Hello all I'm wanderingbear a member of the VTX Cafe. I ride a cutom 05 1800R. I would like to welcome the new breed of riders to the fold. I won't have much advise for these bikes but I will be reading and learning with you. Ray(BigX has created a wonderful place for you, enjoy it and reach out to others in your area for meet and greets you'll find great people on his forums. Ray himself is a great person to meet and ride with, good luck to all.
