Andre G. Wachenheimer: Touring Cruiser Rider Says ‘Darn You Victory Vision Engineers!’
Folks, I can't love my '05 Victory Touring Cruiser more. Great dealership owner and crew at Arizona Victory in Tucson. They are truly genuine people who take care of me; we are like family. Isn't that the key and big part in the joy and psyche of our riders' community and culture? Glad to have this in my/our life, for sure.

Two things I would appreciate help to find:

1. I look everywhere on the internet for an excellent alternative single rider seating option (not being a two-up rider or caring to keep that existing "look" for my bike). Where can I find it? Is adapting that (if any) seating resourced product and conversion difficult or even possible? Recommendations?

And:

2. First a commentary: In my best world on Earth, I'd truly love and want to buy the new Victory Vision. My dealer really knows how to "push all my buttons." But gee: friends, colleagues and passer-bys absolutely croon with respect, envy and appreciation over my bike. I must have a classic. Plus, I just about got one of three years paid for, so it is hard to justify losing the opportunity costs of disposable income for three more additional years, on top of what remains, to finance a Victory Vision.

Darn you, Victory engineers, for making the Victory Vision look so good… and to have all those technological and other creature advantages.

The only way I can really top off my Touring Cruiser to fit my design wants and to enjoy riding my "classic" for more great years ahead is to find different fairing. Hobb Industries makes and distributes such for H-D and other metric bikes. Is there any way to find such a fairing with the styling and additional features you can apply to a Touring Cruiser, particularly one that accommodates the Victory Touring Cruiser joint headlight and communication housing?

I'd really appreciate knowing where to go for product help in acquiring these products, please.

Thank you.
