There is one like that around my area, rode by a nice young lady. Hers looks a little nicer and more like a HD. Her saddle bags are HD, and it has the shark nose too. Great looking bike, and she claims its comfortable for the long rides!

They are basicaly calling their creation the V-Rod Street Glide. Pictures have been circulating for a while and so are the rumors that HD will actually start building them.
They say shorter riders and ladies will be the target customers. I rode with a guy who had floor boards, hard saddle bags and a windshield on his v-rod. I liked the look. He said the floorboards were much more comfortable than the extreme forward controls that are standard.
I believe American Bagger did an article with a bunch of pictures, but I have not been able to locate it.

I love my 2003 EG but age is creeping up and this summer their were times when I found it's weight a bit of an issue. Consequently I cannot see myself buying another. Now if HD comes out with a bagger based on the V-rod (and deals with some of the service issues) their is a bike I would really consider. I would guess it would be at least 150lbs lighter and i would not have to spend any extra monies to get the power I want/need. By the way, I talked to several older farts like myself on my retirement decompression trip and a number of them expressed similar sentiments

They will build it!!! EPA, economics, heat, etc are pushing Harley into the liquid cooled arena. I am somewhat suprised they haven't already introduced it. I believe, my opinion only here, the only thing holding Harley back is the difficulties in building a liquid cooled bike that retains the look and feel of the traditional bikes.
