    hey marty my name is matt (reddogsimon) in deer park texas. you seem to be on of the guys on vtx cafe who can answer questions. i have a 1300r 2007 and it started running rough a few weeks ago. found water in stock air box, got that fixed. also running so seafoam thru tank now. now the problem is while riding it sputters at take off but picks right back up. and at crusing speed if i hammer it, it starts cutting out really bad until i let back to a cruise. and heres the twist, the speedo needle floats up and down and then will go back to speed and do it again. the ditgal read out went to all 8's just as if i had just turned on my key to start the bike. all this is while riding down the road. any idea or help? thank you (reddogsimon)

    Hi Marty. Nice meeting you Saturday on the PGR mission at Miramar. Still trying to learn my way around the site, but it looks pretty cool. Are there any rides happening in the San Diego area over the holidays?

    Marty, Great posts and pics ! I am gearing up for a trip from Richmond, VA west through the Rockies and back... About 4,300 miles in 9-10 days. Your pictures are inspiring! Any advice for a long trip on a VTX would be appreciated.

    Marty - I want to do the same...hop on the bike and not return for a couple weeks/few thousand miles. You should post a "For those that want to do a hardcore bike trip...." post and put all of your gems of knowledge/experience tips in there (how to choose a spot for sleeping/tent, how far in a day, what to pack, etc.).

    Marty,
    Have been a member and sponser since Jan. 2010. Have just ordered a mustang seat for my C and am willing to put my stock seat up for action or at a price and donate the funds to this board or if an account is set up to go to memebrs who have been burned out. Is there such a fund ? How much is this seat in perfect condition worth? Any suggestions?

    Thanks, Mike Lenigan (magafike) Dover, DE

    I had to add the Cobra Light Bar Extension on to the light bar to push it out enough to clear the fairing.
    I'm not sure about the other fairings out there I here a lot of guys using the Memphis Shades.
    I went with the Xtreme because it is made of 1/4" fiberglass not plastic and it goes all the way around the headlight so it really looks like it belongs on the bike.

    I have the Xtreme Revolution Ultra Fairing it is custom designed for the VTX so there was no mounting problems what so ever. I opted on only the outer since I did not want a stereo and wanted my GPS, Ignition and gauges in there behind the fairing.
    The Bags I bought off from E-Bay they are off from a vintage Harley Shovel or Pan Head not sure which. Now on the Bags I did have to fabricate a couple of brackets and have them chromed. I thought that it awas worth it though to get the look and quaility that I wanted.
    I will get some pics posted in my stats soon.
