I joined this forum this morning so I could respond to your post. Let me just reiterate what some others have already posted:

Futhermore, there are a lot of performance mods available for the early Vic's (rocketrodgers, LloydZ, pmrt, etc....).
I bought two totaled Vics and a new frame from Victory and build my own early model Victory Custom. I will not say it was easy but I really enjoy having one of a kind. Early model bikes are becoming more scarce and sometimes late model riders don't even recognize them but don't you worry we early model Vic riders can appreciate a round tank.
