Default V Rod enhancements

Can you buy a V Rod with a 300 rear tire and cruise control or are these modifications that must be made "after market"?

Welcome to the HDForums. This is the new members section so you probably will not receive the answers you are looking for. This section is for introductions. Ask your question over in the VRod section.

the new 240 tire bikes will go 260 from what I hear, you'll def need some aftermarket help to get a 300 in there. I squeezed a 240 into my 180 tire frame. I don't know if the new bikes have cruise or not...I just use a throttle mate or similar $30 aftermarket device to hold the throttle steady at highway speeds to give my hand a break.
