Hello everyone! A while back i got a 2007 Shadow Spirit 750, and i kind of wanted something bigger after driving it a while. (although it is a great/fun bike, don't get me wrong) More then that, i wanted better seats, highway bars, a windshield, etc... The works.
So instead of spending a couple thousand on upgrades, i decided to just find a BIGGER bike that already had all the upgrades i wanted. Surprising i found one within a week of looking AND i got it for only $200 more then i got my 750 for! It was meant to be i guess. =)
My new Bike is a 2004 Honda VTX 1300c. It came with Mustang Seats w/ driver backrest, sissy bar, Cobra exhaust, Cobra Floor Boards, Highway bar w/ pegs, windshield, windshield bag and saddlebags. (but the saddlebags have a broken zipper and are currently off for repair..)
When I first got the Bike, it was running slightly poorly. Bogged down a little on start, shifted kind of hard, etc.. So, i ran some sea-foam in the last two tanks of gas, changed the oil with Amsoil full synthetic, changed the spark plugs, air filter, final drive oil, lubed everything, and drained the crankcase breather. Now it runs excellent!
Anyways, just thought i would share! =)
