luvmy40 Posted May 7, 2019 Share #1 Posted May 7, 2019 My oldest Daughter's in laws were recently involved in a low speed, head on collision with a car. They are both recovering. OK would be an exaggeration. They will be be OK in a few months. Their son and I would like to fix their 2006 Honda VTX 1300 for them. We need a complete front end. Fork tubes, triple trees, fender, front wheel, etc. If anyone has a line on any parts on the cheap for this, I'd really appreciate a heads up.

gmarshall Posted May 7, 2019 Share #2 Posted May 7, 2019 (edited) Check the vtx forum. They have classifieds. http://www.vtxoa.com G Edited May 8, 2019 by gmarshall Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djh3 Posted May 8, 2019 Share #3 Posted May 8, 2019 (edited) Also double check the frame right at fork mount to make sure not paint is cracking, which would indicate the neck is bent. Heres a $3200 parts bike in GC with 14k miles Edited May 8, 2019 by djh3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luvmy40 Posted May 8, 2019 Author Share #4 Posted May 8, 2019 The frame looks good. I'll check those links. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cowpuc Posted May 8, 2019 Share #5 Posted May 8, 2019 Been out of the restores for a bit but it used to be that the metric scoot necks/steer stems were pretty much interchangable one scoot to another. A little digging research may show you could swap on a front end off a Vulcan or Intruder or even another VTX of different size if you wanted (may require steer stem bearing swaps) = be warned though that HD uses a larger stem and non interchangable = otherwise even a Sporty front end would work. Simple as pulling the stem nuts, dropping the front end and sliding on a different front end. There was always a "standard" in OEM fork height/length = 30 inches from center of axle to top of triple tree comes to mind so fork height may even be completely interchangable. Get the whole thing as a set and you wont have to worry about tube diameters and all that = just note what bike it came off from for future parts purchases. There are numerous bike yards around, I may be able to find my rolodex somewhere from my shop desk of yesteryear that had lists of them if you need some names but I am sure google would work nowadays. Also, if you look in a current Auto-RV in the crashed car section, some of those yards list totalled bikes and not all the totaled scoots have twisted front ends.. In our area (Grand Rapids) there is a big yard that has TONS of scoots and they advertise in Auto Trader occasionally. Just some thoughts 40.. Glad those In-Laws of your daughters are ok brother!! All the best in getting the VTX back on its feet while they work on healing of their own! Puc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he needs a front wheel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
