Very nice, T-Rod. Is that the stock seat? (I've been looking at the CC Seats and Bitchin Seats...)
Thanks,
Rod

Wow! Thanks guys! I have to be honest, I did not expect such positive replies here... When I decided to stray from the safety of the V Rod site, I fully anticipated the typical "it's not a real harley", "fugly" comments... It actually seems like the bike is better received here than over there! Guess most VR guys are just into all of them looking the same...

Yeah it's the stock seat with an "A" model passenger pillion. I want the bitchin 1-pc seat so bad but at $700, wheels come first!

I hear what your saying though, the fairing and bars are definitely not for everyone. If I wanted the traditional "sick looking" V-Rod, I'd have just thrown on drag bars like everyone else. What I wanted was comfort on my frequent 200 mile rides and function over form with a unique look. I also happen to love the outlaw-style Dynas and Softails and have never seen a V Rod with that theme...
My bad. From the triple tree up then. Any pics without the fairing?

finally a v-rod I don't hate. I like it alot in fact...except for the forward controls..seems counterproductive on a bike like that..come to think of it, do they even come with mids? don't think I've ever seen one with em..then again I rarely look at them but thats not the point.

Thanks man. I LOVE your bike. Totally my style. As far as the forwards, the early models came with em, but I think '07-up are all forwards. I don't really mind them, because at 6'+ I'm not too stretched at all... But I might add mid pegs, as the frame is set up for The option of mid controls.

I like it congrats on a totally diff "look" . I'm liking this site more and more because there is a lot of "out of the box" thinking here

BTW try Mean City Cycles - They do some great work on re-making stock seats you may save yourself some coin
