Which would be best for the V-Rod....
beam type ? 0-75 lbs? 20-150lbs
Unless you are really getting into major engine and transmission work, the 0-75 lb/ft beam type will handle most everything you need. Get the 3/8" drive size - since these are the socket sizes you'll need most often. The rear axle nuts are about the only thing you'd need anything over 100 lb/ft. for on a "regular" basis.
The beam type generally are cheaper and easier to maintain. The clicker style, while more convenient for busy technicians, do require periodic calibration. I bought a smaller "microtork" clicker style to handle the smaller fasteners on the hand controls, etc. (torque measured in INCH/ lbs.) but for most of these you could probably go by feel. A drop or two of Loctite comes in handy here too - even if you get the torque just right, a lot of the screws have a nasty habit of buzzing loose, usually when it is least convenient for you.
