New Color (Silver pearl is the new white)

The better half just upgraded to a vtx 1300 from a shadow750. We looked for white, that`s what She wanted, but only made white in 2008. we ended up getting a 2005 with only 15,000kms. color was`Candy Durango Red`. Once the fairing came in and we made sure that everything fit properly. I took it all apart an got it painted.

Youve done a nice job, Honda has just come out with a new 1300 cruiser that looks similar to the VTX's, with bags a lot like the ones you installed.

They call it the ``Interstate`` Its VTX base, they actually have 3 different models plus the Fury, all with the 1300vtx power plant

Looks really nice. The 1300 is a great bike and has a great engine. I owned a 2007 VTX1300R and put 1100 trouble free miles on it.

We`ve always had good bikes going with Honda, but I have to say, does not come anywhere close to the nomad for ride quality.

She thinks my nomad is to big for her ;) which is a good thing, she doesn`t want to borrow it. I`m sure the day she get`s to try it, we`ll have to look for one in white/silver pearl

Your wife's new ride looks great! Coincidentally, my wife has also been tossing around the idea of trading her 750 Shadow Aero in for a VTX 1300. Seat height on those 1300s seem to be low enough for her, as is her Shadow. She likes her Shadow, so she's still pondering!

Nice looking Honda. Back in the early 70's a local builder painted a chopped pan head white. Everyone told him not to to it. Once it was done it sold in a heart beat, white looked so different with everything else being painted red black or blue.

Cindy has only had her 900 LT for 3 1/2 weeks and has over 2000 miles on it.

I put more than 1100 miles on my Nomad in the first week I owned it. I bought it on a Saturday and on Wednesday it was in getting its 600 mile service.
