A question for the 1800 owners
« on: November 22, 2011, 01:08:09 AM »
Just curious.
What does it mean when someone says their VTX 1800 is spec 1, spec 2 or spec 3?
What are the differences?

Yep, what David said.  I know that my spec 3 Neo, has the chome radiator cover, high polished wheels, chrome fork upper covers, polished triple trees, and few other things.

Oh and its faster than a spec 1 or 2 put together.
