Might want to learn some parking skills.


Have a 04 VTX 1300C that just hit 24k miles.  Bike is responsive but VERY finicky in cold weather since it is liquid cooled.  Best gas mileage I've received is 47 mpg but average low 40s.  Great feature has oil filter under bike, easy access, no chrome removal, which makes changing you oil simple.  Be very careful with tank since the paint is very thin and scratches easy.

Use as a daily commuter and avoid all the Wild Hog weekenders.

my father has the EXACT same bike. my only complaint is the boards and brackets are too low. I caught a bracket in a crack while turning left through an intersection and it kicked the rear tire ~3ft in the air in a turn

wow.  

I have scratched the boards in a turn, but nothing that bad.  I could see a crack doing that.

It's a great bike.

Still no Falarak here?

Oh man it is a beast of a machine................180 HP and is a 200+ factory bike.....


I have already installed a Power Commander III /USB, Speedo Healer and I am about to install a X-TRE to take off the speed limiter and use the 4th gear timing in all gears .

So far but no pictured I have already put on a set of Yoshimura Carbon Fiber TRC slip-ons and full underseat fender eliminator......looks very sharp!




Do you ride a sportbike?
