Thanks Mike ... It is a great bike i will keep it till its died ! Which Honda's don't die !

Nice bike where did you find those hard saddle bags??

Anthony Leonard it was a great bike I sold a probably about three years ago with 24,000 miles on it and not one problem that ever gave me I wish I just had the 1800 but it was a great bike lotta fun

Larry Starks thanks man

Thanks a lot appreciate it buddy the bike is a wonderful motorcycle

Thanks man ! I appreciate the love

Thanks a lot I put a lot of time and money and that bike

dont know if anyone cares but if you are bored like me atm you can watch all of the new series on InstaFlixxer. Been streaming with my gf recently xD

@Torin Landyn Definitely, I have been watching on InstaFlixxer for months myself =)

Can anybody tell me what kind of hard bags are on this bike on this review?

Tank Tankerson love that bike ! Was great bike ! And yes it is a ‘s’ ! Thanks for watching!

Got one for sale. Good condition garage kept 2006 w 11k miles. Has mustang seats, sissy bar, HD progressive rear shocks, HD progressive front forks everything else is stock it’s a vtx1300R. Recently had Honda dealership done oil change, radiator flushed, brake lines flushed and brand new fuel lines and new spark plugs and battery. The fuel tank probably needs to be resealed cause there’s a little rust in there cause she has been sitting in the garage for 10 months and she probably needs her carb cleaned as well that’s it. Color sky blue and tires still good. Title in hand located in Las Vegas 😁

It’s awesome and very reliable motorcycle

Thanks a lot man !

Love that bike was great !

Chris jones thanks a lot

Dan Makin I’m going to pick up a 2006 vtx 1300 today up north in Maine it’s blue but I want it to get painted and look like yours

That's actually a Honda light bar out front for the driving lights that's a Honda part for that bike I got it about six months after I bought the bike as a leftover 2008

v31003 never once had a problem with it in the cold or any other time it was a great bike to me

Thank you so much that was a good bike

Thanks a lot ! Miss that bike was a good one !

Thanks !

That was one of the best Bikes I’ve ever owned very reliable very smooth I went all the way down to Virginia on that motorcycle from New Hampshire great bike

jose gaspar actually they're not you have to buy an adapter from metric to standard because stock risers will not fit aftermarket handlebars so you have to buy the adapter plus the risers it's a pain in the ass

Thanks man ! Bike had around 25,000 miles which are all mine and have not done anything to it but change oil and shit like that

Thanks man

I think to do it anyways! Thanks man !

Didn’t GM back in the the day stated .. change your oil every 30 or 50,000 miles so customer listened and they all wrecked their engines ??? I’m a 3000 miles changer no matter what but synthetic oil my max is 5000 as I cringe 😬 pass 3000 miles .. and yes it’s expensive.

Thanks man !

My 09 is also carborated I believe the 09 was the last year but either way sick vtx I have the o9 vtx 1300 c with a full GPS fairing

Woodys Farings look him up great guy !! And no the lights fit in the Original location

Thanks Charles! Miss that bike

It wasn't a kit I found got them for a guy in FL accessories International. Then make them to order .. And there not cheap... 325.00 for the 3 of them .. Good luck with your bars

Thanks you!

Thank you

Make sure the final drives have been serviced a lot of people forget about the rear end because it’s a shaft driven motorcycle make sure the seals aren’t leaking other than that that motor is pretty bulletproof maybe your front seals on your forks pretty reliable motorcycle all the way around though

I was wondering about those saddlebags too. The hardbags on the thumbnail picture.

Sadly the company that used to make those bags QQ I’m pretty sure that their company building burned down and never reopened

Me too !

