Welcome aboard! That's a nice looking bike you got there.
A dog had his chain reduced one link at a time, every few days, until his chain was so short he could barely move. He never resisted because he was conditioned to the loss of his freedom slowly, over time. Are we in this country becoming like the dog?

I found it to be pretty different. I sit higher in the Victory and it's obviously heavier - but not hard to hold up or anything. The power is in a completely different league. Excellent stock seat - at least for my end. It's also very roomy. I can hardly tell that my wife is on pillion.Sweet Tooth wrote:How was the transition from a 650 to the Victory? The Victory is a 1600 right?
One of the things I noticed that I really really like is the position of the speedometer - it's right on top of the headlight. Since I wear a full face, I don't have to tilt my head down to see my speed on the tank - it's already at the bottom of my view. Funny how small things can make a big difference.
My bike has the 92ci/1507cc Freedom motor. A stage II would take it to 100ci/1640cc. Most of the new bikes have the 100ci motor standard now.
It's a sweet ride.

It was a paint option for the '04 line. Most of the Vics have some type of custom looking paint option you can get. I usually go 150 miles between fillups. The gauge tells me theres about 1 gallon left after that but I end up putting only about 3.5 gal in for the 5 gal tank. There is no reserve so I can't take it to the limit to find out just how far it really can go...sharpmagna wrote:Dude, that is a fancy paint job ya got there. Is that stock from Victory? What kind of range do you get on the bike?
ThanksWelcome to the forums too.
