Hey congrats on the new bike.
15 years of sportbike riding myself before getting my 2006 Night Rod about 6 months ago. First thing I did was swap out to mid controls. I absolutely could not do forward controls after all those years on "crotch rockets." That being said, I'm 5'8" and 150 lbs. With how low the seat is, mids on a VRod will be quite a bit more cramped than on your typical sportbike, but I'm okay with it. The 1130cc Revolution motor is amazing, and even after being on everything from Gixxers to CBR's and Aprilia's and Buell's--the VRod is my all time favorite bike.
I've just got a Power Commander, K&N, and VMod stock pipes and she rocks.
Have fun!
