Finally did it. I've been looking at V-Rods for quite awhile and finally got one. Bought a 2005 CVO V-Rod in Light Candy Cherry/Dark Candy Cherry. Kept by CVO Streetglide but enjoy riding the v-rod on shorter trips. Bike is too much fun. I have a lot to learn about this family of HD bikes.
And just as a side note: The V-rod community isn't very large on this forum. They have their own that you might want to check out for questions or issues regarding it. I'm not sure how they feel about links to other sites here but pm if you can't find it.
