Road Rod
Saw this in Daytona this weekend.... A Vrod Road Glide. I'm thinking I might want to build one. Brackets are available through Drag Specialties. Fairing is HD parts. Need some thoughts & opinions!!!![IMG][/IMG]

RE: Road Rod
I've seen the Vrod with baggs and I still dont like it. It still looks like a vrod with baggs. What I think they need to do is to put the revolution motor on a road glide, that I would like.

RE: Road Rod
I saw one in Gastonia, NC. It's a pretty cool looking ride. I just didn't care for the 02 V-Rod that I had. I don't see how bags, and a fairing will make me like it anymore. I'd highly recomend a demo ride on one, before you drop the coin. Still a cool looking ride though.

I saw one at a dealership about a year ago. Very nice looking but remember, that tiny fuel tank ain't gonna get you very far
. Then there is the cost of all the stuff you need to convert it. With the price of a Vros and another 4,0000 for parts you could have probably bought a SE Ultra

P.S. I never want to see a revolution motor on a Roadglide[:@].

RE: Road Rod
I'm not trying to start another "war" like we had over the Ultra with a "repaired" title about a month back (I think). However! This kinda project would be good for a wrecked V-Rod. Most of the ones I see stay in the 6-7 grand range. Add another 4 for the kit, and you're riding a pretty cool bike for 10-11 grand. V-Rods aren't a hot seller as it is, and the resale value on them is pretty much the worst out there. I saw an 04 with 170 miles at the last auction I went to. The auctioneer dropped the bid to $10,000, and never got a bid. For whatever reason, they just aren't a good seller. All that being said, why would you want to end up with 15-20K in a cool ride, that you'll never be able to get 10-12K out of after you are done. Start with one that's been smacked, and end up with a lot less invested. Just a thought for any of you serious about building one.
