Default New '09 VRSCAW Owner

Hey guys, so this is my first post in this forum about my first bike, and what I consider an insanely good deal.


Just this past Friday I made a quick call to a sales guy I've talked to a bunch in the past 3+ months, and his occasional calls to me along with dealing with my once-every-few-weeks calls has paid off. ...in a massive way. Following my call with him on Friday, I had a quick convo with the wife that night and Saturday morning headed on up to the dealership to pick up my new toy.

...and here's what I got: A 2009 Harley V-Rod (VRSCAW) from Harley of Danbury (CT) for 12,995 with a whopping 9 miles on it.

While the link is still active:

lol you suck. I was looking at it myself even though its a bit far away. I have to wait a few weeks before pulling the trigger though.

Congrats on the bike though. I'd certainly look at getting a wicked airbox for it as it will add to the looks.

Nice bike, Love the color.. That is about what I paid for my used Nightrod with 2k miles and ABS, so sweet deal.

Beautiful bike! Tested an '08 AW and liked it, same color I think...

This past weekend I tried out an '09 DX that I LOVE and can only pray that the salesguy will work with me on a deal like you got!

Here's hoping! Good luck with the new scoot, VERY nice indeed!

Mike

Thanks guys. It was just delivered yesterday morning, and I was itching all day for 6PM to come around so I can get in my car and head home to see it in my garage.

I was originally looking for a Pewter one or 100th Aniversary, but this blue hit me and with the 240 out back it really made the bike.

Given this is my first bike, I'm going to take it slow on any modifications/add-on's, but the first few things I'm about to pick up are:

Already removed rear pegs and brackets for the time-being and replaced allen head bolts with shorter chrome ones.
Chrome Coolant Hose Cover
Kuryakyn ISO Pegs and Grips
Smoked turn signal lenses

As an alternative to the smoked lenses on the stock signals, I'm curious to see what you guys think about these:

Eventually I'd like to swap out the rear fender for something very similar but with a less pronounced taillight.

That is a very good deal, and a great looking bike. Welcome. Be careful, the mods are addictive (and expensive).

you're telling me. ...so far I have yet to pull the trigger on anything. ...but I'm sure it'll start quickly.

Anyone reading this running the ISO Grips, pegs or shift levers? I'm curious to know how comfortable they are and how well they hold up over time.

Welcome!
I have been running the flamed ISO grips for the last 3 years and no problems. Another option on your mirrors, have you looked at the F model mirror and stem?
