I don't like mid controls for cruising.For making passes down the track they put the ride in a better position for wind resistance.I don't race my big bikes,I just make passes down the track so that I have an accurate time and mph reading.It's fun.It's probably easier on them than when I street race.I love the look on peoples face when I keep up or pass them when doing this on the street.I have never been on the track,on a bike,for bracket racing.
Yes I have ridden other years and models of VRSC's.
The difference in the rake on the 06 CVO's and the 07's w the 240 make a big difference in the ridability of the bikes.The opened wheels really make the bike easier to controll at speeds over 100mph and in dirty wind from large vehicles.
I lowered my 03 for looks.I cut the rear shocks and installed the progressive springs and SE oil in the front.I put a 240 wheel and tire in the rear and weld smoothies for rims.The anodized skins and solid wheels make the 03 for me.The wind wobble is definatley the stock wheel design but never has bothered me or scared me enough to ride w white knuckles.I don't carve canyons w it so I'm safe not rubbing the chrome off my parts.I took a Badlander reach seat and modified it so that I sit over an inch lower than stock and 2 inches back from stock and I'm comfortable as hell,i'm 5' 7".I have a new seat ordered for the X to modifiy so my butt will be in a lower riding position.I'm saving all of the original parts because the X is a #ed bike,[highlight]mine is # 41.[/highlight]
I want to make some passes and a dyno run w the X before I modifiy the engine,so I can have before and after comparasons.
I have had the 03 11.80 and am hoping for a high 10.90 on the X.After this spring the 03 will be in the low 10's and still be reliable for long cruises.

Vgirl,what part of the country are you in?

07X....how do I know what number is mine?

Thanks,

Jorge

All righty...I'll bite...why the trade, if you are willing to share the thought process.

07X...I have been in Tampa area this weekend  and  I traded my VRODSE '05 for one like this one yesterday....I went  to the dealer with no intention in purchasing a bike and I got this.....we will be in touch and congrats for yours [smiley=xyxthumbs.gif]

WHAT?   How did I miss this one???  I thought you loved the 05 Vrod?  After seeing it up close, I wasn't as taken as I originally was!  I saw a few Vrods yesterday that I really liked the paint on!  For instant the HD custom skins in Candy Apple Red (with only 150 made)!!!!!   If I had a silver frame and regular console, I'd order a set!  The black with purple flames are not bad either!!!!   But a trade?  NOT YET!!!!

Congrats Jorge!  I know you'll love it!!!!!!

... lucky you, I ordered mine in october but I am still waiting for news (news not bike... ) from my dealer, here in Europe no one has seen the VRSCX, rumours one was at Colonia Exhibitition in november but here in Milan at HD stand they presented the Sportster prototype and the new Buell (Erik Buell in person was here to introduce it).. my dealer says it ll arrive .... well usually in europe SE model arrive in the period between february and april (my FLHTCSE04 arrived in may!!) but the strange thing is that RK SE arrived last week and no one knows anything about VRSCX (there are unofficial news of about 35 pieces in Italy as the VRSCX will not be sold in France for example...)
... in the meantime I sold the Buell and my wife is using my FLSTC02.... mmmm    :-/
