Glad to be a part of the forum, posting an introduction finally.
Bought my VTX 1800 this year. The torque over the 1300 is truly noticeable and the bike couldn't be more comfortable AND fun. On to the good stuff...
2007 VTX 1800N(N1, I think), 23k miles.
What it came with:
V&H baffled exhaust, reckless fairing, radio, (2) 5x7 speakers, crash bars, Viking hard bags, low profile passenger backrest, driver backrest, aftermarket grips, ultimate seat (the most comfortable seat my butt has ever been in, I had never fully appreciated them until now), LED underglow lights, power commander III.
What I added:
Cup holder mounted to rear foot peg mount, USB phone charger (with on/off switch to prevent unnecessary battery drain), Ram Mount phone holder next to the USB charger, new master cylinder chrome covers, mirrors, new radio with Bluetooth, LED driving/fog lights mounted to blinker stems, highway pegs, (half removal of the PCiii, full removal on a couple weeks).
Thinking of changing:
I like the look of the current bags, but I think I want bigger ones along with a quick detach system, day maker headlight with ring, quick detach fuel line from tank to pump (in 2 weeks). I think that's about it.

Ok I just seen these pictures, that is one sweet looking bike, and about the ultimate seat, I really really hope it is as good as claimed I have a corbin seat right now and my ride to daytona was a bit uncomfortable after a few hours so I ordered the ultimate with everything except the driver backrest, I figure I don't typically use it, I have it with the corbin and it just hangs on the wall. Besides if I decide I want/need it I can buy it later.

I can't begin to describe the luxurious and lush embrace of my ass by that Ultimate seat. It's no kidding like you are sitting on a high end recliner. I don't think I can ever ride a stock seat again. You won't regret it.

Side note, I upgraded to extra large viking bags. They fit the bike so much better.

in relation to the size of these saddle bags your's the same/larger or smaller. it is difficult to really get a feel for the size in pictures.

They may be pretty close to the same. Are those National City or Paladin bags? I will try to remember to upload a pic of the new bags when I get home Saturday.

Honestly I don't know, They were on the bike when I got it, They are quick detach I really love them. As to the size I can fold up my riding jacket and place it in one bag and have room for a bunch of other things, shirts, pair of shorts sandals etc. I have a 1 gallon Red gas can with the stupid new style ventless spout and that fits inside one saddle bag with room to add a few drinks and more assorted items.
