    Front Guard - Does it exist

    Been search and searching. Heading up the Dalton this June. Keep thinking I'd like to have some sort of guard across the front, just under my headlights. It just looks like a "catch", and I'd want to protect it. Am I overthinking this? I mounted some dual horns under there to replace the...

    Bar Pullback Recommendations

    Not 100% sure on either of your questions TG. I bought the bike used 3 years ago. I think it's 2"up and 1" back, but not certain. Not even sure the bars I have are factory or if they are some aftermarket that already pulls them back. How can I tell that? And yes I have seen many chiros and...

    Bar Pullback Recommendations

    Already have some riser/pullbacks on my '15 S10. I must not have "orangoutang arms" because I still need another 1-2". I can't do ANY forward leaning due to an old whiplash injury that aggravates quickly, so I have to be sitting back. I also have a Victory Cross Country Tour with an obvious...

    SOLD Russell Daylong for sale

    CycleDude...why the change? Did you not like the Corbin? Are you looking to sell it? I'd like to get a RDL, but I can't afford the add'l 1" height...I'm already on balls or toes

    Thinking about a lowering kit. Need some advice

    Sierra1 I appreciate the input, and I've given that some thought. Granted...it's a completely different seating position, etc, but I can ride my Victory all day and my ass doesn't burn like it does after an hour on the S10. I can't afford the rise in seating position to try a Gell pad or...

    Thinking about a lowering kit. Need some advice

    HiJincs63....Thanks so much for that. That is great info. What aftermarket seat do you have? I like the center stand and that would be unusable if I lower. I'd have to get a shorter kickstand too...but that's just part of the package. I'd rather not lower. If I could find an aftermarket seat...

    Thinking about a lowering kit. Need some advice

    At 30", I am inseam challenged. Currently at balls of feet or tip toes. I have no more leg height to give. The seat on my bike just does not fit my ass very well, and after about 60 mins, my buns are burning. I'm looking seriously at a Russell Day Long seat, and that will raise me another...

    Diesel problems

    Embarrassed to admit I did the same thing. Siphoned it out, refilled with premium and rode. No problems at all. Often these thongs don't need to get "over thunked". A cup or two of diesel iced in with 5+ gallons of premium gasoline? No problem

    Trade up or expand the fleet?

    Question for y'all on the ES thing. I just bought my 2015 S10 with ES. Rode it home to Mpls from Boston three weeks ago. How do you actively use the suspension? Do you ever change it? when? Is it an off road/on road thing? Just not sure how I should be taking full advantage. Also on the...

    New Member from Minneapolis

    Be easy on me...been riding a Victory Cross Country Tour that I bought new in 2012 (now with 60K miles). Bought my 2015 S10 three weeks ago specifically for a planned trip to Alaska next year (now bumped to '23). So I'm going to own this S10 for awhile...and I'm liking it a lot. Bought it in...

    Location of PIAA Lights...and headlight modulator recommendations

    I believe that is the entire point Tenmen. If it's annoying to you, imagine how annoying it is to the cager about to turn left in front of me.
