RE: Springer Pictures ~ ENOUGH!!!

I wish that I could help you out with the dilema that you are in, but, no offense, I don't really feel very comfy on a v-rod. I understand the comtemporary thing, but has she ever tried ridding any of the other models to see how they feel to her? I have found sometimes, that a person can't force their ideas on others, they have to make their own decision on what they want to ride. If she is happy with what she is ridding, maybe she will ride more and enjoy it more. Just my 2cts worth, good luck.

RE: Springer Pictures ~ ENOUGH!!!

Thanks for the input SPRINGER ... She's never taken any other bike for a test ride - just the Sportster. It's kinda tough because she's so small (5'3). EVERYBODY she spoke with told her that the Sportster was too top-heavy for her and that she would be more comfortable/confident on a Dyna or a Fatboy .... Bought the Sportster anyway. She's got it in her head (and trust me on this .... She ain't gonna change her mind) that she's gettin' a V-Rod. So guess what??? I'm 99.9% sure that we're gettin' one!! Nothin' I say is gonna change this.

I just don't want her to get hurt. I've heard bad things.

Would it help her out if she took the v-rod for a test run? A little story. I heard a lot of bad things about jeeps. I bought a CJ5 26 years ago and I have never regretted it. I find it best to do my own thinking about things, but I also listen to others for imput than make my own decision. I know that you don't want her to get hurt, that's natural, but maybe the v-rod will surprise you and she will be Okay. The test ride might be just what the Dr. ordered. Just have her take it slow and easy and see what happens, good luck.

RE: The Springer Picture Thread

Iron.Cowboy, really like the look of the headlight. I have an '05 FLSTSC also, black pearl. I have been looking for a different head light to give mine a more authentic look also. How much modification did you have do to make it work? Springerfan
