Fuel System, Gasoline · at 13,000 miles · reported Aug 10, 2010
I have a 2006 vrscd harley davidson night rod motorcycle. My fuel gauge no longer works as of monday august 9, 2010. I have had sporadic readings where the gauge will drop to a no gas reading to a full gas reading to an actual reading to an un actual reading. The gauge has never stopped working completely until yesterday, more than 5 years after the warranty period expired. I have tried turning the bike on and off and I get a zero gas reading and zero gas movement from the gauge. Again, it no longer works and is stuck at the same level. Many, many V-rod owners have complained of this failure…

Wheels · reported Jun 20, 2006
Unstable riding conditions when riding in 10 MPH and higher winds. Motorcycle feels like its coming out from underneath you. I've driven off the road on several different occasions. The stock wheels on my harley davidson vrod are solid with small slots. These should never been installed. They offer a up-grade that is 10 spoke which has no problems with cross winds.
Steering · at 280 miles · reported Jun 19, 2006
This afternoon I rode in about 20 MPH winds and it was extremely dangerous. It felt like I was riding on ice or glass. Any slight burst of wind pushed my motorcycle into a dangerous lean. I felt it the most while traveling at speeds between 30 and 45 MPH. I've ridden many different makes of motorcycles and have never experienced anything like this. I did not feel like I had control and even had to pull over a few times to avoid loosing complete control.
