New Bike Pimpage - Page 2

Now, now, now...

I may not be too big around, but boy am I short!

When I rode with Gibby a few times after he got his XCT I thought the bike was too stretched-out for me -- so I was a bit surprised the 5' 3" officer was riding one. But who knows what modifications they did for her bike to get it to where she could ride it.

That's all my statement meant...

Now for all the short jokes...

The good news is you can easily lower the X bikes up to 3". They also make a lower seat. They even make training wheels so you don't even need to worry about putting your feet down at stop lights.

I think Jared will have to rename this the Victory Bagger Association.

Hell no I wouldn't. If you'd asked me before the "gauntlet was thrown down", I'd have told you what you were in for.

Picked up the bike yesterday. The lower flip windshield seems okay with much better vision. The heel shifter is the bomb...perfect. The pullback bars are awesome...GPS location is perfect...XM Radio installed (but not yet activated). I installed my Utopia 7" backrest (!!!!) and Kruzer Kaddy cup holder last night...all good. I also added my new brackets for my home-made pegs...two thumbs up there too.

They declined to mount my Voyager bag rails or HD trunk rack, which bummed me out but I understand. All the Victory racks have pre-marked holes to drill and they did not wish to go out of their comfort zone with custom installs. I returned the bag rails for cash and will mount the HD luggage rack myself. That will require bending the rack legs a tad so it better matches the trunk surface...something else they did not want to do.

Still waiting on the pipes (Witchdoctors), driving lights (Police style from Arizona Victory) and tank bib...but they should not be far off. Getting very close to having this thing well appointed and ready for the riding season...!!

SCHWINGGGGG...!!!!
