Two Vrods
by Editor on 10/05/20
Over the weekend I had the opportunity to ride with a fellow Vrod owner & friend with his 2007 Screamin' Eagle Tribute VRSCX V-ROD. He's done some very nice upgrades: Screamin' Eagle 16 gauge double barrel muffler kit, Engine guards, backrest, luggage rack, windshield, Avon Tyres, auxiliary lights and swapped out the spoke front wheel for a solid front wheel that was machined to match the slotted rear wheel.
Hope British Columbia
by Editor on 10/04/20
We have ridden through Hope British Columbia countless times stopping for gas at the Chevron then heading towards our next stop. There have also been a number of time where Hope was the destination stopping in at the Tourism Centre to see Brian McKinney who has a wealth of knowledge about this great community.
This barn has seen better days but it's still hanging in there
by Editor on 10/02/20
We find the coolest barns in our travels, some are pristine, some are falling down but they all make a great backdrop for a photo shoot. This barn has seen better days but it's still hanging in there...

We find the coolest barns in our travels, some are pristine, some are falling down but they all make a great backdrop for a photo shoot. This red barn really makes the carbon fiber pop!

Carbon fiber VROD
by Editor on 09/25/20
It's taken a lot of work and elbow grease to get this 2003 Harley-Davidson Vrod to this point, the bike was pretty rough when we got it. Check out the progress of this build here http://www.vridetv.com/projectvrod2.html
Last ride of Summer
by Editor on 09/22/20
It was great to have the wildfire smoke clear and actually squeeze in a ride on the last day of summer. Made my own parking spot at the Mission Bridge ; )
VROD front wheel

Time to give the front wheel a "polish only" without sanding to see what kind of a result that would achieve.

Smoke from the fires in British Columbia
by Editor on 09/14/20
We miss the blue skies and warm summer days already, with all the smoke and poor air quality blanketing British Columbia our riding has stopped until it clears up. According to Global News, Vancouver had the worst air quality in the world a couple of days ago!

Vrod compensator bowl before and after
by Editor on 09/09/20
Here's an update on the compensator bowl for our 2003 Harley-Davidson VRSCA Vrod carbon fiber build. It was a fair bit of work sanding out that casting seam and the rough texture from the moulding process but it was worth it!

Vrod wheels dilemma
by Editor on 09/04/20
So excited to have these wheels back from Ruthless Designz after they cut their #930 design that I placed them by the bike to see how they'll look.
Love it, but now I've reached somewhat of a dilemma, my intention was to sand and polish them by hand and then install them, but that takes a lot of time. Being that it's already September 4th, part of me is saying put them on now and enjoy the rest of the riding season with them on the bike and sand & polish in the winter.
Having the wheels in their current state without tires and rotors is perfect to do the work. If I put them on now I'd being paying to have the tires installed, then pay again in the winter to have the tires removed to do the sanding and polishing, and then pay again to have the finished wheels installed again...
The dilemma...
Solid Vrod wheels cut by Ruthless Designz
by Editor on 09/02/20
Happy wheel Wednesday indeed!!!!
Our 2003 Vrod solid wheels have returned from Ruthless Designz after they have machined their 930 design into them. This is the second set of wheels I've sent and both times they've done an amazing job! I decided to get the machining done only and do the polishing myself in an effort to save some money. The Carbon fiber bike's budget has gotten a little carried away LOL.

Vrod compensator bowl
by Editor on 08/29/20
This Vrod compensator bowl is barely visible when on the stock solid wheel, but once the wheel has been machined by Ruthless Designz, you'll be able to see the outer diameter. There's a fair bit of sanding ahead to get this ready for polish, but once it's done it will look pretty sweet beside that polished pulley on the freshly cut wheel!
Polished Vrod pulley
by Editor on 08/27/20
Made some good progress on this Vrod pulley, it's been sanded with 220, 320, 400, 600, 800, 1000, 2000 grit sandpaper and has had a quick polish to check for marks and scratches. I did find some areas that need some more sanding and then a final polish. Getting close now : )

Vrod side view while riding

I pulled this still image from the carbon fiber monopod cam video footage as I was on Highway 5A in British Columbia Canada. This camera angle works well to showcase our sponsors: Rukka Motorsports, Schuberth Helmets, Fitzgerald Motorsports, Ortlieb, Piaa and Liberty Sport as well as an interesting POV to be added with our front cam, rear cam and selfie cam when editing.
