    Doesn't really look like an oem sprocket, I know HD made chain drive in the past but that looks like a hack job.

    Harley's were always Chain drive in the past and there are kits to make them chain from belt.

    I think that is modded from a belt drive to a chain drive.

    That's a V-Rod. Came with a final drive Kevlar belt. Model was discontinued in 2010. Converting that bike to a chain is a sin. Hack.

    All Vrod models came with a belt drive. That is just an aftermarket hack. Harley stopped using chain drives in the early 90's in all but their raceonly motorcycles.

    Thanks for the link, must admit to not knowing much about the V-Rod.
    Based on the Stock picture and the one below this bike is just Wrong, Guess the rims are from a 636R ?
