I realize that this is a RoadGlide forum and that this will not be that popular here but... Here are a few pics of a Night Rod Special that I converted last year. I have since ridden this bike all over the lower 48 states. Just wanted to share!

I like it. How does it run and handle?

Whacky, but life is short, so why the hell not.

Sweet ride! Thanks for sharing. Lets see some more pics with the saddlebags off! i bet its a blast to ride!

 

[Triplej]

Tell me you are you going to be at the Rally in Kerrville in June so we can check it out in person right

That's nice! How is the riding range? Can it do 150+ miles on a tank? It looks like it's designed that way. I always thought the V-Rod motor would be a great platform for the touring line. Good job, you probably didn't expect such a good reception here eh?

Don't be afraid of living with an open mind,,, your brains will NOT fall out!

Personally, I love it. Only thing I'd want to change is the rear fender, to make it conform more with the bags.

 

[Shrug]

That's bad ass! I agree about the rear fender, but I've ridden a few VRods and they rock. You did a great job. Saw a couple of them at SWIII and they were really nice. What kind of mile range do you get?

 

[Screaminz]

Love it! I really wanted to buy a breakout and convert it just to be different. You did a pretty good job on that and I would guess it runs pretty well. Be great if you could bring it to Kerrville to see it in person!

 

[Big_gary]

Very nice. I agree , the rear fender needs changed.

 

[Grapnel]

But if you changed the fender much, you wouldn't be able to see that fat tire...

 

[ch_bandit]

Would like to do the same to the V-Rod of my wife, cause she's storing too much on my RG

Looks great!!!!!!

 

[chilidogtampa]

I don't know if its the angle or quality of your photo or if that bike is just done better than others, but ive seen other V-Rod road glides and yours looks way better than the others, it looks factory. good job.

Thanks for the replies everyone!
I will be attending the ROT rally the weekend before but being as I actually live here, I should be around in the evenings during shark week.
The Vrod rides and handles very well with the fairing and bags. I have always preferred the RG fairing so I feel right at home on this bike.
Fuel range is the big downfall... it has a 5 gallon tank and gets 30 - 38 mpg depending on how it's ridden. When on a highway trip running 90 mph, I start looking for a gas station at about 120 - 130 miles depending on where I am.
I toyed with the idea of a full rear fender but I do like the fat back tire look for now. This is not a show bike or anything... it has nicks and scratches and gets ridden a lot. I ride it more than my other bikes just because I enjoy riding it so much. I was over at the dealer the other day looking around and am planning on another new Roadglide soon but I don't plan on getting rid of this bike. A lot of people ask me what model it is... many think it's factory until I tell them otherwise.

Here are a few pictures from my ride down to Leakey yesterday. If ya'll get a chance, be sure to do the 3 sisters ride south of Kerrville.
