2003 Honda VTX1800C Custom – SN555

Honda VTX1800C – Full Professional Custom Build

A True One-of-a-Kind Cruiser, Built for Power, Presence, and Precision

This is not your average Honda VTX1800C.
Professionally custom-built by its previous owner and recently given a full facelift by us here at American Cruiser UK, this machine has had countless hours of expert craftsmanship poured into it. The result? A muscular, head-turning, high-performance cruiser that’s ready to dominate the road — with comfort, style, and sheer V-twin brute force.

A Legend at Its Core – The VTX1800C

Honda’s VTX1800C was a game-changing entry into the big cruiser scene — boasting the largest production V-twin of its time, a monstrous 1795cc 52-degree liquid-cooled engine producing 88.9 hp and a tree-stump-pulling 100.3 lb-ft of torque. It delivers quarter-mile times in the low 12s, high-speed stability at 120+ mph, and a deep, authoritative exhaust note that rumbles without shouting. Smooth, refined, yet raw when you ask for it, the VTX was designed for those who demand power, style, and long-haul comfort in one package.

Custom Build Highlights

This particular VTX1800C has been transformed far beyond factory spec — blending street rod aggression with modern custom detailing:

• SUMO Wide Rear End Conversion
  Designed to house an extra-wide rear wheel, the SUMO kit replaces the factory swingarm and related components with heavy-duty, precision-engineered parts. It increases stability, enhances road presence, and allows for fitment of huge tyres without compromising alignment or ride quality.
  Fitted with a brand-new Avon Cobra 240 rear tyre, complete with new bearings and spacers for absolute smoothness and safety.

• Custom Fibreglass Rear Fender
  Sculpted to showcase the wide rear tyre and flow seamlessly with the bike’s muscular stance.

• Lowered Progressive Rear Shocks
  Enhancing the bike’s aggressive profile and improving handling dynamics while maintaining comfort.

• Braking Upgrade
  Front and rear Nissin calipers have been professionally refurbished and powder-coated in a rich gold finish to match the custom theme.
  Brand-new custom brake discs front and rear.
  New brake and clutch reservoirs with fresh fluids throughout.

• Steering & Controls
  Drag-style handlebars with new grips for confident control.
  New satin black mirrors and discreet custom indicators with an LED strip rear brake light.

• Hypercharger Intake System
  Fitted with a performance hypercharger, improving airflow to the engine for sharper throttle response, stronger acceleration, and an even more aggressive intake sound — complementing the bike’s raw V-twin power.

• Paintwork
  Finished in Mazda Titanium Flash — a unique graphite tone with a subtle brown hue, delivering a deep, sophisticated sheen under any light.

• Seat & Trim
  Single custom-made seat in Alcantara and carbon-fibre-effect leather, finished with gold stitching to tie in with the brake calipers.

• Engine & Powder Coating
  Engine block refinished in satin black.
  Multiple components powder-coated in gloss black, including wheels, handlebars, fender stays, Cobra exhausts, and rare engine covers.

• Suspension & Front End
  Front forks rebuilt with new seals, refinished in satin black.
  Triple trees detailed in silver for contrast.

• Mechanical Refresh
  New OEM water pump with fresh coolant installed for optimal performance.

• Additional Details
  Brand-new front pegs, new accessories, and a finish that leaves nothing overlooked.

Why This Bike Stands Out

Unlike many customs, this build has been completed to high professional standards — no shortcuts, no mismatched parts, no ‘almost finished’ jobs. Every detail has been thought through for both style and function. The SUMO rear end conversion alone transforms the stance and handling, while the careful blend of gloss black, satin black, and gold detailing makes this VTX visually striking without being overdone. Add the performance hypercharger, and you’ve got a cruiser that not only looks the part but breathes and pulls like a true street beast.

In Summary

If you want a Honda VTX1800C that not only harnesses the incredible torque and presence of the original but elevates it with serious custom craftsmanship and performance upgrades, this is your bike. From the massive rear tyre to the bespoke seat, from the performance braking system to the flawless paintwork and hypercharger-enhanced engine response, this machine is a showcase of what happens when time, skill, and passion come together.

It’s more than just a ride — it’s a statement.
