Hey there all,
About 2 weeks ago I purchesed my first Victory... a XC 8-Ball! I love the bike... I have already put about 700 miles on it.
Today, I started to pack up (believe it or not... I hadn't really checked out the bags that much up to now). I was taken back when I realized that in order to shut the bag fully, I had to sort of lift up on the lid, and sort of fold it over to get it to latch. If I just swung the lid shut, it would close sort of cock-eyed, and not latch.
I was out and about and stopped at a Victory dealership to have the mechanics/warranty folks take a look at it.
I big guy with a Harley shirt on came out to take a look at it (honestly... who the hell works at a Victory dealership/shop and wear's a Harley shirt to work?). He looked it over, went and got a list of bulletins that had to do with the XC, and came to the conclusion that it was just the nature of the beast. Another guy that was helping us said that it was common.
I just wanted to run it by the folks on this forum to see if others have had this experience. The left side seemed to do it more than the right side (although they both seem to do it to some degree).
Am I just being anal?
FWIW... the Harley guy said that he had bought an Ultra Classic earlier this year, and that after a few months he started noticing some things on the bike that seemed a little 'cheesy'.
Like me, he was taken back by it...
