I'll change the pipes ! They probably put a CAT in the pipe of some such.
I want one of these bad boys to ride to work. It's a perfect commuter
I don't get caught in the rain, I ride in it on purpose.

I just took it (V-Rod) for a very short ride around the block. My shoulder is not ready for any more than that. I must say I have never rode a bike with such a different motor, ever. And I have ridden many. =P~
Well I rode it ti work last night. A whopping 10 miles 1 way. I can't compare this 1130cc motor to anything I have ever ridden. My 89' V-Max was the fastest bike I ever rode. This one hits sooner and really has a long powerband. =P~ I really lOVE it! Cornering is a different story. :P

I got scared way before hitting a rev limiter. This was not the normal Harley.

Not a tank, air box cover so bolted right through. Tank is under the seat. Only 3 gallon and 120 miles between fill ups. Hell, I have to stop to leak by then anyway.
