After 16 years, your bike is still a cool. Hope youre still riding it.

@dtdrummerlady 16 жыл бұрын

Thanks for the comparison, but I think I will stick with my stock pipes for now. I like the quiet smooth sound I'm getting now. When you go long distances I think the loud pipes tire you out more. (loud sound and vibration) I had louder pipes on my VStar, but so far I choose the quieter stock pipes on my VTX 1300.

Those grips look really nice. Gotta love this bike. The VTX1300R is the first bike I have ever owned and ridden.

I'm 6'1" and it fits me just fine. I now have the Cobra Fatty's freeway bars and foot pegs attached to them. Now I fit great and can stretch out. I suggest getting them if your tall as it will provide needed comfort plus they look good.

I'm 6'9" and so far my vtx1300 is the only thing I enjoy riding, and the only thing beefy enough for it to not look like a scooter underneath me lol. I've had 12inch apes and drag bars on it and both are very comfortable. Highly recommended.

Thanks for the info. Ive since found a 2005 VTX1300C in mint condition with Vance Hines pipes , 10 k.. miles, for asking price of $4,000 . I think it could be had for $3600 as they really want to be rid of it . Hopefully going to close on the sale today. Im pretty excited as its a heck of a deal. No windshield though but ill get one installed. David.

I love the sound of the stock pipes! It compliments the bike. If you ever ride 400-600 miles a wk-end like we do, I think you would be tired of the loudness and vibration. Where do you live to have that much snow? Michigan? HA That is where I was born and raised.

Dealer installed. They said alot of the 1300s accept aftermarket pipes without rejetting. It runs great. I get a little decel. pop on occasion, usually when it's not quite warmed up yet.

@spanky522 6 жыл бұрын

Even with the single pin crank on the 1300 VTX, it's just too dam loud at 5 AM going to work. I can't imagine waking up to that every morning. I removed the baffles and that's about as far as needed to get a good deeper sound.

@rbanas3 13 жыл бұрын

I highly doubt it. My 1300 got about 40 or 42. With a bigger displacement and if he has after market pipes you would probably see in the low 30's maybe middle 30's. Thats a beast of an engine. My harley has a 1584 cc motor and I get upper 30's with after market pipes and a more free flowing air filter. I would rely more on the Honda than a Harley. VTX's are bullet proof bikes. Low maintenance. Shaft driven water cooled. Pick it up if you realy like it. Fun bike that you can do so much to.

The sound on the computer is a little decieving. It's much more of a drastic difference in person. The rumble on the stocks is not as loud in person. The video camera and computer kind of make it sound a little louder, but they are great for stockers.

Of course the Cobra pipes sound better. For the "Stock guys" ... simply remove the baffles and you`ll get a much more attention getting rumble quite like the pipes on this video. If you want to really turn the heads get a set of Cobra Drag pipes...oh and an 1800 VTX as well...LOL

A proud American and a union man, eh? Well we used to supply HD with their Nippon Seiki speedos. RedirXTV is right. They both have about the same amount of american made parts and they're both assembled in the US. And anyone who pays that much for a bike that old with that many miles is an idiot looking for a nameplate.

@chrisc6874 7 жыл бұрын

Actually , there is 3 kinds.... the third is those who have a brain and a honda. If only harley engineers had half the brain of honda engineers..... . Im just saying they are far more advanced in my opinion. For instance , the self balancing systems theyre coming out with. I think they are targeting non riders (who have no experience and wont fall with this system) which would be smart from a marketing point of view. Sound isnt everything buddy. There are sounds that harley cant dupicate too by the way (like my cbr 1000 with 2 bros system ). Its loud as hell, and in my opinion sounds sweet! Lets see a vrod pull up next to me. There are other sounds that they cant touch too like the akro systems. A few harleys were across from me at the light and revving their bikes one night . Then , I revved mine and they were shocked. I also have a vtx 1300. i love the sound of the harleys too. i rode a softail with a screaming eagle that my ex had. youre probably one of those guys that will put another biker down if he/she doesnt ride a harley. I ride with all kinds. my friend that i work with just bought a $30k road glide and we ride with anybody
