I am riding a VTX 1800 N.
My part number is 77340MCVN10.
Will the 77340MCV000 model, which was used on the S or R models, fit?
Could the rear tire be affecting this?
If anyone has experienced this phenomenon, please help me.
I just got a 07 VTX1300 for $1500. Its a great bike other than that it can only run with the choke pulled all the way out. I think this is beacause the carb is dirty and is running lean. Can any one confirm and what will I need to do the job? Thanks!
So… the bolt holding my Kuryakyn engine guard on my clutch side - snapped. And snapped clean off.
I cannot for the life of me drill a hole into this screw to be able to back it out with a reverse threaded drill bit.
What other options or products might you all be aware of for me to try to remedy this sad sad problem?
When running, whether flipped to on or reserve, steady drips gas out of that small hole in the center of the left side. It does not leak if not running, and if I take the gas cap off and run it, it does not leak. Is this petcock just failing and need rebulit/replaced or is it something else? The not leaking with the gas cap off is the only reason Im questioning it being the petcock. Thanks!
Well. I finished the build and less than 24 hrs later got ran off the road. Came around a curve and dude was in my lane. So now I’m on the hunt for a tank or options that will fit. Anyone got any ideas or spare tanks laying around 🥴
I recenly bought a 2005 VTX 1300 at auction and got a great deal as the bike only has 2500 miles. I took it for a test ride and it ran great but my overheat light came on once I got back into the neighborhood at lower speeds. I found that my radiator fan isn't kicking on. I am pretty sure I am going to need to replace the fan/motor. How can I be sure it is the fan motor and not something else before buying the part? Also can I buy a cheaper fan motor or do I need an OEM fan motor? Any advice or input is appreciated
I didn't realize until now that the 1800s have inverted forks to the 1300 any particular reason for this? What are the benefits?
Hey there, long time lurker first time commenter!
I've been interested in buying a Memphis shades fairing but the only options they have for the VTX i personally hate. I'm very mechanically inclined but usually steer away from electrical.
Has anyone switched out there front headlight to a harley or similar sized one? Was it easy or do you have any advice or found any guide that would help me? I don't expect a direct plug and play option but just curious if it would be worth the headache.
Thanks! I'm loving this community, you guys have some beautiful bikes!
Is there any windshield or batwing fairings that would match my bike color ? I am trying to find some online , but not having luck.Would like to know if it would even look good with a windshield while keeping on the fairing that’s on the headlight ? Just looking for ideas on what I can do to reduce wind a little bit if I’m on the interstate .
I have looked and looked and not gotten good answers or explanations or am able to tell if my forks are covered or exposed ? Can someone help please ? Thanks
Just rebuilt the clutch slave cylinder with a rebuild kit from Dennis Kirk. I noticed the bike was dripping oil when running for a while if the outside air temp was over 90 or so. I took the plate off and noticed that the oil didn't smell like engine oil and eventually traced the leak back to the weep hole in the slave cylinder (I went for a ride with the plate off, parked the bike, cleaned the area, and waited to see if I coud find a droplet). The repair itself was straight forward as outlined in the service manual except that I had to clean out a lot of gummy fluid mixed with aluminum corrosion dust. I had to bleed more fluid through it that I would have thought before the lever got stiff again. I'm only posting this to help people out who may be slightly 'mechanically challenged' and had never done one of these like me. If anyone comes across this post now or many years later, please comment if you have questions and if I still have a reddit account I will answer.
