This custom gray ops version of our RSD Black Ops wheels will match nicely to our steel gray powdercoated frame from
Olympic Powder Coating. Whatchyou think?

Many a
tale has been told about the peg-legged pirate. There’s something just
so mystical about these single-appendage legends. After much research,
we’ve determined that these stories have been passed down through the
ages for one simple reason; one-leg just looks so much more intimidating
than two. I’m not saying we should all start chopping off one of our
good legs but… a custom single-sided swingarm on a motorcycle kind of
does the same thing. We
thought this V-Rod deserved a little character so we bent up some 4130
chromoly tubing and fired up the TIG welder and made her a custom
peg-leg of her own. We found a Ducati Hypermotard shock linkage that we
wanted to utilize so we fabricated an upper mount to house it. The
custom built Ohlins TTX shock came to us sprung and valved for our
500-ish lb. machine, direct from Ohlins USA with help from their road
race technician Eric Knight. As you can also see, K&N was able to help us find an air filter to fit just right.

We got our turbo in from
Trask and hand fab'd a custom exhaust for it using components from
Burn's Stainless. This turbo, in conjunction with
Zippers Thundermax self tuner, should make 160+ HP. Now we just have to find the right
K&N filter to clear the bodywork.

The last Vrod we did was circa 2005, so it’s been a while since we’ve attacked Harley’s Porsche designed stepchild. Our Vrod will be a little different than most. Single sided swingarm, 1098 suspension linkage with TTX shock and Ohlins FGR Radial Mount Busa Forks with custom RSD designed triple clamps and stem Clip ons. Hand built bodywork all the way around. Custom fuel cell, Rear sets with custom mounts and linkage. Trask Turbo with custom Stainless exit. RSD wheels and brakes and tons of other shit we haven’t thought up yet. In short, Vrod madness.
