I know a gal that has a V-rod with a shark nose on it. They wont stop making them, they are growing not declining in popularity

I can only have sympathy for your embellished lack of taste, but the ignorance of function is a mystery. It has the same frame and suspension as the Classic.

A lot of guys already have done it. And it looks good imo. Only complaints I hear is small gas tank and no passenger comfort. If the MOCO could fix those issue I would get one in a heart beat. I believe the no CVO as they change the models up every few years though.

Plus didnt this come up before???

maybe harley can come out with something like the old suzuki...3 cylinder, water-cooled, 2 stroke. had a couple of those, one with a bates handlebar fairing and one with a vetter windjammer fairing.
i would have to take a serious look at a v-rod touring bike with a frame mounted fairing if the moco ever introduces one.
