I bought the first Night Rod I found at the Fullerton HD shop. I love it! The mid controls and the low seat work great for me. I did change the seat and added a HD windshield. I have a little more than 2,500 miles on it today.
The VROD is about perfect for feeeway communting; I split lanes and keep moving through traffic. I have never clipped a side mirror on cars in traffic which did happen a time or two on the old bike. The handle bars are set up just right. I commute everyday from Orange County to Los Angeles, California so put on 60 - 70 freeway miles per day. The speed and power are awsome.
