Default What do you think?

I've talked to some Harley riders around here, but I'd like to get some opinions from a more diverse group about some of the small things I've done to make my VRSCA look a little different from everyone elses V Rod. Let me know what you think.

I cut down a stock brake pedal, ground, sanded, and buffed to make it look similar to the shifter-



I made a new horn bracket to get the horn out of my knee





And I fabricated a new sissy bar for the little lady on longer trips



Any opinion is welcome. My brother "Rocket" thinks the sissy bar looks out of place because of the angle, it's more function over form. He also doesn't like the Stiletto pegs but thinks the brake pedal looks "right" now. Added other things, but these are "non-Harley".

Comments, Questions, Additions, Complaints?

Not a V-Rod rider here (except demos), but I like the way they look- - - I'd have to agree with Rocket on that one - - is it detachable??- -the rest looks fine!

sissy bar for the little lady on longer trips

The sissy bar is only on as long as I'm going 400+ miles two up. Unfortunaly it's not quick release, but there are only four bolts that hold it on, and they have to be removed to put the "Harley" one back on. (Yes, it goes on because I don't want someones *** denting or scratching the fender because they've slid off the back when I take off) Most of the time the bike looks like it does below.

Thanks for the input, it is always welcome.

HA HA HA HA That's what I said.

Thankfully it's only on the bike for trips, and only when he has the gal on the back.



I hope she's comfortable.

Easy , everything looks great , you did an awesome job on the shifter . Relocation of the horn good thinking , but the sissy bar even though functional you need to get it so its quick release.So you can get it off after the long rides. But you did a super job on everything .

Maybe I should have posted this in the General Chat area. I appreciate the input from all of you, especially the non-VRSC community.
