If I was to name my bike it would probably be Seven (of nine). because it's got some nice curves
Great so far. Still needs some breaking in since the previous owner didn't get much ride time on it. Sometimes I forget I have a new seat cause I'm not constantly readjusting myself like I had to do when I had the stock seat.

I don't really have a name for it. I just refer to it as the bike or my bike. However, my buddy has a V Rod and I like to call my bike the "V Rod Killer" when we hang out. His stage 1 V Rod and my bike are very closely matched. Its a riders race. sometimes I win, sometimes he wins and sometimes we are just neck and neck. That said, its not really a V Rod killer, I just like to get in my buddies head before any runs.

Well I'm glad you are liking it. I have to stop after an hour and and a half, max... or it's painful. Tailbone area. Becoming less so the more miles I put on it but I'm thinking the vintage solo would be better for me. Shame because the tripper seat is the best looking solo seat they make. Cheers dude.... it looks right on your bike.

First time I rode it I got off and said "what a machine!", ever since then it's been "the machine".

After I bought my second Harley we named them:
2012 Red TriGlide: ‘Big Red”
2017 Blue RoadKing: “Lil Blue”...although it’s not that little.
