Selfie cam build
by Editor on 11/16/19
Now that the front & rear cameras are built, tested and proven on the carbon fiber Vrod it's time to tackle the selfiecam. It's important on the build to keep it stealthy & as clean looking as possible. First off I had to see if there was enough room behind the carbon fiber nose cowl to fit the SONY HXR-MC1 professional video head at the angle needed. There was but without much room to spare, so it was over to the box of previous camera builds to find some material to start the mock up procedure. This has allowed me to make up a cardboard template that I'll transfer over to 3x3x1/4 aluminium angle to support the video held and mounting plate & that will be attached to a piece of 2 inch 1/4 aluminum flat bar, head in place with 5/16 stainless steal ready-rod.
here's the link to the video I posted on our TikTok feed. click here
Vrod turn signals
by Editor on 11/15/19
What's your opinion?
Amber turn signal lenses or the smoked lenses with amber bulbs?
Think I like the smoked ones on the carbon fiber bike & the yellow for the silver bike. Keeping in mind that the front turn signals on the mirrors are yellow on the silver bike and smoked on the CF bike. It's surprising how the little details can make the over all look of the bike.

Country roads

There was no way on earth that I could have ridden past this place without stopping for a picture! Exploring country roads on a motorcycle is a lot of fun, cool old barns, machinery, foliage and yes there are some ripe smells at times ; )

The Fall is an incredible time to be riding a motorcycle, please keep in mind that as beautiful as the leaves look, they're very slippery on the roads, especially when wet...

Vrod frame for sale
by Editor on 10/21/19
For Sale: 2003 Harley-Davidson VRSCA V-Rod frame.
Price $950 USD + shipping
Details:
Bike was in a low speed accident & was written off by insurance company, I still can't believe they wrote it off!
The bike had damage to the left side, airbox cover, rear fender, rear pulley, handlebars, mirror, headlight bucket, shifter shaft and shifter rod.
The frame has a several minor marks on it and the two places that were noticeably out of alignment were the airbox cover bracket where the two posts of the cover go into the grommets and the "Duck Bill" of the frame under where the passenger's seat mounts. That has been straightened with minimal effort.
I have the legal paper work for the frame and it has a "Salvage" status on the registration.
If you're interested contact me here

I highly recommend taping off the frame and chrome covers when removing the exhaust system, it doesn't take long and it will help prevent scratches.

We absolutely love riding in the Fraser Canyon in British Columbia Canada. I pulled this still image from the rear camera video footage of my brother in law on his Triumph motorcycle. It was a great day, spectacular scenery and the weather was perfect!
