I think the apes on the Vrod are pretty sweet, too.

I would ride that thing to death and be proud of it. How much of that is stock, and how much is custom?

I'm planning on taking a 2011 V-rod for a test ride this Saturday. Local dealer is having open house. Should be a big difference compared to the Ultra.

Don't crack the throttle while non-chalantly hanging on like you would on your Glide. Your a$$ will be sitting in the road while the VRod continues on without you.

If it was a chick, I wouldn't do her. What's even worse are baggers with apes..totally ridiculous. Only thing worse is a Rocker.
