Victory Motorcycles: Adjusting The High-Ball Handlebars For Multiple Riding Positions

The High-Ball was Victory's first motorcycle to feature mini-ape handlebars. One of the benefits to these bars is that they are easily adjustable so that tall and short riders can have a comfortable riding position. In this video we demonstrate the multiple positions of the bars on the Victory High-Ball

News flash: almost every bike can do this 😂

Great video. Thanks for this. I am on the short side too and was concerned how difficult it would be to adjust the bars on these bikes.

I own a 2012 High ball and if anything the peg position is set more for shorter riders (shorter legs). I am 5'10" and I had to purchase the $50 2" peg extension set from Victory. If I were much taller I think would have needed the 4" extension.

Victory makes a set of hard/soft bags for all the vegas/kingpin models that will fit this bike. They are hard plastic (i guess plastic) on the inside and leather (nagga?) wrapped. They are over $1000 last time I looked and kind of ugly on this bike imo. You could probably get something nicer custom made or aftermarket for not much more.

Can't any bike do this with ape hangers?

[@pharoBomb]

Yes.... but no. A lot of bikes with Apes have set holes on the handle bar for the throttle and brake res, if you have the red at an extreme angle you could get air in your lines and possibly die cause you can’t stop good 😂 lol

Andy, (the short Andy), how comfortable were your legs with those front controls? You look kind of stretched out.

Victory has one of the worst wire and cable management systems on their handlebars. All the other bike manufacturers have a mess of wires and cables also. You would think that here in 2012 the manufactures would be making there front ends a lot more clean by running the cables and wires inside the handlebars.

adjusting handlebars? WOW thats something new

[@Vanrocco66]

Do they make hard bags for this bike like the Hard Ball?

[@shaneitsaname6135]

Looks absolute shite with the bars low. Not cool at all .
