    I have a 2006 vtx 1300c that has a few mods done to it. It ran pretty well until I left the valve on for a couple of weeks and it leaked. I did a whole tune up; sparks, oil, coolant, carb rebuild, And I left the mods. I found a whole new petcock for the same price as a rebuild kit but im not...

    I’ve just performed a “Penta Micro Air Box Mod”, but in my case it is only a “triple” micro mod, as I only added three scoops to my air box. http://www.vtxcafe.com/showthread.php/101618-Airbox-Mod!-quot-Penta-Micro-Charger-quot-15-tunable-and-nice-performance-gain I will be doing the “Hole...

    OK, so I'm relatively new to VTX's, got mine about a month ago and have been loving it and this forum as well. My bike is an 03 1800 C, and it came to me with quite a few mods already -- lots of chrome, pipes, seat, etc... One mod in particular that stands out to me, is the front headlight/turn...

    Has anyone heard of (I'm sure many have), or done the Scar Mod on your X? If so, how much of a difference did it make? I was searching for instructions and reviews and found some vague answers. I did find this video and it helped a lot, but I'm wondering if this is all I would need to do, or is...

    I'm sure somewhere this question has been asked and answered but I am wondering if anyone has ever taken off the mufflers and heat shields on their 1300 and welded straight pipes on and wrapped with exhaust wrap? If so, how did they sound? For you guys that are more mechanically inclind- Are...

    A few new grills are on there way. A couple are custom art orders, mostly because I can't sell copyrighted or licensed designs, but a couple are for everyone. Besides these, there is a fallen soldier set, a stanley cup, a flaming skull, a VTX (1300 or 1800) set, and a machine-cut lexan...

    Folks, I really appreciate your interest in my cover mods and grills over the past few years. I apologize for not responding to your email requests and PMs over the past few months. What was planned as a one-month shutdown had to become a 3-month shutdown due to family, fulltime career, and...

    I finally got it done! Well maybe that should be that I finally did something about the mess on my rear fender. When I got the bike in 2008 I knew some things had been changed but was not quite sure of what all the modifications were. But I got a little shock when we went to put the plates on...

    Has anybody tried to just cut out the entire black plate and pull the tail pipe from the 1300 C slash pipes? I imagine it would be similar to a kiwi mod, but no removal of the tip, and there's still the first baffle untouched. I'm curious to see if it would look and sound right.

    I am sorry but this is one of my biggest pet peeves about my VTX 1300 R besides the rear fender but thats another story all together. (Space Ship) So when flipping on the high beam at night the indicator light is so bright it is hard to see the road and thus I dont use high beem. Anyone else...

    Greetings, all. I live in SW Virginia, in Roanoke to be precise. I am interested in doing some of the mods described in many of the topics listed here. However, I have limited mechanical skill, and I am reluctant to perform any of the alterations without seeing it done, first. Is there anyone...

    Ok, got home from work today, gave the lawn a haircut, then got started on tearing into my carb.....Cut the big spring down to 5-1/4", went with 2 shims on the needle, and started at 2-1/4 turns out on the a/f screw....Put it back together, and went for a ride to see how she runs....For the...
  16. Performance Upgrades/Mods
    You may have just purchased a new exhaust and/or air intake and are wondering how you should "tune" the carburetor. First off if you just "fire the bike up" with the new parts installed, THE BIKE WILL RUN. Depending on how "free flowing" the aftermarket parts are that you installed the bike will...
