So, after years of riding supermotos, metric bikes, and dirt bikes, I am the proud new owner of a 2003 V-Rod. With the whole CCCovid-19 thing going on, a buddy of a buddy was in a tight spot and needed cash ASAP. I had cash, a truck and trailer, and I ended up with this "gem". Haha. It needs a little love, but overall it seems pretty solid. It has just a tick over 16k miles, and in rideable condition. Thought I would share the journey of making this ol' girl mine. Thanks for looking.

 

Congrats.

 

Thanks! Messed around with it a little last night. I am in the process of adding a Yoshimura slip on meant for a CBR1000RR. I am hoping to get a sound similiar to a RC-51 or RC8R, that is the goal anyway.

 

It looks kinda cool with out the fender.

 

Nice ride, congratulation.

 

Nice. Congrats.
One thing I'd do is put the radiator front cover and shrouds back on to protect the radiator seeing there is no front fender.
You don't want to mess up the radiator or oil cooler these days. I hear big $$$.

 

Agreed, and fenders too.

 

Happened to be on the OEM parts page yesterday so I checked out the radiator and oil cooler. Says, not available. When I had my '06 SE2 I needed to buy the oil cooler portion. Don't know what I'd do these days since HD no longer sells them.

 

Very nice and congratulations OP. Although, I did notice that the picture and the background don't seem to match. Did you superimpose your image over a different backdrop?

 

Thanks, I have a few updates. And no, there is no photoshopping going on. The photo was taken behind our local carwash. The backdrop, lighting, and my camera phone made it look that way.
