Does any one make a seat for the V-Rod that is a solo one with a cover for the back or that removes the back seat kinda like they do on sport bikes? I was thinking that the cover could almost make a little glove box, but I could even live with getting rid of the back seat to clean up the lines a bit if the seat fit right and still gave enough lower back support for those high speed launches.

I have searched here and on Google and seem to come up with the same results.

Corbin does and it looks sweet if you ask me, but I know how pricey their products are. They are the only maker I have seen. http://corbin.com/harley/vrsca/streetrod_smug.shtml

I don't know, it was a good idea but like most things Corbin to me they all look like after thoughts that don't belong on the bike that they are on. Thanks for the link I appreciate it.

I did see this and a video of this bike on UTube, I really like the single sided swing arm, but the tail section is almost to sport bike for the lines of the V-Rod IMHO. It is a sharp bike though.

The only person I can think of who's done this is Zeeroder. He ordered from Ricks Motorcycles. See link above.

Good luck. Rick's is having some problems with their fiberglass production, and there isn't any way of knowing turn around time. I have had one on order for about 6 weeks. You can find a couple of bikes in the gallery that have Rick's fenders if you want to see different setups.

Here's something from Stephi's Italian site. I have been thinking about talking to the guy who painted my fender and see if he could do something similar for me. I would like something sort of like this, not exactly, but along these lines using the stock front part of the seat.
