Here's a pic I took of a V-Rod fitted with the ghost orange paint set at this years ROT Rally - sorry it's not great, but you can at least get some idea of the contrast with the frame etc.

Cheers,

Kev

harley just finish mine at 7 pm , got off the bike at 11pm...love the pipes! and didn't even wake up the nieghbors. nice and queit up to 4000rpms and after that you and everybody else knows thier there. as far as power goes it seems faster, but maybe its in my head? harley service said they had best results with them on the dyno. i had the vh exhaust,power commander, and a s/e air filter put on.with dyno. total $1200.00

Hey Kev,

What kind of seat did you put on that ??
Cuz they'll be days when I'll have to put my wife on the back of mine.

I just cant get over the amount of money you pay for painted skins and you still do not get radiator side covers and a matching clamshell. These paint sets just do not have a finished look. Other than that I think the orange ghost flames look pretty good.

It's not my bike, but from the looks of it, I'd say it was stock, with the touring backrest.

I have the Touring Passenger Pillion on my bike which the wife is OK with, but she much preferred the Sundowner which was on a loaner we had.

Cheers,

Kev
