Were there any Vrods that didn't come with a super raked out front end?

>>28578702
the closest you can get is probably a sportster 1250. The vrod was designed as a drag bike basically. It sucks cause there's not much of a spectrum between cruisers and standard/naked as there is between sports and nakeds or advs and nakeds. If there were some sort of flat track fat boy or vrod designed similar to those new bagger race bikes they've been running, I'd totally be down for it

>>28578870
Really hoping to see the 1250 in a nightster. I would buy it

How much would it cost for a wide glide suspension setup that I can throw on my shovel?
Also taking tire suggestions.

>>28578935
That would be great, but honestly I'm still happy with the 975. 120hp is right on par with the vrod and it weighs less. A 1250 sportster would be almost in vmax territory. I for one just hope ebr can make something like the super touring for under $20k. Its a shame the old buell bikes were such unique and bespoke chassis. I looked into an xb9r for a while, but it feels like kind of a dead end for how hard parts are to find. With how much 270 twin cylinder middleweights have been becoming popular, I feel like it'd be a great time for some american v twin bikes to come back.

>>28578870
Apparently the Night Rod was the answer but I assume that was basically just a rear suspension lift to go along with the rearsets. Once again I circle back to the PanAm ST with a tail tidy and a less hideous muffler.

>>28578973
I have news

>>28578975
>''hope ebr can make something like the super touring for under $20k''
If the super touring was $16k it'd be a perfect bike, but I'm not paying $22k plus tip for it. I'd rather shell out a little extra for an h2 sx. In a few years if it sells well, I'm sure it'll be an awesome bike on the used market, but its hard to justify the price right now brand new

>>28578996
Fuck me is it actually 22? I didn't ever see a price, just an announcement a while ago. RIP.

>>28578973
Those are nice. Yellow for me.

>>28578281
I believe thats a low rider

>>28578274
>>28578291
Yea those early vrods , were the pinnacle of modern harley

>>28578965
From a dyna system your looking at upmost 1300 or 1400 dollars in just the shocks alone

>>28579074
Lose the gay leather dildo satchel on the springer front end and put a mexican rolled up blanket on back instead and its money.

>>28578267
Truuu. I like mine

>>28579074
Nice bike, I'm also glad to see you actually have a front brake. The ones that take the front brake off for aesthetics are trying too hard.

>>28579081
Where do you keep your tool roll?

>>28579074
Would it mean anything that it's a 80ci big bike. Not a sportster.. it's an inherited bike so I'm learnin to restore my papa's choppa

Easy brackets yay or nay. These seem like a WAY better option to mount Pelican 1430s without doing the whole FXRP cage around the bags.

>>28579074
>>28579081
>>28579081
Its a tool bag , and yes the front brake was a must , but it comes with lots of a criticism, the whole motorcycle gets criticized for not being a big twin , shovel head panhead or evo.
But hey it cranks up whenever i want to go out and use it with out breaking down.

>>28580459
Yes just yes

>>28580749
Cute n comfy

Does anyone ever go to their local BROTHER dealer for the myriad of weekend events? The ones around here always have bikini bike washes, free food, and $1 beers. I went by one yesterday to look at some saddlebags and entered the raffle 20 minutes before the drawing. I bought a beer and walked around prodding the different types of saddle bags on bikes there and ended up winning the $250 gift card prize. Not a bad use of 45 minutes of my day.

>>28584896
I go for free food n swag. Beer just makes me feel bloated and I don't want chick's with track marks scrubbing my bike with dirty mop water.
I'll do like looking at the bimes and trolling the salesman who bug me

>>28584950
Yeah I don’t understand the bike wash stuff, lol some old dude taking pictures of a poor girl in a biki “””washing”””” his bike.

I go for the swag, I don’t eat anything usually. The previous time I went I got a nice towel that I keep in my handlebar bag that’s good for cleaning the helmet visor.

>>28585000
I've only ever seen sad looking old guys getting their bikes scrubbed by those poor fatherless gals.
Ones by me usually have food trucks or grills going. So not terrible.
I've gotten so fucking many rags and pucks as swag its crazy. Shirts I usually just use as gym shit so that's not bad.
I don't fuck with the raffles though. I can find better ways to give money away.

