Hey, cool bike. I rented one from a dealership last year, but it had mid controls with forward pegs. I notice yours has forward controls. Being 6'4" that is the only way I'd ever ride another night rod. I could barely get my knees folded up to operate the transmission and the rear brake on that night rod, but once I got going and put the feet on the pegs, it was a great ride. That engine is unbelievable over 6,000 rpm. It really comes to life -- scary life. I like the v-rod. Welcome.
