    Polaris should’ve kept Victory as a secondary line to Indian. Nice review Kaptain.

      +HARMARSCH2 I agree but I understand why they did it. Indian just has such a history to it where Victory was just starting to move from the shallow end of the pool to the deep end but they didn't want to take that risk. Thank you for the wonderful comment.

    The victory 106 puts out 95 hp and 113 ft pounds of torque, the specs you listed were for a 100ci

    Nice bike man. That white is sharp!! What kind of passenger footrest are those?

    • @KaptainGranite
      @KaptainGranite  3 роки тому +1

      Those came direct from Victory when they were still producing them. I know Kuryakyn makes some identical to these. JP Cycles has those on sale right now.

      I bet! I really want to get up to stage 2 this year on my bike but not sure that will happen. But the tri oval would be the way I’d go.

    Ha! Great video, great bike too! Seriously thought about getting a used one.... But the "not making them anymore" put me back to a Goldwing. PS thanks for subscribing! I lived in Belmont NH for about a year back in the late 80s, worked at Shaw's in Laconia. Aaah, memories!! Stay well, Patrick

    You need a 1/4 turn throttle ring it's amazing how it changes your bike.

    How does your passenger like that seat and backrest for a long trip? I like the CC for most of my riding but want something that my wife can start to do more long rides with me.

    • @KaptainGranite
      @KaptainGranite  4 роки тому

      My wife loves it, I also got the passenger footrests and those were a big must. I honestly wish I could find a plush mustang seat for it or maybe I will add a gel pad to mine. I rode about 500 miles the other day and I was a bit sore.

    Nice review, have the same minor complaints about my XCT. Maximums tuner, lloyds air cleaner and tri ovals will get you 100hp and 110 ft/lbs at wheel

    Do you have any problem with buffeting? If so what did you do to get rid of it, my wife says the wind on her is excessive and I have to wear ear plugs on my 2016 magnum I just bought it a few weeks ago

    • @KaptainGranite
      @KaptainGranite  4 роки тому

      I do I ended up getting a taller windshield but I really need the 12in. Currently have the 10in. I also want to get lower fairing wind deflectors as most the wind coming in is right up under the fairing.

    • @joecat1973
      @joecat1973 4 роки тому +1

      Kaptain Granite is it the fork deflectors or the lowers on the crash bars

    • @KaptainGranite
      @KaptainGranite  4 роки тому

      There is actually lowers that attach to the fairing that should help. I have now only been able to find them on eBay.

    It's a real shame that Victory is no more, but I can understand why they did it all the same. Thankfully they've been killing it with Indian and Polaris has not been shying away from spending on R&D, so at least it feels kind of worth it in a perverse way. It kind of makes your bike all that much more special now, I hope you ride if for as long as it's possible.

    • @KaptainGranite