>>28585022
It was a free raffle, no fee. I’ve never seen a dealership do a paid raffle.

>>28585025
Thats whats up.
I've been to some where they'll have 3rd party folks set up stuff like that. Its usually some strange boomer shit. But to each their own. As long as I get to look at bikes I'm happy

Has anyone converted a sportster 1200 or 883 to kickstart? I think it would be cool to mimic the look of the old Harleys with out spending too much on an actual panhead. Currently ride a sport bike, but I mostly cruise anyways, and new severe speeding laws are my sign its time to move on. I don't want to have the temptation a sport bike gives you.

>>28587513
>I don't want to have the temptation a sport bike gives you.
What are these laws? Because if they're something like 30+mph over the limit or anything in the triple digits, a Sportster 1200 can easily do that still. You're going to have to limit yourself to a Rebel 500 at the minimum to not be able to do that. If you truly have that little self-control you shouldn't be on anything but a taotao pony.

>>28587598
Anything over 100 is an automatic felony. I cruise the majority of the time, but my theory is that having something that isn't purpose built for sport applications like a cruiser will set me up for success should the occasion arise where a bad decision could be made. I haven't gotten any tickets for it and it hasn't been an issue in the past. However I'd like to get away from that style of riding as a whole, because I don't want to increase the amount of times where I could be tempted to do it.

>>28587642
100 mph or kph? If MPH just have some self control. If KPH you might as well just get a fucking 250 or 300.

>>28587674
MPH. The law is only an issue on the highways which are full of speeding cars, and semis. But I'd still rather to continue in developing better habits and a slower paced style of riding, then continue down the sport style of riding.

>>28585344
That picture is fucking cool, I don't care what the haters say. It makes my inner 10 year old go "hell yeah!"

>>28587513
>let me pay $500 to make my bike worse
you faggot hipsters are the reason harley owners get such a bad rep these days

>>28588086
How does it make it worse in your opinion? Does the kick start kit remove the electric start? I assumed it was just in addition to the regular electric starter.

>>28588086
>>28588180
It retains the electric start.
>faggot hipsters
How is adding kick start any different from making a hardtail, bobbing, adding ape hangers, straight piping etc?

>>28588086
extra weight, complexity and cost. If your starter shot the bed, or you happened to have a spare kickstarter laying around yeah go for it. Spending $500 on something you don't need that does nothing for performance is dumb hipster faggot shit.
>>28588499
>hardtail, bobbing, straight piping etc?
that shit is free, and supposed to be done on cheap shitbikes but hipsters have ruined that too.
>ape hangers
are just plain regular retarded.

>>28585022
one by me has a food truck
>JUNKYARD DOGS
skulls, flames, chrome decals
nickelback on the stereo

$15 hot dogs
Because if it just said

Harleyfags wouldnt be interested

>>28587513
Kick start only is very kino

>>28588523
No one buys a cruiser for performance period. If that's what you wanted you would get a sport bike for speed, or a touring bike for trips. You can not make the argument otherwise. Look at Harleys current lineup, Its almost completely based on what looks cool. Look at just about any major meet up be it Sturgis, Daytona, etc. How many people are buying shit bikes and only buying performance upgrades? The answer is almost none. All bike culture has been moving this way for decades at this point. People buy and lift trucks for no other purpose then they think it looks cool, the same goes with muscle cars, sports cars, and just about everything in motorsports. Its just part of ownership.

Why are there ZERO forum posts related to EXACTLY what I can and cannot get away with in regards to tall shocks and a longer 2-1 muffler on a Dyna? I don't want to run some puny 6" muffler and I don't imagine you can just bend the exhaust far enough out of the way to clear the shock on full down travel. Is dimpling the pipe the best option?

>>28588898
Just call a dealership. They’ve probably seen all combinations and could answer you quickly.

>>28588937
Some random dealer tech that just graduated UTI will not intrinsically know this
