Dumbcomputers Honda VTX-1300 Raked 240 Chopper - v2.0

[mlleavins]

nice

[luvz2sploogeify]

how many degrees is that? i found a place online that sells a front end kit for the honda shadow and its raked up to anywhere from 9 degrees to 18degrees and i wanna see how drastic an 18 degree rake would be

[randbthug007]

I'm new to that type of rake is that

[jecole360]

Now that's the bike Honda should build!

[MrMannyvillegas]

I will do so, thanks for the tip.

[MrMannyvillegas]

By the way.... after the initial shock wore off.... I still may get those forks, i "really" like them....."A LOT". Later brother. Peace.

[dumbcomputers]

@MrMannyvillegas If you get it you'll understand the cost..it's one quality piece. Give Paul at Stumpwerx a call for it, I'm sure he can save you a bit money on it.

[wilmerpola777]

how can some one not like this bike. their haters, harley lovers

[MrMannyvillegas]

Damn!!!! :O Wooo Weee!!! You are not kidding!! I was thinking around 1,200 give or take a few, but jeez that is crazy for forks.

[MrMannyvillegas]

I love this bike, I want those forks~!! How much did they cost?? I am in Lancaster California and i am serious about those forks, I have a 1300 vtx. Thanks

[dumbcomputers]

@MrMannyvillegas Not cheap..Do a Google search on "Kewlmetal Pro Street Kit"

[Shaado86]

Very nice bike. I just bought a VTX 1300 Retro. Cant wait to customize it! I think your bike would look even better if you had some chrome on that radiator!

[dumbcomputers]

@Shaado86 This is old video, much has changed since but I haven't had the time to shoot a new video. I now have a custom made radiator cover which WAS originally chrome which was acid stripped and powder coated black with a custom stainless steel lazer cut grill.

[AVJoey]

Really awesome job!! Love the air lift! I had a stock version of this bike, found it to be a little slow, moved into a Vmax and considering raking out the front. Bike Looks Bitchin !!!

[dumbcomputers]

@AVJoey Thanks, It's my cruiser...I also own a sportbike:) The 1300 won't win you drag races but I've taken this bike (*in it's current state) up to 120MPH verified with GPS.

[dumbcomputers]

@bankofamerica2530 They are LA Choppers BFL2 bars with 4" rise and 8" pullback. The problem is that they are made for a Harley and will not fit on a stock VTX.

[intheburbs]

Dude, this is "Madness". What did this bike start out as? I've always been all about Harley. Buying this summer. But NOW,,,Now, my doubt are surfacing. What yr, make, model? Fill me in with something dude!

[dumbcomputers]

@intheburbs Thanks, It started as a 2007 Honda VTX-1300c. Check out the link of the build in the details of the video,it should give you more than enough info.

[djhotdogboy]

dumbcomputers, my research on chopping a VTX as an alternative to purchasing a Honda Fury brought me to your posts on the VTX Forum. Your bike is very, very nice! What rake do you have in the front? Thanks!

[dumbcomputers]

@djhotdogboy It's a Kewlmetal 45* Pro Street Kit. Good luck on your build

[dumbcomputers]

@djhotdogboy It's a Kewlmetal 45* Pro-Street kit. Good luck on your build.

[djhotdogboy]

@dumbcomputers - Thanks! Again, awesome bike!

[paulie1168]

all the Harley owners are crying they spent all their money on a name ,

[piscisdeags]

oralae

[TheCyoruk]

sweetest bike ever!

[axedude]

Nice Freaking Bike BRo. I have A stock 2008 1300c and im looking for ideas. thanx dude

[MrGoldfire]

simply amazing......what abike

[Philscbx]

Nicely Done DC.

Just stumbled by going, 'I know that scoot'.

One of the Classiest featured views on VTXoa.

Cheers

[tcabner]

This is simply an incredible build, very clean and very sharp! I love the air ride system. The wife and I are getting ready to purchase a VTX1300 soon and your bike has really inspired me to find a 1300C (which I liked to begin with anyways). Once the wife gets used to riding and we get another bike just for her, I can start modding the X. Your bike is the perfect overall stance and look that I'm going for, very well done!

[OutKa5t]

Love the bike. Did it start as a 1300r? If it did how did you swap the boards for pegs?

[dumbcomputers]

@OutKa5t It started out as a 1300c so it already had pegs. But on a 1300r all you have to do is swap out the foot controls from a 1300c to get rid of the boards. HTH.

[roadjunki]

WOW, This bike is amazing!!!

[DiscoK42]

looks like your radiator is similar in size to mine, "Irate" makes some cool chrome covers for it if your interested.... as if this bike needed any more chrome lol. Love the sun beams running over all the chrome @ 0:46-0:56 looks so sweet

[dumbcomputers]

Already updated it with Show Chrome's new radiator cover, which was striped of the chrome and powder coated black and a custom laser cut stainless steel grill was inserted in place of the one it came with. Check out the link in the video details for pics.

[guntherhelmbrecht]

how much do you spend in all this modifications??

[dumbcomputers]

More than the initial cost of the bike.

[djtzclark]

lay down some type of sound track,dude,  nice video.

[dantana7747]

obviously it's not 22 degrees out there ! that bike should win an acadamy award !

[FULLMOONMOTORSPORTS]

nice bike homie, saprized you went with a metal fender since most catz are going fiberglass these dayz, cuz of the cost.

[dumbcomputers]

Steel is much easier to modify. I custom cut the rear of the fender to my liking. Plus, I widen it to support up to a 260mm tire for possible future upgrade.

[FULLMOONMOTORSPORTS]

that arnott system looks pretty cool, i push a lot of legends and platinum air suspension but that arnott looks smooth.

[dumbcomputers]

It's very different then all the others, it uses a traditional oil filled shock for dampening. Can you say zero pogo effect:)

[gabagoosh]

Man I love those forks. What brand are they and what size wheel is on it?

[dumbcomputers]

It's a Kewlmetal Pro Street 45* rake kit with full length fork covers. Front wheel is a 21"x3.5" with a 120 series tire.

[klbrueggeman]

what fork covers do you use?

[dumbcomputers]

They are a part of the Kewlmetal Pro Street Rake kit. They will don't work with any other setup.

[gabagoosh]

Awesome bike bro. What year and series is it?

[dumbcomputers]

Started life as a 2007 VTX1300c with 700 miles when I bought it.

[kookaamuu]

Very nice, great work.

[melman680]

Nice work DC. You went from mild to wild on this one. Now take it to bike shows and earn some trophies for your work.
