    I would agree with you about the bikes rake as a little extreme but everything else about this V-Rod leaning towards Cafe’ looks really cool. Excellent job and my only negative is the trick rear suspension; although very cool, a twin shock set up would have kept it more traditional cafe’.

    Super Cool nonetheless

    I like it. I picked the sportster for my cafe build (a safer choice), this is a good looking bike. The rake is out of place for a cafe, but sweet custom none the less. The bar end signals are pretty cheasy too. If it had to be 50 state legal a more traditional signal may look better still. Its still an amazing bike that I would never part with.
