I've been riding bikes since '70s.  Bought 02 VTX 1800C last May, 7000kms on it so far.  It was silver when I bought it.  I painted it endura red metalic last winter.  Got standard stuff- windsheild, Max and Willie bags (full set), kuryakin grips and highway pegs, pass. foot boards, cobra sissy, rack, and throttle lock.  I just found this site and it looks great as I'm bike nuts.
