    Hi Joe. I am interested in the differences between and A model frame and R model Frame. Is the main part from the headstock to rear outside the same between the two models? You can email me @ jamieepauls@yahoo.com

    Hi CPTJAM, First off thanks for all great info you have posted on this site! With that said I am starting my road rod conversion this winter. I have a 09 muscle I bought new & figure its time to make it a bit more road Trip ready. This past weekend i picked up a set of HD hard bags & a Road glide inner & outer fairing, I have been following your hard bag mount blog and I am interested in how the project turned out. As far as the fairing Mount I have heard everything from it cant be done to it's a piece of cake looking for your opinion. I am working with a very skilled mechanic and any tips or input at this point would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks in advance

    Hi, I am the owner of a 2013 VRSCDX and I am looking to install a GRCustoms Cobra rear fender. I would also install the Assassin one piece seat but this will not fit correctly with a sissy bar base plate also installed. So I am looking for a custom seat and I saw you sent a PM to someone else in one of the forums who had asked a similar question. As such I was hoping to inquire if you perhaps knew of somewhere I could get a custom seat made?

    Thanks Joe. I am going to take some time and think this through. I still have my R and it works just fine. I may go to a touring bike for long distance rides and use the R for shorter stuff. I have never been a fan of the 240 tire. I will keep your offer in mind if I decide to move forward with a Muscle conversion.

    Thanks much for the advice. I am going to keep the R and I think I will do up the DX with a batwing and have a vrod Road Glide and a vrod Street Glide.

    Joe;

    It is time for me to think about getting a new bike. I have ridden an R with the road glide fairing for 7 years and I may look to turn a 14 DX into a bagger. Do you have any saddlebag brackets left? If so, how much? Can they be used on a 14 DX and what bags would be used with the bracket? Thanks for any info you can give. My alternative is to go with a Muscle and the Harley bags available for it. I would prefer something that is waterproof and larger. Tom

    Hi,

    I read on the 1130.cc forum you might be the person to ask about HD saddlebag brackets. I am currently in the process of converting to a bagger and have the fairing mounted...bags are next.

    I read online that you may have made a few brackets. I can totally weld up my own brackets, but I am wondering what you used as a starting point before you cut/welded any brackets. More specifically, I am wondering what model (soft tail?) you used to cut the brackets and weld your own mounts to it.

    Are you still looking for a swap to mid controls?

    I have a black 2006 VCRSD, WITH MIDS and want to go to forwards, so I can install a bigger tank...

    Thanks Joe , have you used the vortex cone yourself or have you heard it to know it makes a difference, when I took a ride with the cfr I`m glad I had earplugs.
