Honda Motorcycle VTX1300
Description
Well cared for beautiful riding bike.
I bought from the original owner in 2013, 3000kms. Majority of my riding is cruising.
Never been dropped, No accidents, excellent running condition and has a complete maintenance log, listing everything done to the bike.
I have fully serviced this bike every year before storing it in my garage for the winter.
Accessories:
Windshield, saddle bags, back rest, helmet lock and floorboards come standard on this Model T
I added, engine guards, leather document pouch, grip protectors, handle bar riser, cup holder, rear luggage rack, cigarette lighter plug, clutch pull reducer and memory foam seat cushion.
Maintenance upgrades:
The steering yoke OEM bearing on the 1300 is a ball bearing. This bearing is pron to wearing and causing a front wheel wobble. I replaced it with the VTX1800 style, roller bearing which is much better for this type of loading on the front yoke.
The rear shock bushings wore and caused sloop in the rear suspension. I replaced them with the Nylon ones used on the 1800. Shouldn't have to worry about them again.
The clutch "Pull Reducer" is a clever mod of Clutch lever that provides mechanical advantage to reduce the clutch pull by 50%.
I switched to Synthetic AMS oil when I bought the bike and I have changed oil after every riding season.
