Its black bodywork, red wheel pinstripes and broad rear tyre give it a restrained street-bike stance, while the exposed turbo hardware adds a much more serious mechanical edge. ## A V-Rod with its hardware on display Most of the motorcycle remains neatly finished. The tank, radiator shrouds, front mudguard and tail are coated in deep black, with slim red accents tracing the wheel rims. That dark palette makes the silver cylinder-head fins and polished exhaust silencers stand out without turning the bike into a collection of unrelated bright parts. The riding position is still recognisably muscular rather than race-focused. A low, stepped seat sits behind the large fuel tank, while the wide handlebar and forward- set controls suit the V-Rod’s long, planted proportions. Twin rear shocks and the substantial front brake assembly reinforce the impression of a road-going performance cruiser. ## The turbo installation changes the conversation The close view reveals the feature that gives this build its name: a large turbocharger mounted beside the V-twin, with its compressor housing, intake filter and connecting pipework left visible. The installation occupies the space where a conventional V-Rod engine presentation would normally be the whole story. Here, the additional plumbing and metallic surfaces turn the right side of the motorcycle into an engine- room display. That arrangement also explains the mix of finishes. The turbo hardware and exposed pipework are bright and industrial, while the surrounding frame and engine covers remain black. The contrast helps the forced-induction system read as a deliberate focal point rather than an afterthought hidden beneath bodywork. ## Clean bodywork, purposeful exhaust The twin exhaust silencers exit low and rearward on the right, with black header sections leading into bright cylindrical cans. Their compact, stacked arrangement preserves the bike’s low profile and leaves the turbocharger visible above and ahead of them. At the front, a round headlamp, conventional fork treatment and a wide front tyre keep the design grounded in street-bike practicality. There are no dyno figures, boost numbers or riding impressions in the supplied material, so the most convincing evidence here is visual: Big CC Racing has made the forced- induction conversion impossible to miss while retaining the V-Rod’s original visual identity. It is a performance custom that communicates its intent through exposed engineering rather than extravagant bodywork. ## Photo Gallery [⌊Big CC Racing V-Rod Turbo. 2⌉⌊Big CC Racing V-Rod Turbo. 2⌉[ [⌊Big CC Racing V-Rod Turbo 4⌉](https://custommotorcycles.info/wp-content/uploads/2015/04/Big-CC-Racing-V-Rod-Turbo-4.jpg) [⌊Big CC Racing V-Rod Turbo. 3⌉](https://custommotorcycles.info/wp-content/uploads/2015/04/Big-CC-Racing-V-Rod-Turbo.-3.jpg)
