Keep your Victory. It'll be a collector's item like a Metropolitan or Rambler after the companydisappears in a few years. My size 13 boots fit just fine on my Road King and Ultra Classic footboards. They also fit under the shifter, but then again I'm not wearing clown shoes. Run circles around a 96ci Harley? I don't think so, but then again I don't go over 100 mph much. My acceleration will slam me back into the backrest as I blast past the cages and lesser bikes, so it's good enough for me.

Hope you enjoyed baiting the fellas here.

Love it more every time I ride it, or look at it for that matter........ I had to put on the Kuryakyn extenders on the pass. because I also had a problem with the placement.

Bruce, I have heard that when you ride side-saddle, your feet won't fit on the floorboards.

All blasting aside, Harley is America's bike, period. I understand Victory is made in the USA, bless them. Hell, their research and design facility is one mile from my house. I toured their facility, very impressive. There are thousands of body type out there, but only a limited number of motorcyle sizes.

The feeling of owning and riding a Harleyis not explainable, it just makes you proud to be an American. You should try it.
