When life gives you oranges........ build.

@SQTierHog Год назад

Awesome comment! Hope you get thousands and thousands of thumbs up for that one.

@shortyrock804 Год назад

Glad your brother was not hurt and your hobby\passion is able to help your family is great!!

@MrEhf111 Год назад

It hurts my soul to see that beautiful piece of art like that.

@vincenttarquini4235 Год назад

Brandon, it won't be easy but it is doable. I own a 2010 Vision Tour and have found a number of companies that are devoted to keeping the Victory lines up and running. The parts are out there and accessible. Meanwhile, I will keep your efforts in prayer. I look forward to watching your progress in the future. I am also glad that your brother is OK. Motorcycle's are replaceable, loved family members are not.

@johnkevinsmith3718 Год назад

Good to hear your brother is well

@sixchuterhatesgoogle3824 Год назад

@BrandonBicasso I can and want to help. I have others in my Victory owners group that want to help too. How do I contact you directly? I emailed you on the website attached to this video.

A heck of a challenge before you Brandon.And yes, obtaining body moldings will likely be challenging..Good luck!

@BrandonBicasso Год назад

Preciate that! 🙌🏾

@IMPORT3DKILL3R Год назад

The saddlebags are fairly easy and cheap compared to some parts. The fairing is the problem. Been trying to find one for my buddy but they’re pricey

@markbeauchamp2053 Год назад

Time for a bobber build.

@lwsrider Год назад

Happy to know that your brother was not hurt. I have to admire your ability to take a pile of parts and turn it into a mechanical work of art! You should be proud! So will your brother when you're finished! Question. What's with the rubber duck?

@BrandonBicasso Год назад

That’s Bartholomew. The garage mascot and good luck charm. 😅

@jasonshortphd Год назад

IF that bar had not snapped where it did, you would probably have a twisted frame. That is a good failure. It would have had some major force on that point otherwise. Nice job taking it methodically. I think the bike either spun around or the tow truck pulled it backwards to get the mud in the exhaust pipe.

@james_chatman Год назад

I agree. If the bar was any more rigid the motor and frame would have taken damage and that's a real no bueno.

@philhaney6191 3 месяца назад

Scott Burris is the man to talk to when it comes to victory nowadays, he took over the business for Jason Camp

@lilg2040 Год назад

Glad your bro is ok. From the sound of the start up you definitely need to change out the starter. I just changed mine out it was making that same noise. I have some factory parts from my 2014 vic cross country if your interested. Original pipes, both left and right saddlebag lids, original seat, aftermarket 5.25 infinity kappa speakers for the front, and a couple of other parts in my garage.

@dionrau5580 Год назад

I would try getting as much parts as can from motorcycle junkyards/recyclers/salvage yards, you might find nearly All you need, also a time to consider some Customizations.... Good luck for your Bro, he's got you for a Bro.....

@raynavarra Год назад

Great stuff as always. One suggestion from an old guy, old school mechanic. Invest in milwaukee cordless tools. I would recommend the 3/8 impact and the ratchet. Both pack plenty of power for cordless and they will 100% cut your tear down times by half. Fun build to watch.

@s.crambling3795 Год назад

They are. As Indian. The Indian name and more traditional (Harley looking) bikes sold better. People talk crap about traditional American cruisers and tourers. But that’s what people buy.

@jamesjohnson2755 Год назад

i have 2 Victory Motorcycles. 2015 Cross Country Tour and a 2017 Magnum X-1. I have my stock exhaust and floor board pads.

@Kasperblk 10 месяцев назад

I was literally just putting my friend Todd’s dad’s bike (Magnum X1) back together. He passed away with the front fairing off. I had to essentially reverse engineer it to get it back together. I somehow missed this video which would have been real helpful. I did exactly the same with the battery, with a jump pack. But the battery is KO.

@TheChromeRonin Год назад

Bob it!!!