Shaft drive is a nice smooth ride

@@Gasolinegarage if I could find a bagger with Harleys electrical capabilities and Hondas shaft drive, of be in heaven! My vtx 1300 produces 364 watts from the stator at 5k rpm. I'm not sure what the numbers are on different Harleys, but I know I had to work with some small numbers to get my stereo system working. Harleys typically have larger main fuses. I have (1) 30A main. I'm happy with what I did, but you're not going to push even 8" speakers with only about 110 watts to play with. Just won't happen! But I did use this set up for anyone interested: Amplifier: Soundstream stealth series st4.1000DB Speakers: (2) Memphis audio 6x9's MS69 & (2) JBL 6.5" GX628. set your gain correctly and you'll have enough power to listen at triple digits. Seriously, 100+ mph and I'm still good!

I was wondering the same thing. Did you ever find out what kind of bags those are? What the name brand of them is?

By the way I just got one too. Only had six thousand miles on it and got it for $3,000 and it's blue too.

I'm also curious about the bags

I ordered my bike specifically which spoke rims so actually called it VTX 1300 RS

Which the RS stand for retro spoked

No I haven’t but I wish I have had

I think I got those risers from Meancycles.com they’re out of Daytona Florida

MrStitty26 I wish I had a video to document those I got those stretched saddlebags from meancycles.com they’re out of Florida

chris calhoun nope nothing so far

At about 28000 miles (2004 model) I noticed system voltage was a bit low (21.5 volts) when running so I ordered a new regulator / rectifier, the stator puts out 3 phase AC hence the rectifier portion, from Partzilla.com for around 68 dollars brand new and now system voltage when running is a 14 strong volts. Took about an hour to remove and re-route the new harness but it is a plug and play unit.

Thanks

Awesome!

Kevin Levy The turn signals actually the factory ones which mount up to the fog light bar all from Honda but the lenses are aftermarket smoked from Jp cycles

@@Gasolinegarage thanks

A lot of people like that wheels like this one

James Southworth that’s right !

Thanks I got them from Meancycles.com they’re out of Florida

Thanks ! Jp cycles

Gasoline Garage They are discontinued 🤬 Lol Thanks 🤙

Travis Rc Adventures that’s not good ! Sorry bud

Gasoline Garage I bought a vtx 1300 R with 7 thousand miles and now everything is being discontinued have a great weekend stay safe🤙

Yes I did I put a piece of rubber anything that’ll do to keep the vibration down you need to put something in between because they will slide if you don’t put a piece of rubber between the clamp in the fork

@@Gasolinegarage Thanks man I appreciate it

St White I posted this video before I bought those hard bags from for the bike which I love by the way shortly after I bought those bags I ended up selling the bike was a great bike it just needs to be upgraded the motor is small I wish it was the 1800

Yes I need those bags

What are those hard bags called? Would love to get a set for mine!

Woodys faring and Meancycles.com for the bags

I think it was Meancycles.com there out of Miami fl

Dan Makin What size are the handlebars width wise?

www.woodysfairings.com/ Is the guy he bought them from. I got one from theusatrailerstore.com/honda-vtx-1300-1800-batwing-fairing/ fits perfect. Also another one is recklessfairings. Good luck. Check out VTXOA.com lots of good stuff and great people on that forum.

Never knew that ! That’s good at least you won’t be stranded if your throttle cable breaks !

I think those are From Meancycles.com that’s where I got a lot of my stuff for my Honda

Yes he’s looking fine once a year or every 3000 miles I live in New England no ride much we have about five months of good ridding

JP Cycles

Tyler Drinnon They came with a hard bags but unfortunately that company is no longer in existence it was QQ bags and I believe the company burnt down

Tyler Drinnon Oh shit I thought you were talking about the saddlebags in the picture the fog lights are from Honda

James Southworth thanks a lot James was a fun bike ! Have a Harley now !

Moses Osborne A lot if you injectors have injectors which were self prime at the beginning when you start the motorcycle up you don't have to worry about altitude problems like you do with the carburetor and they just run way more fission there more fuel-efficient we have more power and more throttle response my next bike has fuel injection

Not to sure that bike is not made anymore and now they all come with fuel injectors

Idk the carb bikes seem to have a more lumpy idle. 👍

Woodysfaring.com That's the guy I got it from great guy to dose great work

+Dan Makin The website is www.woodysfairings.com.

