Looks Ok to me, but its nothing Id invest the effort to build. Maybe he had some used parts laying around and thats what he came up with. It still beats walking by a long shot.

Nice looking combination.

vulcans2 · 12-15-2010, 09:21 AM

Interesting. Looks nice, though.

I think if were black you all would love it.

fatrat45 · 12-15-2010, 12:35 PM

well ya everyone knows that black is faster. i wonder if he is planing to look for a BMW or Victory trunk to go on it?

mobandy78 · 12-15-2010, 01:33 PM

The heck with black... too many people have it :).

I applaud is choice in orange. I'll eventually paint mine orange.

AlabamaNomadRider · 12-15-2010, 04:20 PM

I surprised he got everything to fit. Someone did a nice job. Orange is a nice color just not the orange they chose.

**ringadingh** · 12-15-2010, 05:32 PM

I like orange bikes as well, but not the one he chose. I like the really bright orange colour, just like a hunting jacket.

**nomadtom69** · 12-17-2010, 03:59 PM

When I decide to paint mine it will be a Tennessee Orange with a little white pinstriping. Wonder why he did'nt just buy him a New Voyager and have a good bike

**Jared** · 12-17-2010, 04:16 PM

Can anyone tell if it's a 1300 or 1800? I'm not familiar enough with the VTXs to be able to tell from his pics.

The concept is nice, but I don't think the lines flow very well.

Loafer · 12-17-2010, 04:20 PM

It's a 1300R VTX.

So it's not the power he was after.....? That was my original guess. I wonder why he didn't just get a Nomad. They, imo, are better bikes and he would have save several pennies.

My quess is he had the Honda. And decided to go after the look and convenience of the bags and fairing. Sometimes its cheaper, if you can rob the grave yards. Sometimes it is more expensive.
