If you can convert a V-Rod into a Road Rod for $2k...
Buy ALL the parts and I'll give you $2500 for them.

More like $6k.

 

Thanks to all for the great responses I've received in just one day! Keep them coming.

I hadn't considered the renting option, but will definitely look into doing that. Although our riding season here in Wisconsin is quickly coming to a close (had snow flurries yesterday), I travel a great deal on business to the west coast, so a couple of west coast rentals will be in the works.

While I will be riding this bike around town, my primary focus is to use it for a lot of long distance trips, and use the Street Rod for most of my around town rides. It's great to hear so much positive feedback on all three models, so the rental rides will carry a lot of weight. I'll be able to focus on comfort and handling, since for different reasons I like the styling of each bike (yes, even the Road Glide; maybe especially the Road Glide).

Thanks again for the feedback.
