I agree with a lot of what's been said...my V-Rod was about the most fun I've ever had on a Harley. Because they get a lot of shade thrown their way, the value proposition is insane on them.
I owned a 07 V-Rod. The former owner installed SE heads, cam, 2/1 exhaust along with Legend air ride.
I also installed forward controls, batwing fairing and modified handlebars. Sold several years ago. Nice bike to ride around town.

The coolant bottle update was also done in 2005.
