I just upgraded the lights on my kawasaki, so I got all this worked out.

  • First, a reference for the bulbs your bike takes: https://www.superbrightleds.com/vehicle/2007-honda-vtx1300c-vehicle-led-lights?make=32&model=3563&year=2007
  • Front turn signals- I wanted to use my front signals as running lights, so I got these white/amber 1157 bulbs (it says it fits the 7528 sockets on your bike) and clear lenses. These will be white lights, then when you turn on the turn signal the white on that side goes out and blinks amber: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07JC7233R/.
  • amber/amber 1157/7528 bulbs if you don't want white/amber: https://www.amazon.com/iBrightstar-Newest-Bright-Projector-replacement/dp/B071FB824J
  • clear/smoke turn signal lenses for your bike: optional, but I like the look: https://www.amazon.com/Krator-Signal-Lenses-Indicator-Blinkers/dp/B016N2H60A
  • Main headlight: I actually kept this halogen because H4 LED headlight bulbs were too expensive and I couldn't mount them in my headlight bucket without modification. This one's more than bright enough for me, I'm really happy with it. I don't feel like I'm blinding oncoming traffic with this one but the lowbeam is brighter than my high beam used to be. But if you still want to, look for an H4 LED bulb, but I don't recommend it. I'd rather replace the bucket if I went that route. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000CR3UW6
  • Tail light bulb: red/red 1157 (says it fits 7528, your bike's size) LED bulb: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01MY4T4BU/
  • Rear turn signals: amber 1156 (says it fits the 7506 socket) LED: I actually didn't use these, for a reason I'll explain below. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0739RCR3J/
  • Turn Signal Relay: You may need this to fix a problem with the bulbs flashing really fast. The reason it does that is because it expects a certain power draw, but the LEDs draw less power, so it thinks a bulb is out. When that happens the turn signals flash really fast. This replacement relay is designed to fix that and the page says it aught to work on your bike. Installation on your bike should be easy: you have to find your stock turn signal relay, unplug it, and plug this one in. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00RM26LXO
  • Some quick googling said the turn signal relay "Should be under the right side cover. The one in rubber with the plug in the "back" is the fuel relay the other one has a plug srait in the bottom, thats the one for the blinkers." I hope that makes sense when you get into the bike, check with VTX owner forums for more info.
  • All 4 turn signals lighting at once- this is something that happened with my bike, again because the power draw was different the bike didn't want to differentiate between left and right turn signals so both sides would light up. I found out if you leave at least one regular bulb in the system, it would behave normally and switch between left and right. That's why I didn't use LED rear turn signals- I can live without those being LEDs. The alternative solution I read was soldiering some resistors into the turn signal indicator circuit, which is above my technical capabilities/confidence. It's your call if you want to go that route, I'm happy enough with my setup (I actually uploaded the demo videos on the amazon page for the relay and white/amber LEDs so you can see how it behaves.)

    For the fast/4-way flashing issues, I can't say if they will effect your bike. I have a feeling they will, and if they do you know how to address them. All in this upgrade runs about 90 bucks, minus 17 if you decide to stick with halogen rear turn signals.

    Good lord that's a long post

Sounds like you’re doing everything right, I have not hesitated to use a higher concentration of seafoam but it feels like a rebuild is in your future.

Rebuilding the Carbs isn’t difficult and YouTube is full of exact videos on how to do this probably for your exact bike too.

Having a nice, clean well lit work surface is important, Spread out a light colored towel to keep small pieces from rolling, disassemble and lay the parts out exactly as you take them apart, do them one at a time so you still have another carb for reference on how it goes back together. Wear nitrile gloves, good dexterity and saves you hands.

Examine the numbers on your jets so you can get a kit with the same exact parts in it, we don’t know if anything was changed in the past.

Use a good carb cleaner and a stiff toothbrush, not a wire brush. Put your float in a container with gas to be sure they float, take a pic and compare to how the other float floats, pretty important. In fact, taking many pictures along the way is highly recommended.

With two carbs, you may be able to sync them without tools, but a dual vacuum meter setup is the way to go, here’s one.

People have said you're asking for a book, and they're literally right.

The company has been around since 1903 (upstarts! Triumph since 1902! :) so there have been a lot of bikes.

Well, I just spent the time from my last message to now doing a ton of research. I went ahead and ordered some stuff from amazon. The rear sprocket and the front sprocket.

Ill let you know how it goes once theyre received and installed. May as well get the most of the bike, regardless of how long I have it :)

I just finished (literally got back this afternoon) a two week tour on a largely stock 1994 Virago 750. I added saddlebags, a sissy bar bag and tossed on a tent, sleeping bag and a $8 inflatable mattress from Walmart. The tent, bag and mattress played a bigger part in comfort as a backrest than anything else I've done. No highway pegs or windshield and still has the original seat.

How do you like those saddle bags? I'm tempted to change my leather bags to a fabric, like these.

I have a V-Star 1100, and I got one of the $50 passenger backrests with luggage rack from Amazon. It's solid, although nothing special. The pad is simple, backed with a piece of internal plywood with a foam pad covered in "leather." But it's held up for over 2 years, almost half of that outside. Assembly was a bit tight, and I relied on tightening the screws after mounting to get everything to fit snug, but it's still fine.

Specifically, it's this one:

And it was $80, plus shipping, although that exact item is no longer available.

This little feller has saved me half a dozen times and stranded travelers on the side of the road at least twice as much. You've got no excuse with those saddle bags. Pick one up and fill it up for a buck and forget about it. Boy scout shops will have one for about the same price if you don't want to wait for shipping.

The look like these . If so repaint the suckers pretty fast with something UV protecting. I had some on my shadow and ripped them back off a few weeks ago. After two years they faded something horrible.
