I'm also swapping the handlebars for Dragbars because it's no fun hanging on with bent arms on the motorway. Being 6'3" I am swapping the foothangers for standard Hammer ones to give me the important 2" extra legroom. A stylish and fairly attractive cruiser on the go is the Victory Vegas 8-Ball which features a tasty blacked out style with an elegant fuel tank, a unique headlight, lean back handlebars, and a fat rear fender.The motorcycle is powered by an efficient and smooth 6 V-Twin 4 stroke 50 degree V-twin, fuel injected, counter balanced engine with a displacement of 1731 cc. Handling is excellent for this type of bike just needing a bit more counter steering than a roadster type bike, this is good considering that 250 mm rear tyre. It's a shame a tank guage wasn't included in the scrolled displays instead of just a fuel light. There is a gear indicator and a clock with the usual idiot lights included withing the dial also. There is a digital rev counter and you can scroll through this with the odometer and trip by use of the headlight flasher type switch on the left bar which is a sensible and convenient. The intruments are all contained in the one chrome covered unit, giving an clean unfussy look that I like. ![]() ![]() The gearbox is very precise and and easy to use with 6th giving 60 mph at about 2000 rpm. The motor is a peach with plenty of lazy power to give serious shove in any gear and there are enough vibrations to give some character without becoming uncomfortable. Had the bike a week, only managed about 200 miles so far because of the weather but I'm very pleased. ![]()
