joeschmoe · 10-08-2009, 08:26 AM

Well, I got with KevinX and he did his magic to my Vision. He installed Llyodz cams, VFC fuel controller, and intake plate.

Here is what it got me
Stock 82-83 HP and 97-98 ft-lbs torque...

Now 108.7 HP and 112.9 ft-lbs torque...

Impressive numbers. Glad you have the power..please go fast enough to stay ahead of me so that I dont have to see that thing

Sweet!!
While I'm still not excited by the Visions styling the more I learn about them the more I like them.

My personal experience has been that Victorys don't need to be turned up.

They stay ahead of most Harleys just fine while still showroom stock.

Agreed, I did this upgrade one for the power...secondly the backfiring of the Stage 1 Level 1 was driving me insane... Now the backfiring is all gone!! Plus it snaps your head back when you get on the throttle!!
With the price of the upgrade and the improved gas mileage, this will pay for itself in no time flat...

You improved gas mileage over stock? Are they too rich from the factory? I would think the opposite.

Actually it is due to the VFC not "reporting" to the ECM the EXTRA fuel it is sending to the injectors so the ECM (LCD display) is indicating you get better gas mileage...if you do the math (miles/gallons used) it si the SAME MPG, but hey looking at the LCD display sure is nice to see 45 MPG or 46 MPG...I usually get right at 39 MPG in town and 41 or 42 on the highway..

Hope this made sense...

What exhaust are you running?

Hmmmm....going from 39mpg to 46mpg at $2.50 a gallon means you save right at 1¢ a mile. How much was that upgrade?

Good numbers. It must be a blast to ride. Odd how polarizing the Vision is. Love it or hate it as revealed by the responses you are getting. But then that is what makes America great. You get to choose.

VicXC · 10-10-2009, 09:32 AM

I have seen a friend ride his vision in a roll on wheelie with that set up...If power is what you were looking for then I think that you will be very happy.

The upgrade co$t less than bumping up to a CVO 110" with overheated jugs and blown rear head gaskets. (We won't include the legal fees.)

Maybe Victory handlebars will fit a Harley. This is crazy. Are these recalls actually for real, or did The Onion make this stuff up??

$30K is just AVERAGE PRICE...Could you imagine paying $34 to $40K for one of these have the oil leaking out while riding!!

No the Onion made it all up!! You would think after over 100 years of making motorcycles they would finally get it right!!
