Harley guys DO use Buell parts

Appears the Harley guys like using Buell parts after all (although they might not admit it)

Hint: look at the front wheels [cool]

Looks like the rear too. They didn't want the stock boat anchors slowing thier times down.

Good catch! Guess they just rotated the wheel by 180 degree so the rear pulley and brake were reversed...

Back when I had a vrod in 2004 alot of guys were swaping to the Buell xb wheels. You have to remember that the VRod guys arent your typical HD ridders either.

True. Not enough chrome on the XB wheels for your typical Harley rider...

Alot of the vrod guys drag race on the weekends. Check out 1130cc.com they are some sweet bikes

and the XB wheels weigh what, 100 lbs less, I know, not that much but still, much less than stock solid billet wheels

I have a friend that rides a vrod with the cherry bomb red wheels. They were on it when he bought it..looks good!

I'm assuming you added an extra digit to that number?

even 10 pounds less is a tremendous difference...

Most "True" Hog-heads don't even consider the VROD a Harley though.
