I have an 02 VROD (got it in 2009), lots of mods, lots of fun and great to ride. I have travelled throughout the country on it (4 different islands).
I am lucky as I get to ride pretty much 9 months of the year (except during the monsoon season).

Thanks, they are loud as they have no baffles. I am using a Cobra Autotuner and have no decel pop or issues with mileage.
I bet your bike is fun on "the Dragon". I have read about it but don't live in the US anymore so no opportunity to ride that. I got plenty of places here though that is similar.

Most of my life I've been a speed freak with a death wish. Always road rice rockets. KZ 1000 bored out. GPZ1100 rocket. Spitting lanes on one wheel over a buck was my morn. Ya ya I know but I'm still here so F it.
After the wife starting spitting out kids I had to start giving a **** about staying alive. To slow down I went to HD,s.
Problem is I still have a hard time not splitting lanes doing a buck. Although at over 850lbs I can't get the wheel up on the highway.

I used to ride this. 49.3cc of pure doom!

Currently ride a Harley-Davidson Switchback.
First pic is how I normally have it setup, second is it setup as a pseudo-touring bike for longer trips.
Third pic is my old Honda Shadow. I wish I had kept that bike.

Mine. A heavily modified and tuned 04' VT750 Shadow Aero. All the customization was done in my garage, including paint. Took from this;

I have Kaws in my garage...
Took home this left over 2013 Honda NC700X today. Getting on this after a cruiser is almost like learning to ride again.

And that is still one sweet Shadow. A lot of work went into that.

Sadly due to my hard drive biting the big one I lost all but one photo of my Trumpet I sold a couple of years back. Bad lower back injury made driving painful. Was a stretched 1975 Triumph 750, hard tail, springer front end and forward controls. Did I mention zero springs in the rear with the seat mounted right to the fender. Fun ride but nothing you'd want to throw into a turn. Sorry about pic, all I have left that I can find. Now I regret selling it. Pic was taken after a light rain as well.

Someone has stolen your engine!
WTF's up with the air/fuel ratio line, that has more waves then the bay does at the moment and it's pretty stormy.Mine. A heavily modified and tuned 04' VT750 Shadow Aero. All the customization was done in my garage, including paint. Took from this;

Edit: is that carbureted? Gotten so used to looking at fuel injection a/f ratios that I forget some times and I see it's an 04.
My new to me dresser, setting it up the way I want it for the season, it's come a long way from what I bought
Puts out respectable numbers, 102hp, 106 ft/lb torque

Yep. Carburated and has all of the smog control crap stripped out.
Last year of the line to have a carburetor, IIRC.

It's a 1973 R75/5, toaster tank obviously. My dad purchased it new and rode it until 2004 when he upgraded to an R1150RT. It sat for a while before I could convince him to part with it :rockin:
The one on the stand is my 2004 Suzuki VL800. Bought that brand new 11 years ago fresh out of high school.
The older one is my new bike i just picked up and need to start tearing down. It's an 81' Honda CX500 with around 14k on the odo. It'll be a project for sure but so worth it when I'm done.

Had a CX many moons ago, what's you plan? Bobber?
More of cafe style. Want something I can zip around down the coast here.
Pretty windy roads that the Suzuki handles well but I want more of an attack postion heading into the corners instead of the soupy ride I get from my cruiser. Don't get me wrong the wife loves the Suzuki and the rides we go on but I just want that solo bike I can go out and have fun on.
I had a C50, the replacement model for the VL800. A bit vibey at 70+, but a great bike. It was my commuter for several years and did the job well.
Yea that's the only drawback to the smaller c50/vl800. The gearing is wierd for the higher speeds and it vibrates awesomely haha. But if you swap in a modified C90/VL1500 drive it's supposed to drop the final gear down a bit and the rpms aren't so high causing that shake.
