hard steering

FrankAgustini — Wed, 29 Jul 2009 16:17:57 GMT

got a call from a friend on a 2004 v-rod and she said the steering head seems to stick or lock when turning from straight going slow in either direction.... could this be a bad bearing??? or just need greese??

thank you in advance

Where are the V-rod parts?

shadow2u — Wed, 18 Feb 2009 03:56:58 GMT

I have a 2008 VRSCAW. The last time I looked, it came up with one part. A chromed dipstick. The new catalog just arrived. Because I couldn't find anything other than the generic "muli-use" (how many headlights do I need?) I went online. There are hundreds of parts for Sportsters, Dyna Glides, Tourers, etc. Even the new Crossbones has a section. But my V-rod?

If you want to sell to the V-rod customer, start stocking V-rod items. This "not a true Harley" garbage has to go. I see no reason to visit your store, or drive to it in Daytona if you believe my ride isn't a Harley.

Before you think I am overreacting, do this: Open 20 pages at random. Find the word V-rod anywhere, on any manufacturer. You don't even carry seats for my bike. And as for your exhaust systems: One. The Q for Quiet system. Yeah, that's a big seller for the fastest accelerating HD in production history.

Give us performance parts for our bike. Stock something for the V-rods, and the 30,000 forum members at 1130cc.com just might come back for a look.

New V-Rod Model for 2009

V Rod discontinued

rapido125 — Mon, 17 Mar 2008 12:51:49 GMT

Seeing how they don't (never did) sell many of them, how long will the MOCO continue to make this bike? I guess it helps on their EPA average but a company will only produce a model that doesn't sell well only so long. I am personally surprised they haven't offered it in a touring model yet. Time will tell...

Free V rod?

Octane — Wed, 04 Jun 2008 04:28:24 GMT

OK guys, What would you do with a free vrod? Would you give it away or ride it? Or do something else with it? Just wanted to see a new post on this thing...lol...

I test rode the V Rod and.....

headmaster — Sat, 15 Jun 2002 14:47:12 GMT

I test rode the V rod at a dealership, here is my opinions. Make no mistakes, the bike is very quick, it will get up to traffic speeds from a dead stop in a flash, I had the bike up to 100 mph for a second or two before I even realized it, it had no problem pulling around my 230 LBS. To be honest it runs like a Jap bike, there is no new technological breakthrough here, it runs and sounds like the Jap bikes that we have known about for years, I'm just saying, it is like a Jap bike with Harley Davidson on the gas tank. The handeling was ok at lower speeds, but the raked triple trees made the handeling unpredictable due to the rake and trail constantly changing, every time the front end dip's going down the road, the trail is reduced, this can make a person a nervous reck after a while, because the the handeling is always changing, I would say this could even be dangerous in certain situations. I think your average Harley rider would be disapointed when the newness wares off after buying the V rod, and long for the lookes and feel of a real Harley.

Is The V-Rod Really a Harley?

sleepneagle — Fri, 11 Jan 2008 18:12:12 GMT

it don't got no potato sound. it ain't air cooled. Engine was designed by Germans. HD don't sell much bling for em. leaves coolant puddles instead of oil.

1945 Flathead 45 WLD

levis4545 — Sat, 23 Feb 2008 20:33:49 GMT

recently got a 1945/45-no # on casing as it was replaced, ti's a barn find. been sitting since 1976-the last registration. Title just shows year and model 45. Looking thru my books I think it it a WLD-the hinged back portion of the fender only has 2 hinge tabs. the 3 tabs on the fender itself. different than any others, I don't have the back part (still looking) also the bracket that bolts the back part is located higher than others. The aluminum heads are stamped 5-can you help to determine by this info I think it could possibly be a solo WLD (valance fenders) what other signs would I be looking for-it also has a solid orange kicker pedal, it appears very few made in 45 with the start of civilian transition. the left casing that has no # does have 8.0 on back where it mounts.

nice pics vst

fuel management

9606ca778 — Mon, 07 Jan 2008 08:56:51 GMT

My harley dealer said it would take about 3 hrs of dyno time to dial in the unit I choose. They also recommended V&H Fuel Pak over the Dynojet Power Commander. Although both of these company's claim they can tune it for you if you tell them your performance upgrades prior to shipping or download the appropriate map.My dealer didn't know about Ness's Big Shot or the Kuriakin load based models, and their price quote was more than double what I've seen them advertized for. I just want to buy what works the best. I've just bought the BUB Jug Huggers and a K&N air filter for my 2006 VRSCA. I'd sure appreciate some feedback on this topic. Thanks for your help. Regards, Lloyd

Terrific review of the new 2008 V-Rod in the new January 2008 issue of American Iron Magazine. Reviewer called it "the bike I hate to love." Wonder why?

Buell Wheel Conversion Kit

hurling_monkey — Wed, 05 Sep 2007 00:35:03 GMT

I know there are after market v-rod to buell wheel conversion kits available. Does J&P offer one? I noticed that J&P removed the V-Rod section from their catalog. I guess the v-rod market wasn't quite what h-d or J&P expected. Bummer.

Is a trailer hitch available for a VRod?

gusotto — Thu, 05 Jul 2007 03:32:07 GMT

Have a friend from Canada who wants a VRod, only if a trailer hitch is available. Haven't seen one yet. Anyone know if it exists?

new changes to the J&P forums

sfranta — Mon, 04 Jun 2007 14:52:54 GMT

good morning! as former moderator here on the J&P cycles tech forums, i was involved in a meeting this morning, where the fate and future of the forums here on our website was determined. the goal of this forum has always been and continues to be, to share technical information, and support the motorcycling community as a whole. we offer this forum to the general public, without exclusions. to further this goal, we have decided that the content of these forums is going to be limited to technical information only, going foward from this point today. no more off topic threads or posts are going to be allowed anymore. there are plenty of chat rooms and/or blogs out there for that. this is not a chat room, it is a technical forum. sorry, madmick, but it has been decided that the joke thread of the month [ my favorite part of the day] does not fit the new format of this forum. on a positive note, we are going to assign specialized staff from our technical/sales staff to the various forums, such as metric specialists to the metric forum, harley specialists to the tech forum, etc. hopefully this will get better information out to you faster. we welcome everyone to participate, whether you have a question, an answer or suggestion. my thanks to everyone who participates here. Steven Franta
