Supercharged Harley V-Rod Is One Wickedly Fast Ride
This supercharged Harley-Davidson V-Rod is one seriously cool and quick ride.
Modified the Right Way
Though it was discontinued years ago, the Harley-Davidson V-Rod remains a popular target for enthusiasts on the used market to this day, thanks to its muscular styling, fun riding characteristics, and solid performance. However, those that want more from the V-Rod can certainly find it in the aftermarket, though we rarely see supercharged examples like this one that's up for grabs at 1130cc.com.

Display Piece
This 2006 Harley-Davidson VRSC was built by the folks at ML Customs, which obviously did a bit more than just slap a blower on it and call it a day. Rather, the bike now sports some seriously cool, custom carbon-fiber bodywork to help shed weight and make it nicer to look at, which makes sense given the fact that it served as a display piece for ML Customs' shop for some time.
External Mods
Other external mods include a Daymaker LED headlight paired with LED lights throughout, a vertical-mounted license plate frame, V-Rod Muscle mirrors, a short rear fender, Viper windscreen, leather saddle bags, and a carbon fiber tank cover, fenders, side covers, and radiator covers.
Power Upgrades
Of course, the big news here are the performance mods this V-Rod is packing, a list that includes a TTS supercharger, a custom tune, a CFR exhaust, and larger injectors, which reportedly help the stock mill churn out 160 horsepower. The rest of the drivetrain has been beefed up as well, with parts including gas rear shocks, an HD Slipper clutch, and an M8 clutch basket, to name just a few.
Take It or Leave It
All of those goodies - fitted to a bike with 7,000 miles on the clock - make this V-Rod a heck of a good deal at $11,500, though the seller is willing to revert it to stock and sell it for $8,350. Of course, we'd obviously opt for it as-is, because who wouldn't want to tool around in a supercharged, carbon fiber-bodied machine like this?
