Hey Duane, what did you decide to do? Inquiring minds want to know...
Just saw this thread and Terry pretty much covered everything. I added the baseplate, sissybar, and backrest. I decided to go with black because I thought it matched the paint better on the orange/black 05 model that I have and it doesn't stick out. I agree that crash bar just doesn't work on the Vrod. I also think it looks better with the turn signals relocated. But in addition to looks, I had an issue with the nuts vibrating loose on the way from Myrtle Beach the day I bought it. The only other thing I'd recommend you look at very closely is the weld from the bottom right frame to the foot brake. Hogasm told me there was one other place that was notorious for a bad weld but I can't remember where it was. Maybe under the seat or around the gas tank. You might want to PM him for details.
I love the red. I actually wanted red to begin with but then I saw the Black and Orange in person at Suck Bang and Blow in Fall 2005.
Go for it! You won't be disappointed!
