OK, I'm slowly learning here, so please be patient with me.....
I'd like to know if the V logo can (should) be used interchangeably with the FLHR and FLHRC - not on the tank, but rather on chromed accessories. The plain V is not just representative of the FLHR, is it? I like the look (plain), but wonder if it doesn't belong on a FLHRC.
I'd like to keep my bike's "theme" more nostalgic (no skulls or flames), and bought some passenger floorboard covers with the plan V logo, then noticed later that they also sell a "classic" version with a slightly different logo which is more representative of the classic's tank badge.
I have a V on my detachable backrest, so maybe it doesn't matter?
I've got the V logo passenger footboard covers and the same on my backrest .. and I have a Road Glide. I got it cause I liked the looks of it. Go with whatever pleases you. That's what great about Harleys .. make it your own. That's why they have a "Mulit-Fit" section of the HD Motor Accessories catalogs!!
I know what you're saying, but I agree with the folks who say, "Its your bike...do with it what you want." I guess that if you were thinking of putting a 'Gold Wing' emblem on the bike it would be a bit weird.
Reviving a really old thread.
Since I am waiting on taking delivery of my new King, I am also curious about the history of the V. Why is it relevant to Road Kings and not all V Twins?
