 Re: Heartland RockerC converision kit
WOW you are really comparing the whole range.
The VTX is a metric cruiser and wont vibrate like any american vtwin. My BIL has one and its an alright bike but dont hold a candle to many other bikes.
The BDM is a hard mounted motor, that is why it vibrates so much. Those vibes aren't just annoying to you, its one of the reasons these bikes have so many problems. The electronics, bolts, nuts, etc all get hell put to them by vibes. First thing needed on a bdm is re-wire it with a wire plus module. Dumping their EHC is a good step towards realiability. The constant polishing sucks cause most of it is polished billet not chrome.
The HD Rocker while I dont love it, at least it has HD support and realiability. Best of both the above worlds IMO. Price wise if you are looking for bdm looks, you will probably spend more on a rocker to try to get there if you consider buying a used bdm at 50 cents on the dollar.
Ask yourself this... do you want to wrench on the bike every weekend to ensure no problems or do you want the turn key attitude you get with your vtx? If you don't want to turn the wrench constantly get the HD.
