I am looking for crash bars, windshild, and sissy bar and luggage rack. Any body have any ideas where the best place to get these would be. Certin honda shops seem over priced, and on line it's hard to find the sissy bar and luggage rack as a set, If they would only show them together.

The sponsor of the board, Direct Line Parts. If you find a better price on the internet save the link to the other company's page, Direct Line will beat the price. Only bad thing is since we live in Florida we have to pay sales tax.
Best thing to do is to hit some bike nights/events and check what other VTX owners have and see if you like the certain part. Passenger backrest/sissy bars and crashbars are made by Honda, Cobra and National Cycle. Windshields are made by Honda, National Cycle and Memphis Shades. Whatever part is made by Honda is usually the most expensive.
On my bike I used a National Cycle Switchblade windshield and a National Cycle Paladin Backrest. Both have very good chrome. The reason why I went with the Switchblade and Paladin is that they both are easy to remove which I do quite often when switching between riding alone or with my wifey. The hardware for the Switchblade is much better than the Memphis, so I would shy away from the Memphis Shades windshields.
