I agree in regard to air cooled engines. The VRods are completely different animals. Also, The HD Stealer experiences do vary.
A friend of mine is a Service Manager at HD Stealership, he told me that his boss does not like selling VRods. When I asked why, he answered that they don't need work, pretty much just the maintenance only, so the stealership does not make much money on them after the sale. But their service bays are full with air cooled Harleys all the time.
HD has been making water cooled engines since 2002 and there isn't much bad news to be found about them. It figures, since they were designed by Germans...
My Honda dealer is very pleasant to deal with, too. Not much fun to go there as there isn't much to see in the store. I wish that Honda Dealership would carry more accessories in stock like HD guys do.
