I was wondering what performance upgrades are available for the 1300 engine? Doe anyone make an after market cam? Please help; i feel the need for MORE speed.:choppersm
Well said Mort, I don't understand why the people who want to have a bike as fast as a crotch rocket didn't buy one. Maybe they didn't spend enough time test driving bikes before getting one. Personally the 1800 has more speed and acceleration than I'll ever fully use. I don't like a bike I need to lay on the tank and shift behind me anyway.You can always go http://www.efrracing.com/hondaVTX1800Turbo.html

But generally speaking I'd prefer a crotch rocket if I need to get my 1800 to be faster than it is... first things first, change what you wish, like pipes... perhaps a Hypercharger (some claim helps a little with power) intake...
Take it to a good dyno machine and have them tune up your ride... it'll definitely improve its performance... beyond that... spends gobs of money on a nitrous system (which will likely ruin your engine over a much shorter period of time), gobs of money on a turbo system like above, or get a spare ride (crotch rocket).
Happy hunting.

Oh Crap....you didn't just type that on your outdoor keyboard....Oops.:banghead:Must remember my manners when speaking with a lady, I personally love your paint job Angel, and i'm positive it would look great in my mirrors. :bleh:
I have this. I like it. Am at 69HP and 78TQ. Gotta love all the guys who can't even stay on track about the right motorcycle bashing the guy who wants to tweak his ride.http://www.aftcustoms.com/images/VTX_1.jpg AFT Customs Performance Kit for VTX 1300. Cams and Pistons 11:1 ratio. Easy mod to do, only down side is you have to send him your cams to get reground. So bike down for that time about a week.
Ive been going on poker and benefit rides with my 1300 and It seems when we come up to a stop and turn everyone gets on it and I'm the passer, No Harley has passed me so why would you need more.
We have what is called the Chosen Few bike gang in our town and they have complimented my bike.
I am interested in the cams to have a more lopey Idle if they do that. As far as the pistons I'm not interested.
