Where do you ride?

HandVman — Thu, 23 May 2013 05:51:19 +0000

Mostly I ride to work...rain or shine, down to 29 degrees. The roads can't have ice. One real trip from St. Louis to Sturgis and back. 2000 miles, 500 per day. Only been on two group rides. Since I'm a realtively new rider, I pay more attention to the other bikes, that I don't get to see much scenery, so I don't like them so much yet. End of August I plan to ride out to Denver, up to Sturgis, and swing by the Victory factory in IA. Can't wait.

Which "lowers" are best on the Xroads??

notaharley — Thu, 23 May 2013 02:36:30 +0000

I scanned through like 16 pages of posts in the XR forum and out of hundreds of threads, I found 3 posts.....none of which answered my questions!
Soooooo....it seems that EVERYONE AND HIS BROTHER is riding a XC on here, except for HalfCrazy and Kingpinbob, lol. There are a ton of wind management threads for the XC..... But what about the Xroads (which we all know is the better bike! Haha)?

I need to cut down in the wind coming up from below. Which is better--- the CeeBaileys (I have forged bars) or the fork-mounted style of lowers? What about all around value for the $$ ? Appearance?

I would like to hear from Xroads owners on this. Our windshield is shaped much differently than the big batwing on the XC.

Thanks in advance for the help !!

Helmets: Akoury AK-88 vs Crazy Al's CRA90 vs Outlaw Slim-G

BakedBIzkit — Thu, 23 May 2013 00:43:54 +0000

Hey all,

Just wandering if anyone out there has any of these helmets and what your thoughts are (Akoury AK-88 vs Crazy Al's CRA90 vs Outlaw Slim-G)?

From what I've been able to decipher it seems like the AK-88 and the CRA90 are the same thing, but I haven't been able to confirm it for sure. The AK-88 and the new Slim-G look almost identical in pictures but I've read several reviews indicating that the Slim-G is giving a huge shrrom head now as opposed to Outlaws recalled Slim helmets.

So...anyone have any input here?

premium or non ethenol gas

dave-scs — Wed, 22 May 2013 23:46:35 +0000

Is it worth putting non ethenol gas in the tank when you can find it or is premium just as good? whats your opinion? small engines seem to run a lot better on non ethenol.

SilvrT — Wed, 22 May 2013 20:57:03 +0000

Read on anothe forum where somebody removed the rubber air silencer under the gas tank and that, along with the disconnecting the 02 sensors improved performance. Anyone here know anything about these rubber air silencers?

Where's Gunny?

CJBiker — Wed, 22 May 2013 20:35:24 +0000

It seems like a very long time since I've gotten any Victory emails that contained videos of "Gunny". I always liked that advertising campaign. I wonder why they're not using him anymore? End of contract?

XCT Trunk tail light full of water/scratches

rbleighton — Wed, 22 May 2013 18:25:14 +0000

I bought a "Victory" cover for my XCT, after a couple of months I noticed the tail light was getting scratches all over it. Also after a rain the light had water in it. I files a claim with Victory and they said it is not covered.

Has anyone else had the same problem?
