	Street Rod Builder
		We occasionally overhear conversations at street rod events such as: "How does your brake system work?" "What kind of components did you use?" "Well, mine doesn't do that, but I feel this when I push on the pedal." The pedal is a good indicator, especially to the well-trained foot of a seasoned brakeman.
		Street rods are really under-boosted, which is why in this story we are trying to get the most out of what we have on the cars (providing we are using the correct components).
		Most street rod builders won't have room under the chassis for anything bigger than a 7-inch-diameter booster (because most framerails are 6-7 inches high), when in reality they should use the larger diameter booster.

	Street Rod Testing and Performance Evaluation - Street Rodder Magazine
		Street rods are to performance as high heels are to fashion.
		Rodding's roots are deeply buried in performance on the street, at the track, or out at the dry lakes.
		We are looking for street rods that can supply us with data to fill-in the "performance gaps" so that all rodders will benefit from the various powertrain (engine/transmission/rearend) and chassis (front/rear suspension and brake) combinations at work.

	Enjoy The Drive -- An All-New Street Rod
		The cool thing about street rods is you can start with a vintage car or truck--or you can build one completely from scratch using all new components.

		Rod and Diane have been taking home trophies from those shows, and they enjoy cruising in their very comfortable, modern '34, too.

	Motorcycle.Com: --[ 2006 H-D VRSCR Street Rod ] (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-23)
		The Street Rod is based on the V-Rod platform, with modifications that move the rider's hands and feet into a useful position for controlling a motorcycle (unlike the ass-low, feet-foreward position favored by the V-Rod and other "cruisers".)
		The Street Rod's distinct styling and upright riding position are the result of a new suspension combination, highlighted by massive 43mm inverted forks.
		The VRSCR Street Rod is available in five stunning color options, including Vivid Black with a fl frame, or Black Cherry, Rich Sunglo Blue, Mirage Orange and Yellow Pearl all with a silver-leaf frame.

	2006 Harley Davidson VRSCR Street Rod Motorcycle - First Ride & Review - Motorcyclist Online
		As mentioned in our first look at the Street Rod, this variant of the V-Rod Cruiser uses 43mm inverted fork legs set more vertically than the conventional fork of the V-Rod, more massive triple clamps and a shorter 66.6-inch wheelbase.
		Part of that is due to the Street Rod's weight, which runs in the mid 600s with fuel.
		The extra inch of travel that the Street Rod offers over the V-Rod at both ends makes it more stable, controlled and comfortable on bumpy roads, and it passes over both big and small bumps more smoothly.

	Harley-Davidson Street Rod Review Test
		I had high hopes for Harley Davidson’s sporting new Street Rod as the original V-Rod was already one of my favourite cruiser style bikes.
		In fact Harley has gone so far with the improvements to the Street Rod that no other cruiser on the market has a snowballs chance in Hell of keeping the Street Rod in sight once the road tightens up and serious cornering enters the equation.
		In tight sub-80kph corners I have little doubt that a good rider on a Street Rod would be able to stay ahead of an average sportsbike rider in tight terrain.

		Look it over with tjose critical Hot Rod eye balls and let me know the good points and the bad points as this would be my first Rod.
		Al and Streets have already blasted the color, and even if in person it doesn't look so harsh, it is major dated.
		There are a lot of pretty nice rods out there in the $25k range that are better built than this car (at least from what I'm gathering from the pics), and if you needed to sell it either on purpose or because of an unexpected need, you'd come out better.

	PM: 2006 Harley-Davidson VRSCR Street Rod
		Harley-Davidson created the VRSCR Street Rod from the VRSCA V-Rod, and a new front end allows the 617-pound Street Rod to handle much more nimbly than its parent.
		The low-rise handlebars arch you farther forward, ground clearance is up by over 1 in., and the lower-restriction exhaust with straight mufflers makes room for the Street Rod's new footpegs, which means an easy 40° of lean.
		After 8 hours in the saddle north of San Diego and over Palomar Mountain, we're still dumbfounded that there's V-Rod DNA in the Street Rod, because this is a completely different, all-purpose motorcycle.
