Consumer Description

WHILE TRAVELING OUT OF STATE ON A TRIP, THE LOWER BLACK PLASTIC FRONT FENDER CAME LOOSE FROM THE FORK ATTACHMENTS AND JAMMED ITSELF INTO THE "MAW/LOWER JAW" OF MY FAIRING MAKING TURNING THE MOTORCYCLE IMPOSSIBLE AT LOW SPEEDS AND NOTICEABLY "DIFFERENT" AT HIGH SPEEDS. THE HOLE PROVIDED IN THE PLASTIC PART WORE THROUGH ALLOWING THE WIND TO CATCH THE LOWER FENDER AND LODGE IT INTO THE FAIRING. TALKING TO OTHER VICTORY VISION OWNERS HAS LED ME TO BELIEVE THAT THE BREAKAGE OF THE FRONT FENDER IS NOT A RARE OCCURRENCE AMONG THOSE OF US WHO PUT SUBSTANTIAL MILEAGE ON OUR MOTORCYCLES. SOME OF THE FENDERS MOUNTING HOLES WEAR THROUGH, LIKE MINE DID, AND SOME OF THE FENDERS ACTUALLY BREAK OFF AT THE MOUNTING POINTS.
