I know a lot of people don't like those Road-Rods, but I think they look sharp. My wife wanted wind protection on her V-rod, but would not go that far. We ended up with a detachable windshield and soft bags on hers.

I came really close to doing this when I had my V rod. Some of them turn out really nice.

I have a RG so of course I like the Fairing, but I just can't get over the exposed frame of the V......I'd just trade up for a real Roadie.........

I'm pretty sure MOCO already has something in the works. Personally, I don't like the v-rod, never have. There's just nothing about it that says Harley... other than the decal of course. I think it's an abomination to the Harley-Davidson family. JMO. To each his (or her) own.

I feel the same way about Ford. They should've just kept making Model Ts....
