I live near Lloyd'z shop I have a 2008 Victory Vision, stock except for chrome. I have no desire to race my Vision. I intend to ride it like I stole it for the next three years or so when my extended warrenty has expired I may be tempted to take my Vision to Lloyd'z.
I was looking at the New Triumph T-Bird it is a 1600 cc liquid cooled engine there is a Big Bore option that bumps it up to 1700 cc it is a dealer option not a factory one so I figured if I had bought the T-Bird I would drive it for many years before seeking the Big Bore kit.
I just can't see buying a brand new motor and removing parts that have not had a chance to fail.
Just my opinion
Buddy... Without touching the internals of the motor or changing the stock rev limiter, Lloyd can give your Vision 111 HP and 111TQ for $1800.00 Installed,and tunedincluding all parts & labor. Why wait?
Mufflers, Airbox, Fuel Controller, and Vision cams. You ever ride a bike that makes 100 Ft/lbs of torque and building before 2200 RPM? Let me tell ya, there's nothing like it. Load the bike with gear, put a passenger on the back, head up a mountain... the bike won't bat an eye.
So you would have no use for better performance, even if the fuel economy stayed the same? What's that, 26 more HP? Downshift? What the hell for?
I was just thinking the other day that if my bike just made 26 less horsepower I would be truly happy with it.
If my bike was not preforming well my dealer would have a headache until it was fixed.
I think if someone is racing their machine it justify's the cost but in normal street use my Vision preforms very well and when she has 100,000 miles she might need a rebuild and a new exhaust system.
I was not trying to offend anyone. I posted the Article about Lloydz to try to give the OP some info on the man and his location so he could find out more.
As far as upgrades me I'm a if it ain't broke I don't try to fix it kind of guy.
I would never tell someone not to buy the best parts they can find and install them.
Me I will get new exhaust pipes when thestock'sfail ,if there are better pipes available I will consider them.
Same with my 106 motor.
I have a great looking bagger that hauls me and mine anywhere I want to go.
