Know anything about those air-horns onmthe silver bike. I have them on my 72 Shovelhead along with mini-compressor. They scare the crap,out of drivers not paying attention and I do use them. They are going on my VROD

I agree. It has mid controls which I prefer. Sits a little higher, but the ergonomics were much more comfortable. I just took a little off the seat....

I thought about it and decided to buy my first Harley back from the guy I sold it to 7 years ago. Should have never sold it, this bike is the best Harley I've ever owned.

I concur. The best of the breed. Love mine since day one and will never let it go.

I had an 04, fuel range was about 90 miles and the light came on. That sucks.

I sometimes regret not intervening and buying my son's V-rod rather then having him get bent over by trading the bike when purchasing his car. 1) I could have given him a fairer price. 2) I'd have the bike for quick, short trips and/or an occasional adrenaline rush.

Did you end up buying one? I traded a Shovel for mine, it is the funnest Harley I have ridden, but hard on my back. Thinking of going back to late model Shovel again.
