Man that JACKPOT is SEXY!

great looking stable you got going on there.
something i would like to ask you though and i bet i will get a straight answer since you own both bikes. how much more power does the 109 have compared to the jackpot??

thanks

Dave....without a doubt,the m109 ,,leaves my vegas in the dust...even with the stage one kit on the vegas its still no contest...2nd gear its, bye bye..I rode a few weeks back with my victory buds and kinda showed them what the zuki had...flicks in the corners good and and run like a scraped ape...(bought the victory after the m109)(and I didnt buy the victory cause it was fast.) I REALLY love my victory also..It has lots of Bling ,,great power and is just more comfortable and easier to ride(especially on longer trips).....With my frame(5.10 and 220),,the victory is just plain FUN all the way around(gets better mileage 2, 45MPG vs 35MPG)...I've logged about the same amount of miles on both this year and only had the victory 3 months vs.all year for the zuki.I'd like the zuki more if the aftermarket wasnt so slow about gettin it done,,.(wheels,chrome access,etc)...Straight line,,,go fast all time ,,hands down the zuki...Bling,,Great lines,,hardly no plastic parts,lighter... smoother lines,,better fit and finish....victory hands down..and no issues at all,,where the m109,,has been back to the shop 3 times..and I ended up fixin it myself...oh,,better customer relations with the victory dealer vs. the zuki dealer,...I wont be back for nothin there(zuki of florence,Ky)..Sorry so long.... Laters

Tray
Hows that jack sound with the straights on it?

Dave, what kind of pipes do you have on? Would they fit a 05 Kingpin?

davef03TC · 10-21-2007, 10:25 AM

the pipes are just the Victory stage 1 pipes. and all that you see are the heat shields. i have never heard of anyone putting them on a kingpin.
why do you ask are you looking to move some kingpin pipes
so ya got one on each side and can mount bigger hard bags?

that seems to be a common problem amoung some kingpin owners.
but i have seen it done.looks good to and you can put some bags on them that can hold some goods. the stock bags are a joke about the size of a football. IMO one of victorys problems they are building for solely the looks of the bike, and just dont seem to worry much about the function.

im glad i ride a TC with the huge bags i carry alot of tools,spare parts and crap.
probley 40lbs of extra weight at all times. but if i or anyone im riding with have any problems we can usely get em home.

if you dont know about theVMC. check it out. it is the best source for Victory
info that there is.
