Just got her Thursday

Good afternoon Ladies and Gentlemen;

I have wanted a Victory for some years now, and I just never really got one. I've had 30-40 motorcycles throughout my life. Victory has been the one that eluded me.

Well, the other day I was on Craigslist, saw this bike at my local HD dealership. The bike was perfect, the price was right. I went there, started her up, and immediately went to the bank.

Next thing I know, I was riding home with my 2016 Magnum, 4400 miles. So, far the only think I had a problem with is the exhaust scrapping on hard corners. I read through these pages and realized I can add air in the rear shock, and it raised my back up about 2 inches. No more scrapie scrapie...

Anyways, guys and gals, please let me know what you think.

Welcome and EXACT same instance! Went to look at another HD, and my buddy said to get into his shop! Rode it home that day! Never even made it to the floor! Sits right next to my first HD...also a bagger from me as a much younger man, 22 years ago! Had many others, before and after! But, kept my first HD! Shes seen Dynas, Racebikes, many quads and now my YXZ! But these two will remain...until my college kids have grown into responsible home owners...and will be the coolest girls on baggers!
Congrats and SHE IS A BEAUTY!

Thanks for all the responses, guys. I've taken her out a few times now, put a few hundred miles now.

The more I ride, the better it feels.

The Vance and Hines exhaust is incredible. One of the best sounding bikes I've heard (totally unbiased).

I am looking to get some baby ape hangers (just to raise the bars a little, not too much), and that's about it.

I kinda think she's perfect the way she is..

Again, thanks for the nice friendly comments, Victory Fam. Keep'em shiny side up!!!

Congrats! But it looks like someone stole your Forged roll bars painted to match, and all the subtle black pinstriping you had done to make it perfect,,,,,,,,,
