Harley-Davidson Onyx Premium Luggage Tail Bag

by Editor on 10/04/23

Having no saddlebags on my bike is a P.I.T.A. for me.

I've got stuff that I need to take on my rides: Camera gear, snacks, water, jacket liner & pant liners, etc. So I need to find an alternative and this HD tail bag seems to have solved my dilemma. (Big shout out to Rick Takasaki for helping me getting this to me)

Info from the HD website:

Did you know Harley-Davidson and Porsche teamed up on the V-ROD?

by Editor on 09/19/23

"A New V2 Engine for the Harley V-Rod Under the development name Revolution Engine, in 2002 development partner Porsche Engineering developed a new V2 engine for the V-Rod model of the American motorcycle manufacturer Harley-Davidson.

Against the backdrop of a collaboration stretching back to the 1970s, the Porsche engineers constructed a water-cooled 1,131 cc motor based on a racing engine that delighted Harley-Davidson's demanding clientele both for its performance as well as its imposing sound. With a DOHC valvetrain and electronically controlled fuel injection, the VRSC-series Harley with its four-valve engine put out up to 120 hp."

After removing all the grungy old OEM nuts, bolts and washers and replacing them with Colony chrome hardware on my 2005 VRSCSE CVO Vrod and seeing the difference it made in the over all presentation of the bike, I couldn't look at my 2003 without thinking I gotta do the same to this one.

Progressive Suspension

by Editor on 08/22/23

Ordered up a set of Progressive Suspension standard rate springs to replace the heavy duty rates ones I have in 444 series shocks right now. Also ordered the tool so I can do it myself.

These will give a softer ride since the HD ones are preloaded for someone 250 pounds and up.

BLUE CVO VROD

Loved Colony chrome hardware so much, doing another bike!

by Editor on 08/18/23

After changing all the grundy OEM hardware on the 05 CVO, I just couldn't bare to look at my 2003 knowing the difference it would by doing the same thing. So I placed an order with Colony and the box of awesomeness has arrived!

That means Chrome Friday is back & I'll be making weekly postings again showcasing each product being used.
