You're a good man for stoppin', Chris.
Regarding the V-Rod....
I remember when H-D first introduced the bike and the magazines did a write-up on 'em. One of the major complaints about the machine was that with it's offset triple-clamps and subsequent long rake, the bike felt like it wanted to fall into turns and didn't give the test-riders a very secure feeling when attacking the twisties. The sense was that it was a great motor let down by dodgy frame geometry.
Kind'a looks like the poor dude you helped out, might have found this out the hard way.
