2003 VROD rear brake master cylinder assembly

by Editor on 06/27/23

For Sale: Genuine Harley-Davidson rear brake master cylinder assembly. Just took it off my 2003 VROD it was in working order, but had a very, very small leak as I did notice brake fluid present on rubber boot. (Still had lots of fluid in the reservoir) I suspect it needs a seal. Price $155USD + shipping & all PayPal fees.

VROD steering head adjustment nut

by Editor on 06/05/23

New bearing races, new bearings, new seals and brand new lower triple tree installed. The adjusting nut was where I stopped for clarification on how tight it should be because there was no torque spec for it in the service manual. Since this picture was taken a mechanic reached out to me on social media and said finger tight then a half turn with a brass punch. Then final adjustment during fall away test and setting.

2005 VRSCSE CVO VROD BLUE colour matching chin spoiler

by Editor on 06/01/23

What's your best guess?
I wonder how many 2005 VRSCSE CVO VROD BLUE colour matching chin spoilers were made? 
There were only 446 bikes made in that colour and these were not a stock item, but could be ordered from HD parts.
Whatever the number is I'm super stoked to have one.

VROD chrome rad bezels

by Editor on 05/31/23

These genuine Harley-Davidson OEM chrome bezels were approximately triple the cost of the eBay knockoffs but worth every penny! I was super happy to have found a brand new set available at a local Harley-Davidson dealership, they did have to order it from the warehouse, but that was fast.
The fit is absolutely perfect.
