VROD fork stem cap
by Editor on 07/25/17
Details.... It's all about the details....
A friend gave me a Harley Davidson Vrod 100th anniversary secondary clutch actuator cover but it had a large dent on the top. There was no way to repair the dent so I cut out the centre and now use it as a fork stem cap.

Vrod exhaust bracket
by Editor on 07/19/17
Love my Suckerpunch exhaust system from Fitzgerald Motorsports, it looks, sounds and performs so much better than the Screamin' Eagle pipes I had on before. I really like how the entire swingarm is now visible but the one thing that looked unfinished to me was where the previous system bolted to the frame.
I grabbed a piece of pop can cardboard, rough cut a triangle, pressed it up against the 3 bolts & tapped it with a hammer, pressed the cardboard over the edges of the bracket, then cut it out to make a template. Next step was to trace it onto a piece of aluminium, drill, cut, file, sand, polish and well-la.

Trev Deeley Motorcycles customer service
by Editor on 07/10/17
I've been talking my motorcycles to Trev Deeley Motorcycles in Vancouver since I bought my first vrod from them in 2003. I've experienced Outstanding customer service and highly recommend them to take care of all your Harley Davidson sales, service, parts and clothing needs. The techs at TDMC Customs have done all the work on our Project Vrod including a 5 gallon fuel tank conversion from Unlimited Engineering and the installation of the SuckerPunch exhaust system from Fitzgerald Motorsports and tuner from Daytona Twin Tec.
Thank you for all your hard work, I appreciate the tlc you've shown my bike.
Happy 100th Birthday!
Solving the Vrod small fuel tank problem
by Editor on 07/07/17
Project Vrod update: Red Rod edition
Our second 2003 Harley-Davidson V-rod still has the stock 3.7 gallon fuel tank in it and the fuel gage is unreliable. I'm waiting for a larger 5.3 fuel tank from Unlimited Engineering but they are out of stock, so until then I'm using a 1 1/4 gallon gas can as a reserve. I made a 3 piece base plate out of 1/4 inch aluminium flat bar and attached it to the saddlebag mount and held it in place with 3 ROK Straps. This of course is temporary but it kills two birds with one stone, the fuel capacity issue and it balances out the missing left saddlebag that I'm still searching for.

New product release from Mustang Seats. Harley Davidson FL
by Editor on 06/29/17
Mustang Introduces Deluxe Super Touring for 1997-07 FL
Early FL requested a stylish touring seat that allowed them to sit back further, so Mustang re-designed their top-selling Deluxe Super Touring style seat to fit 1997-07 FL models. Engineered to provide truly uncompromising comfort for both riders and their passengers, the one-piece seat features a unique custom stitch pattern on high quality expanded vinyl, styled along the lines of state-of-the-art automotive interior designs.
Mustang's new Super Deluxe Touring seat allows the driver to comfortably sit back an extra full inch as compared to the stock seat. The 19 inch wide front bucket angles the body for long-distance comfort and provides ample lumbar support. For all-day back support, add the matching driver backrest kit for a fully adjustable and easily removable backrest that can be folded and stored.
Of course, long distance touring is more fun two-up, so the engineering team focused on the passenger seat to make sure it measures up to Mustang's high standards. The generous 14 inch wide rear seat is properly contoured for comfort, providing support across its full width and keeping the passenger firmly in the comfort zone. Now both rider and passenger will be happy to spend more time in the saddle!
As with all Mustang seats, the marine-grade fiberglass baseplate, proprietary comfort foam and individually sewn covers are proudly handcrafted and assembled in their New England facility (tours are available by appointment).
For more information, visit www.MustangSeats.com or call Mustang at 800-243-1392 or 413-668-1100. Feel the Mustang difference!
