ADK'd, but that the piece of armour (such as a fully enclosed helm) can initially be worn as a piece of clothing?
