2012 VICTORY HIGHBALL - Featured Bike

[@jeffpalmer5502]

Cool bike. I rode a stock one for a day. I liked it!

[@3_AM]

They’re great bikes!

[@precipiceofdestruction4003]

GREAT build. Ive been debating the BMC seat and am sold now!

[@KaplanCycles]

Good to see you guys at laconia! Keep up the good work!

[@onlyhereonce7290]

What a great looking motorcycle. And those wheels !! Excellent choice 🎉

[@3_AM]

Thank you

[@americanbiker7568]

Great video. Loving my 2015 highball.

Sick horse my man keep victory alive

[@3_AM]

Thank you, I don’t plan on parting with it !

[@ZebraActual]

Nice bike! And because of this video I'm going to be getting those Deans crash/highway bars.. thanks!

[@3_AM]

Thanks for watching, they're a great add on. Saved me from some damage once and double as highway pegs.

[@sludge3587]

The penske Rear Shock is a game changer, I have one on my Judge and I have the rear lifted about an inch and a half. I'm working with a guy in Ukraine to make me a set of the fork cap extensions like yours. Also if you want to bring the rear up a little more for cheap, you can put an older set of shock links from a pre 2008 kingpin or similar.

[@3_AM]

Yes I’ve heard great things about the Penske as well. As for the rear , that’s what’s on there an older kingpin shock the brought it up about an inch. Thanks for watching. Hopefully you’ll subscribe and check out some of our other victory content !

[@sludge3587]

@3 Amigos MotorSports not just the shock, but the shock links as well, aka "dogbones" the older bikes links are a little bit shorter in length than the new bikes.

[@gooby8401]

Would you recommend this seat by BMC? I’ve been looking all over for a high back seat like this for my Vegas. Looks like the back is a lot higher and offers more support than the other Corbin solos I’ve seen on steel frames

[@danielmulvihill9179]

I know this is an older video but I really want mid controls on my Victory.....kingpin, I know I know but like you if i want my legs out on highway, there is engine guard. who did your work on the putting the mids in and, where did you find them because there are none on ebay, witchdoctors or anyplace else ive looked. Thanks in advance if you get to this, I love your bike wish i could have waited to buy one before i got the kingpin.

[@3_AM]

@@danielmulvihill9179 thanks for watching. I did all the work on the bike. As for mid controls they are very hard to come by. They came stock on the Judges. I was able to get a set from a friend. Your best option would be to look on the victory Facebook forums, there may be someone willing to trade or sell.

[@danield831]

Great bike, nice video. I presently have a Triumph Bonneville T-120 Black and absolutely love it. I'm currently in the market for a Vic HB and would love to own one. My only reservations is that parts (including aftermarket pipes and torque tubes) are getting harder and harder to find. OEM parts for the Vic? Forget about it! Love the bike and the brand. Hated to see them go. Wish there was more availability for parts though. Any feedback you can give would be appreciated. Thanks man!

[@3_AM]

Thanks. The parts are still out there you just have to be resourceful. One of the best resources for new and used is the victory forums on Facebook.

[@TommAceAZ]

appreciate the video, have a 2013 highball. couldn't catch the name of motorcycle shop for crash bars. was it Deans? and if so did you price around or check other similar bars to see if they fit. thanks

[@3_AM]

Thanks . Dean speed customs. He’s hard to beat for victory parts . There’s not many people making them !

[@mikemo9708]

how is that seat held onto the bike ? does it have a tab under the tank? & does it attach underneath to rear fender? bike looks sick bruvvah

[@3_AM]

It uses the two bolts under the fender struts to hold it on. Thanks

[@AVES_XIII-DrewST3200]

Nice bike and video man. Where did you get the smoked turn signals at?

[@3_AM]

eBay, They’re actually the same fit as older Ducati monsters .

[@appletonlawncarelandscape2172]

Nice bike, where did you get those smoked turn signal covers

[@3_AM]

Thank you. I got them on eBay . Oddly enough older Ducati monster covers will fit.

[@appletonlawncarelandscape2172]

@@3_AM appreciate your help, would you happen to know what years would work.

[@3_AM]

@@appletonlawncarelandscape2172 I found the idea from the victory forums. I just looked up a post that said 2006-2010

[@wildlifekid1]

Where the victory judge controls a plug n play or did you have to modify them to fit. Thank you in advance

[@3_AM]

They bolt up the same with a different length shift linkage on the shift side. The brakes I did have to change the routing of the brake return line for the difference in length.

[@jonevans3834]

What did you do with the wire harnesses in the original light bucket I'm doing a build very similar to this thanks for the inspiration do you mind if I ask some more questions?

[@3_AM]

No problem, I extended all the factory harnesses. The hand controls are internally wired and the Speedo wiring comes up the center covered in loom. I had a friend who likes wiring. Instead of cutting and soldering lengths in at two ends he de pined all the factory plug ends , soldered 10” or so on the ends , re crimped every pin on each wire to then clicked them back into the plug ends. It was a process but it looks better than factory .

[@jonevans3834]

@@3_AM that's amazing I knew I had my work cut out for me I have carlini gangster apes on that I ran internal wires but I'm waiting for the double backs and fairing before I tackle the wire harnesses. Thank you for the help I don't suppose you have a link for the light you put in I pretty much look a list of all the stuff you did lol I hope you don't mind I'm painting it my self too with a slayer theme

[@3_AM]

@@jonevans3834 the headlight was a 5 3/4 Amazon special with an adapter. I believe wisamic was the brand . I’ve heard good things about the sunpie brand for another cheap option. They’re brighter than stock.

[@FLEXX_MOTO]

Just ordered the same handlebars for my 2015 Gunner. Any advice with installation?

[@3_AM]

Mounting is pretty straightforward, hairspray works will for grips , cover your tank with something while you’re working to prevent scratches. You may need extended cables for the gunner . It will be close ! Thanks for watching, don’t forgot to Subscribe 👍🏻

[@rpmfreak9150]

I have a 2008 kingpin I think the fuel pump went out, and the Air filter is so dirty. Can your filter keep it from starting up? I put an after market pump on it, and it still won't crank!!!!! I heard that those after market pumps weren't worth putting on but this is the first one that I have dealt with.

[@3_AM]

The fuel pump shouldn't prevent the bike from cranking. That sounds more like an electrical issue regarding the battery or starter.

[@rpmfreak9150]

@@3_AM the bike turns over just fine, but it's not getting any fuel. I could hear the fuel pump kicking in until it stopped working. The bike starts up when you are using ether but it doesn't stay running.

[@londonhogue5797]

Hey man where did you get those smoked out blinker Housings? I can’t find them anywhere

It’s a Rifle Fairing, and yes I switched from the triangle one to a oem round.
