V-Rod one-off special!
21 January 2002 00:00
TAKE one dragster inspired V-Rod, shut Willie G and his styling team in a closed room and this is what he’ll come out with.
Built as a one-off special to show just how far the V-Rod can be taken, the standard bike’s look has been even more enhanced with a fat slick on the rear and the front and some dropped handlebars. The clocks have been replaced with some even smaller items and the pipes end just past the engine.
It sounds absolutely magnificent, though unfortunately we weren’t able to ride it. To match the bars the footrests have been replaced and moved back so you get that real dragster laying down riding position. The top of the fake tank is also louvred to get more air-flow in to the bike.
Unfortunately no more is known about the bike, and most senior Harley staff didn’t even know it existed until Willie G had it loaded in to a truck. But one thing’s for sure, it’s bound to provide a lot of ideas for custom bike builder the world over.
