VTX 1300 HK 3" Pipes Exhaust

This is a video clip I made of what my pipes sound like both from behind the bike & while riding.

They are Hard Krome (HK) 3" long pipes.

A pair valve removal is basically removing the Cadillac converter in a motorcycle. Just allows for less gurgling and deaccel pop on aftermarket pipes.

I did not install an aftermarket air filter & I did not rejet the bike.

I highly recommend checking out the forums at www.vtxoa.com in order to read tons about VTX's and for links and comments about other vtx modifications.

Also on that site you will find VTX Rider Groups for each state which will bring together fellow riders for those who really want to hear what other exhausts sound like.

Enjoy! And thanks for the great comments.

what kind of saddle bags and rear seat back do you have?

[mrhudock]

@arichard487 The backrest is part of the seat which was a Corbin Dual Tourer seat. Honestly, I don't remember the name band of those bags. I had them attached using ghost brackets.

Which pipes are these? the 3" Big Straights or the 3" Res-tech? thanks

[mrhudock]

@kylelaird21 just the 3" straights.

Ever thought about trading the VTX in for a CBR or a GSXR 1000? After riding one of these you'll think that VTX is a childs toy.

[mrhudock]

Hah! If you saw my other videos you would see I went from a Ninja 500, to a Suzuki 900. And quite honestly, those are toys compared to my vtx!

Nice vid, very nice sound and nice to see someone having fun ;-)

[anx1300c]

What an ignorant comment. How can you compare a sportbike and a cruiser? I owned a CBR and a GSXR. I grew out of the sportbike thing; too much temptation.

[Yand4]

What ... a ... sound... Man, u should be proud.

[carvelliutube]

Dude, great bike, great pipes...I have an '04 1300 retro (dont know what year yours is) and I have the same pipes on....What a great combination, your bike sounds great...just a couple recommendations here: you may get a bit more boom boom pop, boom boom pop, boom boom pop at idle if you adjust your idle control knob below the air filter, or install a A/F adjustment screw...just thought I'd share that with you...again, great sound outa these pipes with our bikes...checkout vtxoa.com for more

How much do those pipes run? What a great warm thunder sound...

[MagnumPI4]

@bjkimmell ha i have to tell u i have cobras on my 1300 and i hate to say it but i think these sound better

[bjkimmell]

Great sound man! I was thinking about the Cobra Swept but now I'm having second thoughts.

[billburrsucs]

@pbmax CBR and GSXR are the kids toys, I had a CBR F4i, I got too old for it, I moved up to a VTX 1300R Mans cruiser. i couldn't have bought a better ride... next bike, Gold wing, but Ive got a few years before that happens.

Wanted to thank you again for this video, I bought a set right after I saw this. You can see my videos by searching mhill911 on youtube.
