New version of our rear camera mount
by Editor on 06/20/24
One of the many things I like about the Corbin saddlebags is how close they fit to the rear fender, the only drawback for us was our rear camera mount cage wouldn't fit. The Harley-Davidson saddlebags had a space between the fender that the support cage utilized, with that gone I needed to figure out a way to adapt it.
This is what i've come up with so far, still need to add four more fastening points through the rear fender and into the steel inner fender support.
Replacement for Corbin license plate bracket for VROD saddlebags
by Editor on 06/19/24
When I bought the Corbin saddlebags the license plate bracket was missing, so i reached out to a guy in Florida that has a set to get the measurements. He said he could make me an exact replica if i wanted, I gladly accepted and paid him.
Unfortunately the guy who did the welding on it did a poor job, there was basically no penetration on the side that broke, resulting in a brake in that spot.
My choices were to have it re-welded or make a better & stronger version. Very happy with the way it turned out and how it is completely hidden.

Time to ride this rare 2005 Harley-Davidson VRSCSE CVO VROD
by Editor on 06/11/24
Looks like it's the blue bikes turn to come off the lift and ride since our silver bike needs a new fuel module assembly. Good to have a back up bike ready to go!

Thought it may have been a little early to ride to the Apex Mountain Ski Resort but the road was pretty good, free of sand and rocks but a few pot holes needed to be dodged.
ROCK found in VROD radiator shroud
by Editor on 06/01/24
I have NEVER seen this happen
Couldn't believe my eyes when I saw the size of this rock in the radiator shroud. Roughly and 1 1/4 in length and weights 15 grams.
Incredibly lucky that it didn't put a hole in the oil cooler or radiator, my guess would be it hit the oil line or maybe the side of the shroud then fell to the bottom
Back story: I was riding up in the mountains on a paved road and heard something hit the bike, unsure what the heck was going on I pulled over to check the bike. Didn't see any obvious damage I just assumed whatever it was bounced off the chin spoiler. It wasn't until I got home and shined a flashlight into the shroud I discovered the rock. VERY LUCKY
