VROD wheels cut and chromed by Ruthless Designz
by Editor on 01/18/19
Big shout out to Bill Gorby of Ruthless Designz for taking the time to send me this pic before shipping my wheels back to me!
I sent my stock OEM solid wheels from our VROD camera bike to have them cut and chromed, this was something I wanted to do for a long time. Now that I've seen this picture I should have done it long ago... OMG those look awesome!!!!
I can hardly wait till they arrive, I'm probably going to wear out our carpet pacing back and forth waiting for the FedEX guy...
Ruthless Designz has a number of different patterns available, I've built a page on our website showing them all with direct links. click here

OEM Vrod wheels can be machined by Ruthless Designz
by Editor on 11/18/18
I have been wanting to get my OEM 2003 Harley Davidson V-Rod wheels machined for years, well I finally pulled the trigger...
I have them boxed up and on route to Ruthless Designz in Myrte Beach South Carolina to have the man himself, Bill Gorby work his magic on them. They have many different designs available, but the one that I went with was #930 as shown in this pic. I thought that it was a perfect match to the cut outs in the rear pulley and rotor, as well as the shape of the plastic dust covers in the front wheel.
I'm stoked and can hardly wait to get them back and on the bike!

BEST Vrod exhaust and tuner
by Editor on 11/16/18
NEW VIDEO shot at the Columbia Icefield:
This "SuckerPunch" pipe from Fitzgerald Motorsports has exceeded all my hopes and expectations. The performance is outstanding and the sound is phenomenal, It's more than an exhaust system it's a work of art!
While talking with Scott Fitzgerald he asked if I had a tuner, I told him I didn't and asked what he recommended. The best tuner out there is made by Daytona Twin Tec LLC he said and it actually replaced the oem ECU.
I really liked that because many of the piggy back type tuners have problems.
Now, my thought on this was, if the guy who makes the best exhaust system recommends the DTT then that's the one for me!
After I got off the phone with Scott I immediately went to the Daytona Twin Tec's site to check out the tuner for myself and I was blown away!!!!
