Ride
05 RIII
I had, two complaints about my 05 R3. One the headlights, two cold weather starting.
On e-bay I bought a set of LED dual headlights for $75. shipping free and, a 1.4kw starter to fit 98-05 camry.
No more cold weather start problems and I can see at night without my Wife leading the way on the V-rod!
Happy Rocket pilot.

Leading the way on the vrod, how dare you even suggest a vrod can be in front of a rocket say 100,000 hail marys or whatever it is that the Catholics do and report back

It's not hard for a 150 rwhp 570# V-rod to lead a R3 and the headlight was, better!

Geez!..thats good HP from a Vrod considering they are around 123hp at the crank for start..like the muzzie sitting at the back too...nice toys!!
 
That must be a heavily modified V-Rod! I followed a modded V-Rod onto a dyno a few years ago and he made an absolute ton of noise and 108 rwhp. He was expecting 120hp. I made 150 with a header and K&N's.

I am only putting out 209hp at the rear wheel so the vrodcan read my plate(depends on how good a rider your wife is quite possible she will leave me standing)

Fortunately, for me the Wife is afraid of the bike. We're often asked which one is faster. The V-rod on paper.
