The Victory motor was and still is state of the art, it designers did not stick to a Harley Davidson format, they designed a nearly bulletproof and maintenance-free motor. Here in 2020 with Indian out in a big way and Harley coming out with a new motor/engine in 2017 but it still had outdated technology attached to it being the chain primary, 3 hole oil fill, and 3 hole oil draining. Polaris is smart to keep the rights and ownership of the Victory engine and technology because here in 2020/2021 I see that motor coming back. Those bike Victory produced are still in demand.
I cannot find those forktube covers . I've tried everywhere I can think of . Apparently jpcycles don't have it anymore?? I even tried kuryakyn as well .. if anyone knows where I can find these ease im all ears
Im looking for a street bike to ride around. Would they be a good bye just for riding around. I know I beat the snot out of my Police Bike but I won't be riding like that now.
Very good looking bike, I hope you had better luck with Ness acc. Have same bar which I like very much but the quality of chrome is crap had same problem with some of their other acc. Mike
I am building the same bike, I have a ABS bike also. How do I get the Sabertooth Saddle Bag running lights to work without messing up my ABS? Everyone that sells these specifically says ABS will no longer work if you install them. Love the look, but I am unwilling to no longer have ABS just for good looks. Thanks.
Great looking bike...really! Have you ever taken a fairing off a cruiser (particularly Victory)and customized it to look more like a muscle bike? Would luv to see one for ideals.
This bike was very stable at high speeds and in corners. I was surprised the first time I rode it, because I was expecting the front to feel heavy, but it felt great.
My question is for the passenger pegs Kuryakyn Retractable Passenger Cruise Pegs & Kuryakyn Swinging Pegs I have a 2014 Vic XC, will there be anything else I'll need to make this work?
I'm not a biker so I don't know about quality but the victory looks better than the glide imo. Glide boxie like an 80s Cadillac it looks classing but getting tired of seeing them. Especially if they aren't customized.
Wish they said how much money they spent to make look comparable to harley i would love to test ride it, for any one that say that harley last longer have nt had the cam tensioner fail or primary chain adjuster witch happen around 20k mi
It's too bad that they stopped manufacturing accessories for the Victory Motorcycles people are still upgrading for changing stuff out they should have never stopped money lost
it looks like if you froze it, and hit it with a hammer a street glide special would break out! victory shouldnt try so hard to look like the bikes they talk about! sweet build tho. but i ride a glide! lol
+Badassbri Kicksass Be grateful that Harley has competition from Victory and Indian. its only going to make all the manufacturers better. by the way do you know why Harley in 2000 went with multi piston calipers? because in 99 victory had them. you got better brakes because of competition! Harley dosent really have any mechanical engineers, or a team. and the pressed twin cam flywheels are no match on my evolution! mine stay true unlike the twin cam when the flywheels shift! Harley kept raising the tolerance on the output shaft! wow to avoid warranty work? I would be fixing the problem. I love my 93 FXR wish it had counter balancers instead of rubber mounting, but I love it! peace out, enjoy whats ahead for everyone!!!! peace out
+MJM peace And the v rod, and street 500 and 750 are Porsche designed. there nice bikes also!!!!! Read about the nova project, and im no engineer but I know cast iron cylinders hold more heat than aluminum cylinders with steel liners. AMF could of done that years ago with little engineering or money. evolution saved there butt! when Harley bought back the company.

Wow. One of the nicest Victories I have ever seen.
The Victory is a good bike, and all the custom work is well done.
Very sharp very well done Vic bagger. This CC looks much better than the Mag.
This is one of the sickest bikes I've EVER seen... WOW!! 👍👍
Ah, now I have some ideas for the 2015 Cross Country 8-Ball I just bought today! Thanks for posting!
The stance looks great on that bike changes it completely..
I cannot find those forktube covers . I've tried everywhere I can think of . Apparently jpcycles don't have it anymore?? I even tried kuryakyn as well .. if anyone knows where I can find these ease im all ears
Very nice! Very nice upgrades and improvements. Thanks for posting.
WOW! What a gorgeous bike it's a thing of beauty.
This is exactly the bike I want to build!!! I have a Vegas 8 Ball now!!
Rode Harleys for six years as a motor cop. I wish so much we would of had the chance to go to Victory with their new police bikes.

Are parts hard to get today?
Nice looking bike. Now I have some more ideas. :)

Nice presentation, very well done!

Nicely done. Not overdone. Cheers.
This is a great looking bike .... Not to overboard but it will still turn a lot of heads

Gorgeous bike!
Well after that I’m going to get me one. Everything on this bike makes sense.
Nice bike bro👌👌
this bike wouldn't be sponsored by ness would it?
i know this is from years ago , but what aria helmet is that?
Helo from México! Thats a nice Bike
Hello! thanks
Where is this bike now I'd love to buy this bike
Should of got a shorty antenna. Nice looking bike though!!!!
Beautiful bike. Victory should make this bike. Of course it would run $35K like the Harley CVO's.
the magnum is a dolled up cross country and come in at 24k same drive train though I think.
Did the rake; 23" tire, 16" rear and lowering link affect handling negatively in any way? Any issues at high speed or in the corners?
This bike was very stable at high speeds and in corners. I was surprised the first time I rode it, because I was expecting the front to feel heavy, but it felt great.
My question is for the passenger pegs Kuryakyn Retractable Passenger Cruise Pegs & Kuryakyn Swinging Pegs I have a 2014 Vic XC, will there be anything else I'll need to make this work?
nope. They should come as a complete kit. Ready to bolt on.
Does the bike bottom out from lowering the rear 1 1/2 inches? Would you recommend lowering it when riding two up most of the time?
This bike seemed to still have adequate clearance. It should be fine two up.
was wondering how the exhaust sounded?
So basically you turned it into a magnum. Well kinda!
What kind of windshield is on the bike?
what windscreen are your running ?
I'm not a biker so I don't know about quality but the victory looks better than the glide imo. Glide boxie like an 80s Cadillac it looks classing but getting tired of seeing them. Especially if they aren't customized.
Do the modular bars make slow speed maneuvers difficult?
+Fan Boy No, the bike is pretty easy to ride at all speeds.
What size are those bars?
Are these the 12" bars?
Where can I buy that helmet? And yes I love the bike
www.jpcycles.com/motorcycle-full-face-helmets/mens/black?Ntt=arai&Ntk=All
back then there was no magnum, there you go
+Rhyshene Mathews This is nicer than a Magnum, Victory should drop their freeking colors and follow this model
i think the idea is to be different, colors allow for a more varied expression of the individual
Wish they said how much money they spent to make look comparable to harley i would love to test ride it, for any one that say that harley last longer have nt had the cam tensioner fail or primary chain adjuster witch happen around 20k mi
nice job brow....
the best looking baggers in the world
What engine guards are those
its stock.
Sweet
Are those the 12" Arlen Ness Modular bars?
It's too bad that they stopped manufacturing accessories for the Victory Motorcycles people are still upgrading for changing stuff out they should have never stopped money lost
it looks like if you froze it, and hit it with a hammer a street glide special would break out! victory shouldnt try so hard to look like the bikes they talk about! sweet build tho. but i ride a glide! lol
victory : i wanna be a electraglide when i grow up hahaha just buy a hd;)
Because unlike the Harley... This thing performs like a motorcycle should.
+Badassbri Kicksass
Sorry. All of HD parts are made in Pakistan. Victory is a real American motorcycle.
Replacement parts maybe no apology needed