@fonziebulldog5786 Год назад

Looked like my (earlier) wrecked Hayabusa when a bad car driver did a left turn in front of me in low speed. I was lucky that day and the bike only needed new fairings and some other smaller stuff to get back on the road. Take care. 👍

@BrandonBicasso Год назад

Glad you’re still here fr!

@2bad1 Год назад

Such a sharp bike. I just totaled my roadmaster done been all over the country had stickers for everywhere that bike has been hate it’s done. But at least I’m still here gonna get another one and start over it’ll be fun. Was laying in the hospital buying parts for my old softail to ride till I find my next bike. Estimate on that bike is more than I paid for it. But this one yeah it needs fixed I love the color and was my dream bike till Polaris done away with it.

@jamesjohnson2755 Год назад

I also have the speaker tubes for the front speakers.

@tomlawson5655 8 месяцев назад

As a '16 Magnum owner I'm looking forward to watching this build. I'd like to see it back to original but if you start with a frame and engine the options are endless. Good luck. / p.s. I have a couple of windshields your welcome to.

@vtwinlife4940 Год назад

Aftermarket headers and mufflers. Use some classic style Indian saddle bags. Go in through fuel pump opening and see if you can push out most of the dent. And hit E Bay

@redroad53 Год назад

Blessings your brothers fine, safe and healthy. As you know I'm no expert and cannot offer any mechanical advice. I do offer prayer, so you have the strength. I love to watch the progress.

@BrandonBicasso Год назад

Appreciative!

@BikesBeardsAndBrews Год назад

I'll be curious to see how easy it is to track down parts for this and at what cost. These are one of the few Batwings I actually dig. Glad your brother is okay

@BrandonBicasso Год назад

We will. It'll be even better when it's rebuilt.

@Sharky_On_The_Road Год назад

Glad he`s ok. I`m sure you can fix it. You can always turn it into a naked bobber, or a cafe racer if some body parts are hard to find.

@BrandonBicasso Год назад

Not his style but you’re right.

@Sharky_On_The_Road Год назад

@@BrandonBicasso I can see his point on not his style also. Bobbers and Cafe racers are nice but not the best for longer rides. Great videos keep it up. You will turn it into an amazing bike.

@normangraber1047 Год назад

Almost all Cross bike parts through most of the years will interchange. I use Pinwall and Bikestrippers out of FL. a lot.

@Brandon Bicasso Good to know James is ok. Heart breaking! One of my favorites and on my dream list - Habanero Inferno Orange Victory Magnum. Did you get a line on a Victory Magnum shop/service manual. If not, I found a couple options, LMK.

@harryhowell5644 3 месяца назад

Bike looks totaled man. Too bad. Glad your brother is ok. It's why I always carry full coverage insurance on my bikes. It is totally worth it. Good luck rebuilding it. Guess the frame isn't bent or neck damage 😮

@BrandonBicasso 3 месяца назад

Is what it is. No frame damage tho.

@tomedwards159 Год назад

Polaris has a cross ref list, so you input part number and it will tell you what other bikes share that same part.

I think you should try to install one of those Baja Design Lp6 headlights on this beast. I’m looking everywhere to see if anyone has done it on a victory.

@pmarkpmark Год назад

I don't know how you keep track of all the pieces, positions, and bolts. But I'm sure having a video recording is helpful

@BrandonBicasso Год назад

It’s a great question. I write what the bolts go to on painter’s tape and wrap the bolts in that tape. They’re all in a separate screw bucket for each bike. I take pictures of the wire routing.

@BrandonBicasso Год назад

I will check them out. I appreciate you for the tip.

@justinwhite3851 9 месяцев назад

Victory only isn’t a salvage dealer they are an aftermarket parts dealer located in TN. There were only three doing salvage parts and one just passed recently in an motorcycle accident. Mill City Motorcycles and Vicguy are only ones. I think Scott Burris took over Jason Camps salvage business after his passing.
