I dig it, but it aint done till they fix that rake

jalaan1 09-21-2011 08:56 PM

thinking the same thing ^^^^^^

I agree on the rake, love it anyway... Also real brakes up front, usd fork, and wire wheels... Then it'd be perfect.

Adeptus_Minor 09-21-2011 09:15 PM

I like it... and this coming from a former Warrior rider. :lol:

goof2 09-21-2011 09:26 PM

Agree on the rake. My first thought was I hope it steers better than it looks like it should.

Diggin' it.

2nd best looking V-Rod I've seen.

There are only two things I like about this bike:

The tail piece, and the tail piece.

The rake, coupled with the, what, 350mm+ rear tire?, = sucks ass in turns. Fuck that.

That seat cover looks like it was salvaged from an easy chair, in an Indonesian whore house.

They said the 'brakes are from Buell', that I would assume means perimeter brakes, which work just fine.
(though I agree about the wire wheels)

Didn't read it and missed it in the pic... I see now that they used the newer Buell brakes with the slotted rotors..m. OSP approves.

I'll take a stock VRod, thanks.

That tail piece even looks like it needs some attention. I like the lack of mirrors - whatever is behind you doesn't matter. Though, with that tank who needs mirrors?

Brakes? They might be better off throwing an anchor out of a backpack rather than using those brakes.

This illustrates that Harley could if they chose to build a Bike that Sport riders could like

They had that for about 25 years. Then they shut it down.

Edit: They also tried it with the Xr1200. How many of those do you see around? I've seen exactly zero on the road, and we have a pretty large Harley following in NS.

Who wouldn't want an $18,000 sport bike, that weighs 700 pounds?

Sign me up!

Not.
