    V Rod bagger

    Never paid much attention to V Rods till I saw this one. A tour pack and higher windshield and I would love to have one like this.




    Just a few more states and I will have them all on one motorcycle. If you see my bike on a trailer it is stolen call the police. http://i143.photobucket.com/albums/r...s/mapsmall.jpg

    I would love one of those. not sure about that front fender though. looks like it would block the radiator.

    I'd prefer the Roadking look and functionality. And that screaming yellow does nothing for me.
    One tone black would be fine with me.


    I almost cut my hair, it happened just the other day.
    It was gettin' kinda long, I could've said it was in my way.
    But I didn't and I wonder why, I feel like letting my freak flag fly

    Re: V Rod bagger

    If I were getting picky....Not sure I like how angular the bags look, next to that fender.......thinking corbin bags might be an improvement.......
    if I had it, I think I would have cut the bags apart, and reshaped the glass

    Picky schmicky, that thing looks like it was designed by a blind albino lab monkey. Not a damn bit of the tin works together, but the point is, a V-rod can be made into a roadworthy bagger with enough time and money, as long as you don't mind stopping for gas every 70-80 miles or so (3-gal capacity), which most people do anyway, except me. I wait until my wife threatens to piss on my back or the low fuel light's been on for an hour, whichever comes first.

    If Harley offered that as an actual model, they might survive as a motorcycle company another few years. Think of all the new T shirt Designs and slogans they could sell!

    and the new Vrods have 5 gallons - not 3

    Oh, you mean like, "A real man has a Vagina-rod between his legs!"

    That's to counter the current philosophy among "real" bikers that the V-rod's a pussy bike. H-D knows this rep will be virtually impossible to overcome, thus the talk about dropping the line.

    But my word of advice would be, before shitcanning it, try a CVO or whatever special build of a V-rod bagger just to see how it does. They might reconsider, and at least offer a bagged model for the old farts who are beyond gynecological labelling.

    Well - the engine is too small for the "small dick, big engine " crowd, so the bagger should have a VROD engine pumped up to 74,000 cc's or something
