    LOL. Certain traditions don't mean a thing to 'em. It looks like it's been customized - or do they come that way?

    I know it's a good bike looks cool too. I just don't know if I could ever own a Harley copy though.

    So you only own Ford cars. Good for you. But there are a lot that are buying Ford clones. Just for perspective.

    I agree with the Arlen Mess compare. Just for me all these "cruiser" styled V-twins that came on the market are wanna-be HD. I Know that they are probably better engineered and all ( so don't send me hate mail) but the look is HD and Indian original. JMO.
    BTW, I'm the type that will drive several hours just to buy 100% VERMONT maple syrup rather than blended syrup or maple syrup from any other state or country.

    As for Victory the Arlen Ness stuff makes the bikes look horrible. I wouldn't buy any other Bike but Harley. I think their quality is very good and so they are using the same basic V-Twin design, gee it has worked for longer than most other bike manufactures have been around.
