As you know, I'm no lover of HD, but I can't see trying to make that Kingpin work out on the road...

At least there is a HD dealer every 100 miles...

A guy at work has a FatBob,... looks just like that. He let me ride it. I like it a lot. Cool lookin bike.

But they only run 300 miles per day.

Those are all examples. I believe he'll make just about anything you desire--it's only $$.

Yep that is a big plus when you are on the road. Paid off for several people in ES. As did the hardware store with some southern engineering repairs.

He ain't my cousin or the like. You'd have to ask him. All I know is the set I had on my FXST were well made and fit well too.

What do you know...you ride a gas hog.....
(like me)

still really like my kingpin tour delux....


have had no problems cam chain tensioners, or other wise, (the 08 vics have hydraulic tensioners, not ratchets springs) nothin but normal wear and tear....

if you go with any performance victory, S&s etc. they run pretty rich at idle. have to clean my throttle bodies every 5000 miles. take tank off clean TB's put tank back on $100.00 bucks a dealer, i do it in an evening in the garage....





imho overhead cams are way nicer than pushrods....adust themselves...

Hmmmm, I read that post somewhere before, but without the picture.


Where was that?

Grateful for all the Victory input......Being a novice, it's nice to hear from some knowledge and experience.....
Will do a bit more research on Harley and Victory before deciding....
