Just curious would you take a look at the right side chrome fork tube cover and tell me if it has a dent in it?

Then that's my old VTX.  I bought back in 2007 with only 7 miles on the clock from Wild West Honda.  The chrome side covers I purchased and installed the chrome Honda emblem.  My key had a fob on it and caused that round ring rubbed on it. 

I'll find my old temp plate and take a pic to show the VIN.  Good to see the bike is back on the forum.

and if I'm not mistaken the top chrome fork covers have some imperfections because it used to have a paladin wind deflector with the quick mounts.  

It has been desmogged and I sent the exhaust to VTXexhaust.com and had them gut it out and returned to me.

WOW, imagine that, me posting on a thread where you was just talking about wanting it back. According to Larry, he only put 500 miles on it in the time he had it. Guy had 2 other VTX's and about 5 other bikes. Please forgive my being forward, or inconsiderate, but do you have any accessories left over for it? Lol, I'm sorry, that sounds a little cras

Small world.  Glad to see it's been taken care of and if I had any parts leftover they would be all yours.  I actually stripped it back down before trading it and a fella from Austin bought everything that came off it.

That is pretty cool and strange at the same time.  I wonder if my old VTX is out there for sale.

When I decided to purchase that bike it wasn't even at the dealer yet.  Roy Worthy told me that a Honda rep had just stopped by the day before I showed up and asked if they wanted a truckload of crated unopened VTX's.  Of like 10 they got this was the only Neo in a Spec 3.  I was going from a Shadow 750 to this behemoth.

I have a Woody's fairing and a set of Honda Line leather bags that I took off of my 07 Neo before I traded it in last February.  The fairing has 2 windshields, a 3 pocket pouch, a cigarette lighter port for charging, radio and speakers.  I also bought an amp that I never installed.

I also bought a set of chrome lowers that I never opened.

Let me know if you are interested in anything...
