Advice to passengers: Hang on! Not only does the VTX have the go-go to rip you from the pillion; hitting bumps will have you headed for the sky. Happily, the removable pillion seat is well cushioned and long enough to offer some flexibility. The footpegs, which easily unbolt from the VTX without much effort, are positioned more rearward than we'd like. The pegs attach behind a convenient frame strut, and once removed, the mounting method is invisible -- an innovative style perk.

We love the billet risers with the integrated speedo/LED odometer. The plastic indicator housing on the tank doesn't suit the bike's stature .

2002 Honda Vtx 1800C Accessories View.Jpeg
Honda plans a host of accessories available for its new flagship cruiser, including a custom detachable windshield, sleek leather saddlebags and a passenger backrest and luggage rack for those raring to hit the road. To give the big gun a street-fighter look there is this hot-looking, color-matched cowl system for headlight and radiator (sold separately). Thirteen Honda-built billet parts are already on their way to your dealer -- from a timing and crankshaft cover set to a billet dipstick. You can change out some of the plastic parts with chrome and add chrome floorboards or a light bar to the beast. Of course this is only the beginning. Aftermarket manufacturers are scurrying to build bits for this bike now that it's finally on the street. As the customizing platform headlining the awakening of a new performance era for cruisers, the VTX will not be wanting for parts.
