[Victorya]

I am interested in and curious if anyone else has already replaced their Victory controls (and cables if needed) with Harley or preferably aftermarket controls made for Harleys?

I am hoping it may help reduced clutch cable breakage (been there done that once already) as well as give us more options in hand controls and handle bars.

On a similar note interested in changing foot controls too for similar reasons.

I ride an 04 Vegas so the wiring may be a little easier than on some of the newer versions with auto canceling turn signals and such.

Thank you

The vision replaced the cable with juice, that make help you.

The controls have changed a lot since 2004. Maybe some late model Victory controls? I'm sure Arlen Ness has some too.

I think your bike would be very upset with you and probably refuse to run

Would you put Yugo parts on your Cadillac?

Harley Controls on a Victory will not give you that Potatoe Potatoe Potatoe sound, Victory's are labled as metrics.

I am in the process of doing that exact thing to my '04 Vegas. I have procurred V Rod brake and hydraulic clutch controls, silver in color and a pair of sweet silver switch assemblies. I also found a year old Victory clutch slave cylinder and line. The reasons for my change over are mainly due to the fact that I also own a Harley, and when I ride one and then the other, I sometimes get all "thumbs" when working the switches. Making the controls the same on both bikes simplify that. Plus, I just perfer the looks of the late model Harley controls. Added bonuses are... I can mount the turn signals (with running lights) right under the clutch and brake perches. When wiring is all competed, my turn signals will auto cancel with the use of an aftermarket canceling module. And having a larger choice of mirrors to choose from (although I prefer the factory HD late style). There will be some issues to over come such as making the wiring work..easy, and that Harley bars are dimpled for the wiring to exit the switch housings (Victorys are not) I think i've found a set of bars made for internal wiring that should help sove that problem. Only thing left is to come up with a way to fit the fast idle control somewhere under the tank where it can be accessed for cold starts. Sacriledge... maybe. But when it come to my comfort, saftey and being able to react quickly and not be all thumbs on the controls.......

I had some SAC grips from an FLHT with built-in cruise control that I wanted to use on my XC. They fit after I spent some time grinding out the some of the switch perches. Now I can use any HD grip on the XC. Those grips were $150 and felt just right to my hands. I didn't want to lose that because I switched over to Victory.

I bought the Hydraulic clutch before replacing my broken cable only to find out the clutch lever did not match my brake lever so I returned it.

If the cadilac had an inferior product, absolutely.

Not looking to make a HD wanna be, just trying to make Victory a bit better. I look at it like women with bolt ons, I prefer the OEM but sometimes aftermarket just improve the asthetics.

Here's a photo of what i've accumulated so far......

I also got a set of damaged donor Victory switch controls so as to mate the wiring harnesses so it will plug into the factory harness and be reverseable if needed.

I have performance machine controls, Harley grips, and barnett custom cables. if you get it all it is a simple switch.
