In this video I take my 2011 Harley Davidson V Rod Muscle out for a cruise to discuss things I wish I had known prior to buying this motorcycle. This was my first Harley Davison Motorcycle (cruiser). I primarily had ridden sport bikes prior to purchasing this bike. After two years of owning this bike I wanted to give an updated honest review of my experience with it. However, ironically enough the bike started giving me problems and broke down. I will share that experience with you all in the next video. My V Rod Muscle has a Tab Performance Exhaust on it. I also own a 2014 Yamaha R1 and a 2019 Husqvarna 701 Supermoto.

Thank you bro! I feel like most people get stuck riding one type of bike their entire riding career and never branch out...I wanna change that. Every bike has its pros and cons just like owning a truck vs sports car vs sedan vs etc. At the end of the day we're all just out to have fun and get home to our loved ones safely. I appreciate you watching bro 🤘🏾 #FastLaneGang 🏁

@@FastLaneD I agree, I grew up riding dirt bikes and now I’m on a R6. I want a Harley Street Glide next.
Budman riser for the vrod muscle is definitely a must it improves comfortability a ton. I bought for it my vrod and didn’t think it would change it that much but it brings the bars far enough back to where I don’t feel like I’m leaning into it at all and you don’t have to change cables which is a plus

yup, great product.
I've got a 17 Night Rod Special, I rode mine from West Palm Beach Florida, to Newburgh NY. Took me 3 days of straight riding up to 10 hrs a day. I gotta say besides the heat in August, I was pretty comfortable on it, and I'm 5' 8". Getting a bag for the bag is a definite, whether you choose the ones from Harley or other brands. Love my VRod and hope you fix the issue soon and enjoy yourself.
I have a 2006 v rod street Rod and I can go canyon carving with it. It comes with mids like a sport bike and it also has 120 hp at the rear wheel look them up. This particular model was built in 2006 and 2007 only.
Bought mine new In 2014, only had cooling fans fail, just did the 20,000 mile service, runs strong as ever, just need to keep up on all service and you should have limited problems, ride safe bro.
I got to catch up on your videos I have been working a lot 😅 VRod is looking strong 🇺🇸🤘🏻

Just ordered new tires for my gsxr nice video man your bikes are nice✌️🇨🇦
I have the 2015 muscle, I had the same issue with the bike shutting down, I replace the battery and so far no issues. Funny you mentioned not doing a cross country trip on your V-Rod, I'm planning on for hopefully this summer might be riding through Georgia.
Bro the same thing happened on my vrod muscle and it was the voltage regulator. I think the part was around $160 and it is easy to replace. I had Harley test the battery and the stator prior to diagnosing the voltage regulator as the problem.
Ty man, I just bought an anniversary. Glad I purchased it, because tha vid. ✌🏻
That laugh is infectious! 😂♥️Have a great day! Stay safe out there. #1

Hey bro, we gotta talk, I have a 2010 vrod muscle. Looking to doing some things on it.
How much would you pay for a 2013 with 7500 miles ?
I love your channel just started watching you
I’m not sure if that a common thing with vrods I have a 04 my first bike ever started doing the same thing. I’m opting to buy a different back now. I love the muscle style of it but tired of the issues bike been in Harley shop back to back and probably still hasn’t been fixed
Sweet video man. Sorry Ivy's acting up on ya! If I ever had to convert to HD gang I would certainly go with the Vrod :') Keep up the great content!

I Love the riding forward Controls, Have an 03 Silver Anv(12 yrs) w/ forward, also 05 CVO Cycle Visions from factory, Road Glide/Bagger with floorboards, nice but looking to make it easy to convert to forward controls, then if Long trip , switch to floorboards. Also have 32 tooth front gear for trips, It will wind out LONG time in every gear, slow out but top end!!! Adios Vatos!!!
The fastest Harley-Davidson ever made, I love it, currently I have just 3 HD bikes and one of them is a V-ROD, but believe it or not: The best sounding is my old and original Sportster from 1975 ;-)
Hey man let me know when you get back in Georgia. I got a 2021 road king special you might wanna do a test ride on. I’m loving the 114 on this thing, I’m already wanting to do a stage 2 but ya know how it is, it’ll never be enough. lol. Anyways, yell at me when you’re back out this way
Extended handlebars on a vrod, so badass and comfy

Bruh...Ivy got a case of COVID. Just kidding...your voltage regulator is bad. Easy fix. Two screws is holding it on to the front of your radiator intake cover. Exact same things and symptoms happened to me in February. You’ll be back up and running soon! Good to see you back on her.
I like how you say it’s not cheap n put those little prices up lol I know some people don’t have it but compared to car parts that’s nothing
Abs lights usually the speed sensor
People that say "it's not a real Harley" dont know what they're talking about. The design is Harley, even the engine. Porsche helped refine the engine. Obviously they need help with, 600+lb bikes with barely 100hp stock. Decent torque but...eh😒 Not to mention drivetrain losses.😕. It does look dope though.

Hey man look up Harley street drag racing , you'll see some dudes with wicked fast bikes
Any difference between 2008 and the post 2010 models of V rod or night rod? I'm getting ready to make bad life choices and buy one. Also, I want speed and mobility, but if I plan long distance runs, I've decided the best combo would be the Vrod, best of all worlds, is that a correct assessment? As for cornering, I'm worried about that on this bad boy to. And would I look like jackass riding this thing if all the young kids are riding their sports around me in a group, difficult question, mixing groups and all that haah
The green light is kinda China light thing:)
I get gas overflow almost every time I fill up my vrod

@@FastLaneD airbox cover and relocating the speedometer into it. Changing the handlebars and adding risers so I can sit back a little, like you said the seating position isn’t terrible but leaning slightly forward like that for a long time is killer on my aging back, lol.

Big " D " Awesome video 👍 I'm thinking that Ivy cutting power was some kind of safety measure programmed into the ecu when there's something awry that could possibly cause engine damage 🤔 Hoping it's nothing major 🤞🤞 I got a video for you to look up by a brotha goes by Riding Tall if I remember correctly , he's a Harley dude , but stops in the Indian dealer next door to his Harley dealer , and he films this dude that works in there who has tricked out Indian Scout that's bad to the bone , and it's fast and mean sounding 😁 Check it out and let me know whatcha think 👍 Hope you get Ivy back to normal real soon 🤞🙏 Let us know what it turned out to be . Stay safe Big " D "

I'm betting it's electrical, since a bunch of systems all went south at the same time. Either the battery or the voltage regulator. As a cheap first step, I'd check the battery connection and then eyeball the ground lugs on the frame for corrosion.

The one thing you need to know before buying a V-Rod. Parts for it are all obsolete and discontinued. You can't get parts for it if it breaks. If you can get them you're going to pay out the ass.
