2004 Harley-Davidson VRSCB V-Rod

VRSCB V-Rod™ Model Overview
VRSCB V-Rod™ is the second model in the VRSC family. VRSCB is a familiar theme for Harley-Davidson customers – it features raw, clean, polished components similar to the FXST standard and FLHT Electra Glide Standard. Likewise, its black frame, black components, graphics, and instrumentation housing give a tough, brutal style reminiscent of bikes like the FXSTB Night Train and FXDX Super Glide Sport. The VRSCB V-Rod™ maintains the performance features of the V-Rod: 115hp Revolution Engine, 49mm fork rated out to 38o, 180mm rear tire, triple disc brakes and more.
