use google and figure out what mm your tubes are, go from there.

I know the triples on my shadow like 41mm, don't know what the vlx stock clamps like

I did a quick look, and the basis of what I found is based on wiki says the VLX is also known as vt600c. If that is incorrect, stop reading. If correct, read on.

I went to this place, and found the part number:
OEM Parts : Babbitts Honda Parts House

The part seems to be: 51400-MBS-701

Then, I googled that part number, and partzilla showed this list of bikes that use these forks:
51400-MBS-701 FORK ASSY., R. FR.

Then, I found this:
2003 Honda VT600CD Front Forks and Complete Triple Tree | eBay

Good luck.
