    Hi everyone

    Firstly i must own up to not owning a HD

    I currently ride a Jap cruiser but have liked the VROD since I saw one

    Trouble is i'm 6'4" @ 110kgs so I take up a lot of room and the missus isn't a stick insect either.

    I really love the look of the muscle but i don't think the missus will fit on the rare times she comes along.

    Can anyone advise if the Muscle can be modified to fit two up comfortably or is the VRSCAW a slightly better option (or should I give up and just go Softail)

    Seen a new seat for the Muscle by Corbin which looks like it could help but can't find any reviews on it yet.

    Cheers Chris

    Thanks RAB
    I prefer the Muscle but if the pillion seating issue prevents that option I'll probably look for an 08/09 VRSCAW as black on black of the NRS not really my cup of tea.
    Considering a 105 Aniversary VRod but never seen the copper colour in person and only bikes for sale are ex east (I'm in Perth)

    Well I lashed out and bought a Muscle this morning.

    Missus loved it and said she'll squeeze on somehow

    Next two weeks until delivery are going to go slow

    I have had my VRSCF since last November, 3300km on it now - I had problems with the ABS not working, since rectified by Frasers.
    No regrets, it is an AWESOME bike. I have been told "s'not a proper Harley mate" - wont repeat what I told that particular flea.
    I have seen pictures of the Corbin seat on the US of A forums - no thanks. My other half won't get on a bike so the standard seat is staying.
    I have TABslip-ons on it now - sounds great, and had a SERT fitted & dynoed earlier this week.
    Big numbers at the back wheel for pub bragging, main thing is the bike is more responsive and doesn't backfire on deceleration.
    There is a lot of bare alloy sufaces to polish. Something I don't mind doing of an evening - I don't ride it to work and I don't like riding at night.

    My missus just bought a yellow vrod muscle this week, handles much better than mine but mine is more comfy, already has pipes,power commander and air cleaner ordered and looking at the burliegh bars also, its definately more chunky looking next to mine

    It's amazing that there could be slightly different riding outfits / accessories for each type of Harley. I think with that bike, you need a full blown leather racing outfit!
