Buying 08 Victory Vegas Jackpot in 2024.My first Victory, is this smart to do?  

thanks

Thank you

Thanks so much and Thanks for watching Vassmotorsports, so obviously you've owned Victory? What bike and did it treat you well?

Thanks so much and Thanks for watching Vassmotorsports, hope you check out some of my other videos. I didn't realize they made same power. Especially the later 16 and 17 thought they made the most , but it's not a sport bike anyways and I'd never say it's fast after bikes I've rode all my life , but is a good running bike for a cruiser , and I do like how 10 and up has the better speedo with tach and other features in it , but im in love with this bike and I feel I got an amazing deal , going to finish polishing my wheels so I can go for a ride lol,

Thank you

Thank you and Thanks for watching Vassmotorsports

thanks. yes i love mine too. but i also have my Harley Fatboy that i love also. both bikes have their good points , thanks for watching Vassmotorsports and hope ya check out some of my other videos. I have a link to another one my friend has an 04 Arlen Ness Vegas and thats what got me looking at the Victory, and one is my Fatboy i just got running recently as it was destroyed in Hurricane Ian flood under water 5 days straight before the water receded and i could get to it , if get some free time check them out ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-q21O8WtlCok.htmlsi=uK8GERW6_RQpduT_.

Thanks for the great feedback and thanks for watching Vassmotorsports, hope ya check out some of my other videos

Oh the green are sweet. Is it the 07 Ness or 09 with scallop or 10 up tribal ? And thank you, I'm loving mine so much and I'll definitely have more videos coming out soon , hope ya check out some of my channel as im always doing something different lol

i definitely love mine. fun ride for the money ,what year do you have? , thanks for watching Vassmotorsports and hope ya check out some of my other videos sometime

@@Vassmotorsports I had 07 white with the extreme graphics. Bumped up the rear to a 260. Added the Lloydz airbox and fuel controller.

@@poppysadventures2020 yes those are beautiful bikes , didn't realize ya sold it tho

@@Vassmotorsports basically sold both my Vics in 2014 and made the jump to Indian. Since then I have owned five Indians with the Challenger 2020 being the best bike I have ever owned. Might be adding another one this weekend.

@@poppysadventures2020 oh nice. i dont know much about those

thank you. i think she is a beautiful bike and have been enjoying it. even tho i got my Harley Fatboy running right after getting this , I love them both tho haha. thanks for watching Vassmotorsports and hope ya check out some of my other videos sometime. heres one of both bikes recently as a quick ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-uA0wfHKj61g.htmlsi=_ZNpp2byCxmhALzs comparison

Thanks for watching Vassmotorsports and thanks for the feedback, did you have any issues? Curious why you said crack the throttle? Mine is 08 and fuel injection with no choke switch, it seems to start easily, although some times I catch myself cracking the throttle when starting just because I've been riding bikes all my life since 7 yrs old with dirt bikes and never owned anything fuel injected, hope ya check out some of my other videos

yeah, that's the problem. I have a vegas jackpot and I love the bike, but the parts are getting expensive now. A while back I had to replace the throttle body boot and it was 45$. I just had to replace another one on the same bike and the cheapest I could find was 140$. Awesome bikes though

@@realsteel7631 wow thats crazy. and seems like such an issue on them. wondering how long mine will last especially being an 08

Thanks lol and thanks for watching Vassmotorsports

Thank you and Thanks for watching, I'm also a Harley guy and when I get my Fatboy running again I'll do a good review between them. Goods and bad

Injave an 01 softail deuce, but, I've always liked how Victory looks. They had a real strong run in popularity in early 00s. There's 2 Victorys running around in my town. Stay safe and enjoy

@jkmkj73 thanks, took her for short run to try out and couple things gonna take some getting used to ,got her legal also. So I can take her out today, you stay safe out there too

Victory didn't exactly go out of business. It became Indian. Same company, same factory, and, I would assume, a lot of the same engine parts.

There are a couple people who still work on them ,but I never take anything, anywhere to have worked on. I always do my own repairs ,only thing wouldbei dont have a scan tool for this bike ,, I was and still am hesitant about being able to get parts if I need them , (not like a Harley with endless parts listed online) although I do see some parts ,and some used as bikes are wrecked or such, but they are very expensive and I don't like that , I'll just hope for the best while I own her and treat her right , thanks for watching Vassmotorsports and hope ya check out some of my other videos

thanks im glad you like the bike. i feel it waz a great deal i would have been an idiot not to buy it because i was actually wanting one for couple months now and it got me in the kick to put my Harley back on the road , i had to fix her after she was under water 5 days in Hurricane Ian, and was sitting in my shop last 1.5 yr and finally took a week or 2 and fixed it , thats another video haha. what truck has air in line ? thanks for watching Vassmotorsports and hope ya check out some of my other videos

@@Vassmotorsports The truck that intermittently overheats. A trapped pocket of air in the coolant can do that. I'll be looking for you HD repair video. Corrosion in the electrical system for the coming years is what to watch out for with that one. Hopefully it wasn't salt water.

