Never heard of a fire like that on a V-rod. Unless H-D has changed something, the fuse block is under the rear of the airbox.

Unhappy Damn, I'm scared

Wow, only had my V-rod for 2 months and it sits right next to my 09 ZO6. I'm thinking about a quick disconnect on the battery...

Remind me not to buy insurance where you do.
