About my Kingpin Tour

It is a one off 2003 victory deluxe cruiser,not a kingpin but tha was all that was in the choices.This baby is my pride and joy. I wanted something different,so i chose the victory,harleys are easy to do because the ease of finding parts,not this victory,they dont make them anymore.

First i took a set of 83 police bags and add a solid 8 inches to them,not extensions and i had to refabricate the victory brackets to hold the harley bags.to get the lowered look i had beach customs of myrtle beach,add 8.5 in. to my rear fender,looked cool so instead of running the exhaust thru the bags they made a custom exhaust that followed the contour of the bags and went underneath,standing i have 4 inches clearence leaning about 2.then i had BC take my factory seat and cover it in osterige to match the paint scheme.I took a set of harley beach bars redrilled the recieving port with a jig and added 6.5 in pullback risers to give it the retro look,took the factory emblems off and i found an emblem, a 1961 panhead emblem my favorite harley emblem and i redid it to say victory cylces,had to fit to the take it was a bear to do. Next i had the front end the calipers and the rotors chromed,and last but not least,i found a fairing that almost worked from wide open custom plastics,and with there help,i altered there bracket to recieve my legs and the rest is history,10 windsheild is great.but then i had to go with the bling and i got a stero upgrade from hoppe industries ,by the way over look the blue tape i had to silicon on the chrome bezel. i spent a lot of time and money on this project so please tell me what u thank,and great thanks to terry,drew,dan and jerry at beach customs and dustin at kings collision repair for the paint and fiberglass work.

Thanks for the comments on my bike.  I see we have similar taste.  My plan is to get the same Harley fuel tank badge and have it done in blue and white (that's my favorite badge as well, extremely nostalgic).  I also had fishtails on my bike, but they were dragging and I cracked them so I had to do away with them in June, but I'm going back to the fishtails this winter.  My plan is to get stretched hard bags that flows with my rear fender with fishtail pipes coming out of them. Possibly pipes that come out the side of the bags.  I wanted the option of removing the bags if I wanted to, but I'm leaning toward keeping the bags on, especially if the pipes are going through them.  Just trying to keep it original, clean and nostalgic..