@@SW-Video 🤣 im still not sure of what truck your refering to as i luckily dont have a truck that temp runs up on lol. i drove my little truck around 18 hrs that day no issues and my dually definitely hasn't except when i bought it used few years back knowing it needed headgaskets cause LLY Duramax so i got her dirt cheap and did gaskets /studs, WP and few other things at that time. and thankfully it was not saltwater as we were 60 miles or so from the coast but the Peace River flooded our park down Florida and i replaced anything that seamed like an issue like the burnt ignition switch and lead ,main battery wire,starter, circuit breaker and so on. rest looked nice and clean on all connections and terminals, this is one video i believe when i got to go get the bike after the storm and brouht home ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-WZmBO2FTj18.html. and this is when i finally got around to fixing her couple weeks ago ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-aEgh-4ck6IQ.html. And this is my friends Ness Vegas that i rode and decided i wanted to try a Victory but i fell in love with the Jackpot especially rear tire and looks so thats where that all came from haha ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-q21O8WtlCok.html

​@@Vassmotorsports The blue Ram at the 9:24 minute mark. So glad your beautiful Fatboy was salvageable. I rode and built HD's for 33 years before switching to Victory. I recently found a good deal on an 06 Ness JP. Should pick it up soon. I think it sat for many years though so I may go through some of the same things you did with your HD. I even thought about getting a Honda Fury. One of the best factory made choppers. The only downside is it's a 5 speed.

@@SW-Video oh man sorry i forgot my son picked up that dodge. it was just the lower shroud piece missing from and not letting fan pull enough air and i put a new fan clutch for him. never did actually overheat but he wound up selling her anyways to make a few bucks as he got it so cheap. heck it didn't overheat when the guy first drove it all the way to meet my son and let him test drive and he drove home. but it was full too when i checked it and i have a funnel that burps the system but she was full. thanks again for the feedback and watching any videos

i actually have a few but was just going up the street real quick lol. i scored a Victory helmet on marketplace was still new in the box left over someone had with bag and all i scored for $40 cause the guy had a Harley and said he didn't know anyone that owned a Victory, thanks for the comment and thanks for watching Vassmotorsports and hope ya check out some of my other videos ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-uA0wfHKj61g.htmlsi=PubMstDS2kCeumXY

Wow that was a cheap buy. I feel like 4k was good especially for the condition this one is in and the market right now , so I figured if I don't like it I shouldn't get hurt on the deal ( I don't like loosing $ ) and one issue with the bike could change that real quick. Did you have any issues with it? And thanks for watching Vassmotorsports

@@Vassmotorsports The only issues I had were all caused by someone else trying to "fix it", a PC tuner that was badly mapped, and airbox mod that made it run lean at idle, MAF sensor bypassed, enrichener lever missing, poor wiring and bad grounds. Once I returned everything to factory (found out how hard it is to get parts) It became a monster, ran really well and was quite fast for a cruiser. The bike just didn't fit me, the slow steering is horrid and not really for city riding, a real bear to manage in traffic and not much fun in the canyons. Get her out on the highway and she is in her element but really just a one trick pony with factory custom look. My current fav bike is an 07 ZX14R and I am selling my 2 Harleys to fund a Z900RS. My "cruiser" is an 06 Yamaha Roadliner Midnight and I have my Road Couch, A 97 Kawi Voyager 1200- just give you a sense of my taste, I am a Kawi Fan. I enjoy your vids, keep makin em :)

@Roaddog420 yeah this is completely stock engine wise and I don't plan on touching that. And was leary about buying one because I know parts are hard to find and so damn expensive. And I do not like being (upside-down) in anything I own , so not sure what I'm doing yet , one little miss hap and I could be to deep , and I grew up riding crotch rockets all my life until I turned 43 or so and decided to try a cruiser to see if it was comfortable , then got my first Harley on my 45th ,( always hated them,haha,until I got that one) so I wouldn't consider any cruiser at all fast or agile like some people think they are ,lol. So I do understand about it being heavy and maybe awkward in turns , but im using it for what she is ,a cruiser and that's what got my attention was the custom look but all factory, my friend has a 04 Vegas ,Ness edition and its nice. I just don't like the skinny back tire ,same as my Fatboy, stupidest thing Harley could do on such a sweet bike is such a skinny rear. But she drives good that way ,just hate the look

@@Vassmotorsports I think it has a factory stage one kit on it. The chrome scoops on the air filter panel show that. Do the pipes say "Victory Performance" on them? Cobra made them for Victory.

@timothydubois5834 no and I was looking for that because I've seen them on other bikes in adds I was looking at, they are not obnoxious like baffles are out ,but it will pop sometime when slowing down with motor instead of just pulling in clutch and using brakes only. So I'm not sure if tuned for pipes or not , don't see name anywhere on them , figured chrome pieces were just added for looks on breather , not sure how I'd know. But Def no added boxes under seat unless was flash tuned

That is an amazing offer and if I can ever make the time I'll have to come visit, I've been wondering what happened to ya as I haven't heard anything from ya lately. Hope all is good and ya just been busy lol

thank you and i hope so. Ive been enjoying it and i also have my 2000 Fatboy running right after i got this Victory, it was flooded in Hurricane Ian and under water 5 days straight, but i love restoring things , thanks for watching Vassmotorsports and hope ya check out some of my other videos sometime, heres a couple more of the bikes if ya wanna check them out. #1 going to get my Harley after the storm ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-WZmBO2FTj18.htmlsi=LC7Q0oKHiCVt_VQu. #2. getting Harley finished after buying my Vic ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-aEgh-4ck6IQ.htmlsi=LHmAShWBe3NxPgNy. #3 my friends Vegas ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-q21O8WtlCok.htmlsi=kddQVLbUM7eUKdJU. #4. little comparison of my Vic and Fatboy side by side ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-uA0wfHKj61g.htmlsi=10qMUlNANGVtd9Ob
