The V-Rods are some of my favorite cruisers - I'd especially love to own a Street Rod.

no! carves it up! that 240 is a 30 series tire! lays right over and besides you ne a big contact patch considering it has more whp than an s2k and weighs 600 #

best of both worlds- forward controls, drag pegs, progressive suspension with ohlins w/ remote rez, lowered, heading to San antonio this weekend to run some back road s with my son- ( in our s2k's)
