I don't like the Speedometer being on the tank. I fabricated me a set of drag bars and welded my Speedometer on them. It's right where you can just keep your head up but still be able to see it. Sean you should have put a set of Vance and Hines Long shots exhaust system on it. Mine sounds amazing with them.
Why do people buy custom seats for the VTX, but then leave the horrific stock grips? It was the first thing I changed and it made the biggest difference!
I have the exact same bike that I just purchased a couple months ago. I like the digital display myself. It’s a personal preference. Love the channel as well as your other channel. Look forward to more videos.
i have owned a 2005 VTX 1800 for a few weeks now. i love this bike Vans and Hines= amazing + loud power commander is a god idea i can run up to 80 mph with little effort. transmission is solid and works well. (honda duh)
That's exactly what I did last year. 04 VTX1300c. It was a bit intimidating at first but after 1100 miles I can whip it around pretty good. Great bike! So glad I didn't go smaller as I would already be looking to trade up. The single pin crank gives it that lopey V-Twin sound and the V&H amplify it nicely.
i owned one 5 years ago and enjoyed it except it just doesn't have the sound , i ended up going back to a Kawasaki meanstreak 1600..much better sound and better breaks
lOVE MY 03 vtx 1800R. Been getting consistent 3.74 to 4 second 0-60 when stock. The trick is to not use the clutch from 1st to 2nd and do not even look for 3rd when just doing a 0-60. It is no crotch rocket it is pure badassery. Those times are cold tires cold days no burnout prior to. I figure if I cant do it on a whim no point in sayin nothin.
@@AlexTBon4073 Hope you aren't doubting his times....because I'm getting them in the same range with my 1800C. These bikes are torque monsters. They may not make the steam up top of some of the heavier hitters (VRod, M109R) but they really put the jam to the pavement in the first 1,000ft.
There are two ways to shower and to wash your socks/underwear on an epic motorcycle trip. Even small towns have them. Any “do it yourself” car wash, most even have a garage door on each end of the bay for privacy. The other choice many travelers don’t know is truck stops. Often free showers if 50 gallons or more diesel purchased if not it can be as cheap as $10 for a private shower room. You and all of your friends in your group can pass the key around for the shower room. I’ve done the car wash thing before several times. At the Indy 500 the first time because everyone was camped out. Truck stop showers many times.

You can reupholster seat yourself with the new Purple cushions and wrap it in a washable liner or just boat vinyl. Just cut them to fit and put some real good glue under it.
The Magna is like a drag racing 1000cc crotch rocket,,,,. With ground clearance to hit the twisties hard,,,,,. 750cc Cruiser,,,,,, all V,,, type Motors.. are garbage compared to a straight. 4.. or a V4. Parallel twins are the next best,. !!!!! The Magnum is a 10000 RPM engine,,,,,
Modern day Magna, I suppose? The VTX will come out of the hole harder, but it's hard to argue that Magan's V4 top end charge. It would walk away from a VTX 1800 pretty soundly on a highway run.
If I had the chance to get this bike, I totally would. But...I will agree, I do not like the digital speedometer on this bike. I like the look of the bike with the original speedometers for typical cruising bikes. I just don't think it fits the style of the bike myself. Being said, I wouldn't/don't hate the digital speedometer on the Honda Goldwing. It just...fits the bike. LOL I guess you could say "If it fits, it ships!" XD
Me thinks you no realize the raider is a newer bike. I also think you do not realize how important the skills of a rider are when racing someone. You would lose to my VTX and if hell froze over and you did win I would jump on my Valkyrie and smoke ya ass.
roger hurd you should seek help you take a statement about motorcycle performance way to personally. get all butthurt about the raider having better performance. it's a true statement. know it for a fact. pushed both of them across the back ass mountain roads. Nobody is impressed with your "you know bestness".
always mount your horse on left side! shawn drives nuts gets on bikes on right side everytime! would like to request you honk each bikes horn when test drive.

Digital dashboards are great! I love mine on my 2000 Helix, don't know why the get a bad rap?
Keep doing the words of wisdom man. Love your videos and reviews

Love it. Got an 02 C model. 1800. Perfect.
Loved my 1800R! Might just have to buy another.

Dude, I just subscribed and it gives me great pleasure to hear you read a verse. I hope my next purchaser, whenever it is, can be through you!
pro tip: you can watch series on kaldrostream. Been using it for watching loads of movies lately.
@Bodie Tripp yea, been using flixzone} for months myself =)
Gettin the vtx 1300 as my first bike! Got my eyes on a few..
vtx 1300 handles and sounds way better.. trust me

Does the VTX 1800 have better stopping power than the VTX 1300 or Shadow Sabre 1100, for that matter?
Yep
Amen Shawn!!! I love my VTX 1800C, but I love Jesus Christ more! thanks for all your vids!

i like how you stride over the bike to get on. 0:34
funny stuff dude channel motivates me to make money lol
I want that bike! Wow.
Love my 04 VT1100C but 2 up is a bit much for her. Bet your 1800 is great for 2 up.
My vt was great 2 up plenty of power

It’s faster than a sportbike to 100 tho. I walk them off the line. They have the top end. But by 100 I’m letting off. Lol
What gloves are you wearing? Thanks.
Sean Thomas these are leather work gloves
Top of the line dude
I wear these lol
A great lesson in life is to learn to want what you have, not have what you want.

No such thing as a nice Corbin seat !!! Leather covered brick.

Looks like the $20 deerskin gloves from Home Depot.
Just kidding here, but they remind me of latex dish gloves lol

I have exact same color
I don't see a v65 magna
Thank you for mentioning Jesus Christ in all your videos god bless
