Thinking about buying a V-ROD...
Hey guys, first post in this section. I noticed there’s not much activity here...hmm. I’m thinking about buying a V-ROD and have a couple questions.
What’s the future parts availability look like? I have a 72 shovel and can still buy every part, Nut and bolt for that bike. What about the VROD?
Where’s a good place for aftermarket parts? I noticed JP cycles for early doesn’t have much.
Any and all thoughts welcomed and appreciated.

Try 1130CC.com, they will have a load of suggestions.
Buy the bike, you will not be disappointed. Just be prepared to take a lot of stupid $hit for it "not being a real Harley" from the old school crowd. Then you can laugh at them and easily blow them all away.

You didn't say what year? There were changes throughout the life of the V-Rod so you may want to do some reading here to start https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harley-Davidson_VRSC
I had an 09 for a while then went back to a Touring bike as I enjoy them the most. Nothing wrong with a V-Rod but if I were to get another I would look at the V-Rod Muscle as I like the exhaust design on that model.
As noted by BBM 1130cc.com is the hangout for everything V-Rod.

No. Unless you are a real speed junkie I would not concern myself with the difference between the 1130 and 1250. It's roughly 5 hp.

Note the rear tire width changed around the years your looking at. Some liked the thinner rear some the wider. I love the look of the wide rear wheel