Always been a big fan of Metzler’s

Heavenly Scratchers! Not anymore ! Have a road glide now ! I’ll make a video man ! Ha ! Was a great bike !

No not at all it was just a review on my motorcycle to VTX at the time of that video those saddlebags were put on shortly after and then I sold the bike I wish I could do an update video for you guys on that video but that video I posted almost 2 years ago

And also from my understanding the QQ bags are no longer available I guess the Playstead custom built those burnt down

I can’t for the life of me remember.. it looks cool but it sick’s to ride it with that seat on it

@@Gasolinegarage lmao!!! I’m almost finished with my bagger build I looked for 2 years trying to find a set of the QQ bags like you had, I ended up buying a set from backyard air suspension I found a company called C and C seats

Travis Rc Adventures Yeah that was a fun build that bike and those bags I think that company the whole warehouse and facility burnt down that’s why nobody can find them anymore they’re gone the companies gone

QQ bags

I left a link in the comments pin

I’ve never did the brakes on this bike that I can remember but I think it’s similar to any other motorcycle if you want to search those just clap the pistons take the calipers off replace the brake pads

I have three different seats for that bike when I owned it I had a Mustang seat and then a day tripper by Danner

That was the last photo of the bike before I sold it I bought those hard bag shortly after that video I just never did a video update

I believe I found those at meancycles.com

@@Gasolinegarage I’ve been looking for over 2 years hoping someone would have a set those are QQ bags the company that made them their shop burned down cant no longer get them thanks man stay safe 🤟

That’s too bad about that company was a good bags

@@Gasolinegarage I know right I think they are the best looking out of all the bagger kits

Im tryin put the same kind bars you got for mine

Montana Estep I wish I could remember buddy I know they’re 12inches though and then I put a 6 inch riser They’re actually designed for a Harley Davidson I believe because I had to get different type of clamp for the triple trees for the Honda set up

I believe it was custom accessories out of Florida I'm really not sure man

Dan Makin can you make a new video showing off the bike. Maybe even a riding video?

Jrvisualz I actually don’t on the bike anymore I sold the bike almost 3 years ago

Carb for this bike !

The 1300's are carb...the 1800's are fuel injected

PietScheffer Thanks a lot I did love that bike a lot of sense sold it and bought a Harley wish I could’ve kept that one !!

@@Gasolinegarage wow, really srry to hear that. That was a really nice bike.

I’m 6 foot three the faring really doesn’t help me very much I just wanted it for the stereo and I like the look

@@Gasolinegarage I'm also a big guy andI just took the windshield off my vtx1800 because it was at that perfect height to turn my head into a paint shaker at highway speeds, also just put 14 inch apes on it because the stock bars felt like I was close enough to scratch my knees

Berserker Nick Trust me I know the feeling but if I could do it over again I probably would’ve shot for the 1800 VTX that thing has a lot of power but I had a windshield on mine from Memphis shades but my line of sight would put me right on the edge of the windshield I didn’t like that either specially at night

It was Q hard bags Call Ryan remember the company has burned to the ground which is pretty sad

Those saddlebags were designed from a company which were called QQ bags I believe the business is no longer in existence because it had a fire and never reopened

@@Gasolinegarage thanks, I am looking at a 2006 Honda vtx 1300s retro with them bags on it... I like them but I wanted to see how they open and how big they are, appreciate the help 🤙🏼

Rocky Mountain Ras The only difference is that a hard bags I put on afterwards same bike

@@Gasolinegarage I'm sorry man but where did you say you got those hardbags at? Or is that the place that you were talking about that burnt down? I really love those bags and have been looking for a long long time for something I like.

I forgot too

@@Gasolinegarage all good. Was jw boss

lil dobbs I would make an update with you on that bike but I sold it it was a great bike

Mojo27564 Still wish I had that bike

Thanks
