Buzz and AIM are leading the way on the V-rod. More than that, blazing the trail. There just aren't a lot of V-rods. Not many after manufacturers are willing to take a chance one somewhere around 100,000 individual units when they are looking at selling to 1% of the potential customers. Even H-D barely has any accessories for the V-rods.
The number one accessory for V-rods seems to be the Sundowner seat, which happens to be made by H-D. Just guessing from the V-rod dedicated forums and from the V-rodders I ride with, probably 20% of the V-rods in the US have Sundowners.
Next is exhaust. Most people don't want the hassle of installing new pipes then having to re-map the fuel system. Face it, for the most part, the old days of tweaking the idle and high-speed jets until "it sounds about right" are pretty much gone. I've seen flat-head v-8s with electronic ignition and and electronic fuel injection.
As for re-building the Revo motor, nobody has worn one out yet. It's just been in the last couple of weeks that one has been documented at going over 100,000 miles. He hasn't had any major problems. There have been a few race bikes that have grenaded their engine, but that is to be expected.
The dedicated V-rod forums are pretty busy. These forums exist primarily due to the way V-rod owners were treated on other forums during the early days of the V-rods. I consider myself fortunate that I only caught the tail-end of the real animosity toward V-rod owners. As a matter of self preservation, V-rodders sought out other V-rodders. Now it isn't so bad. A lot of HD "traditionalists" are comming around and accepting the V-rod for what it is. Nobody is telling anyone that they have to ride a V-rod, just don't tell us we can't. We get tired of hearing that our bikes aren't "real Harleys". I wonder if the owners of the first v-twins had to put up with that. "That ain't a 'real' Harley! It's got TWO cylinders!"
V-rod owners are a small group, and we tend to support manufacturers and advertisers that support us. But we are a small group. And growing larger every day.
