Hammer 106 vs Jackpot 106

I'm in the process of trading my sport bike for a cruiser, and I've narrowed it down to the Hammer 106 and the Jacpot 106.

To those of you who have ridden both, what were your thoughts between the 2? Which one did you like better and why? Was there any difference in ride or performance, specifically on twisty back roads? I know the Jackpot is a few inches longer with a larger front wheel, but how much does this actually effect the ride and performance?

Is this too many miles?

Im in the market for a highball now and found one thats super clean, loyds cams, ecu flash, nice seat, 2 owners, new tires looks like a really nice bike from the pics. it has around 34k miles. Should i wait for a lower milage one to pop up or snag this one? They are getting harder and harder to find in my area. I know these engines are bulletproof but it just sounds high. Like what could the bike be needed by now? What should i look for if i go see it in person? How long donthe clutches last etc.?

My desert Magnum!

2016 Magnum X1 custom painted by the legendary Rick Corgan, had Scott from Conquest Customs ship her out to Phoenix for me. Coming from one of Scott’s custom Jackpots, over to this…man it’s like riding on a freakin lazy boy.

Vision good for long distance 2up touring?

Haven’t had a big bore cruiser since my 03 VTX 1800. Gonna do most of Route 66 w my gf who has little experience riding in back.

I like the looks of the vision and good specimens are pretty cheap near me. I don’t want the vibration I’d get from a Harley though I like the idea of American built.

Would this be the choice model from the victory lineup for this trip? Or would you look at a different model or just another mfg?

Got a gunner

Looking for some cheapo bags to put on her, any body got ideas? I just bought some engine guards to put on and I'm looking at a sissy bar, I want to turn this thing into a good looking touring cruiser

A little late to the cross countrybuffeting party, but here I go.

I have a 14 xc owned it since brand new but been parked for a bit, at 6'2" the wind is insane and makes my neck feel like I need a chiropractic adjustment. It seems the madstad windshield was the fix but no longer exists. Any homemade fixes or anything to address this. I commute 65 miles each way and would prefer to not have my bell rung every day. A full face helmet made it a tiny bit better but still have that pocket of turbulent air right at head height. I've heard windshield replacements done really help and the fork lowers help a little bit, but they're a few bucks for a "little bit" . Thanks in advance.

Coolant warning?

Hey all, couple questions I hope someone can help me out with. I've got a 2017 victory octane. I'm semi-mechanically handy but I have not worked on motorcycles much. Have a warning e on my dash so I thought my coolant level was low. And I guess I overfilled it is there a good spot to drain some coolant? Second question, when should the fan kick on? I had it warm enough to about 170 and the fan didn't kick on. Third question, just want to make sure I'm correct that these are the two drain plugs for the oil? Thanks in advance!

Added a horn and compressor to my 2012 Vegas 8-ball

I did this so I don’t have to pull the clutch off when making some noise. Always in control of my speed/throttling. Figured I would share in case any of you have been pondering the thought of doing it. Bought that moto horn 3.0. It’s been 2.5 years since the install but I still got it on. Had to unscrew the back and clean dust out of the back of it once since it got so dirty that it quit making noise.

Air shock install on vegas

Bought a Arnott air shock to put on my 2012 vegas but the cruise control module is mounted on lower left side where the air compressor is supposed to be installed. Any suggestions appreciated, no I don't want to not have cruise control.
