Default V-Rod Chopper??????

OK, I have to admit the V-Rod is starting to grow on me. But I don't get why anyone would want to chop one. I found this one ebay the other day.



Why bother?

Long..low..sleek..fast straight-liner..why not,if that's what a guy's into !?!

Heck..who knows (?) might just be that "new-trend" Adam's thread is inquiring about

I still say a V-rod, Serviecar trike/ retro would be neat.
Something like if HD was still making the Serviecar but with a v-rod base.
Use external tubing on the rear bed, like the frame.
Put a split tank on it.
Do it as a project bike, let one of the three wheelers companys supply the running gear.
Make it a prototype and sell kits.
Got to many ideas floating around in this pea brain, just no time/money.

Like any chopper it's not too practical. More for looks than performance. I wouldnt want to try a uturn with that thing but it looks kinda cool.

Chopper whatever...liquid cooled is the future at Harley. The old air cooled V-Twins will be around until the government outlaws them as polluters.

It looks OK. Not exactly built for my style of riding. I can understand a lot of people liking it. Maybe even with a set of pull-back bars. Overall, not a bad looking B.

Looks good I think. To each his own.

I like it. I could see having one for my second bike and give the ol' Low Rider a rest. Come on Powerball.
