I love the bike! Compared to the modifications I would need to do at most other Harleys in order to be satisfied, there is quite little that I find that I need to do on the V-Rod. Change the exhaust, that is, in my view, a needed first step. That makes other bike-owners stop babbling about how quiet and "socially responsible" the sound is (or perhaps they are still babling, but you cannot hear them with the rumbling engine 
)
