This thread is for pics of your Cross Roads.

Pretty lame picture from myIphone, but it's all I have right now. Just 250 miles so far with all the rain here in sSeattle. I can't bear to get her muddy. I have the Kewlmetal chrome luggage rack on order and will post more pics after installing it.

I like these much better than the Vison.:cool:

Just bought it two weeks ago. We had a warm spell (65F) so I took the windshield off. Totally stock...for now

My new X-Road

johncutt and sooner-
Is the windshield quick removable? I have not seen a CR in person and there isn't one around here. What kind of "semi-normal" mpgs are you guys getting with the w/s on and staying within the speed limits?
curious

I have not removed the windshield, but it has 4 bolts that are easily accessible. It's not a "quick release" system though. Regarding MPG, I started out with 33, then went to 35 and for the last 1000 miles have been getting 38/39 with half freeway half city riding. I just got back from a two day trip moostly freeway, two up, with luggage and got 40/41. I now have 2500 miles on the bike and absolutely love it....

I to have not removed the windshield, only four bolts though. I have been getting approx. 38 mpg consistently but I can't say that I always ride the speed limit. When I get her in 6th gear it's hard to hold her back.

Just got it about a week back. All stock at the moment, save for Arlen Ness Big Honker exhaust and the Vic passenger backrest. Custom luggage rack on order. Driver backrest (probably the Utopia), new grips, and a short Cee Bailey's windshield will all hopefully come this winter.

Hey bud, your cross roads is gorgeous, but I noticed a little wet stain underneath it. Just thought I'd point it out so you can check on it, make sure you don't have a leak.

Gorgeous bike, can't wait to get my Cross Roads.

You've got a keen eye, CrossRoads.

Those photos were taken right after a bath, so I think it was just some water dripping off. No stains on my garage floor.

From pick up to completion. Me with my Marines. Korea, Vietnam, Kuwait & Iraq at day of delivery. Me at day of delivery at Henderson Auto body in Tulsa, Oklahoma after the paint job and fender work.

Notice the front fender, and centerstand. The front fender was custom work by Henderson Auto Body in Tulsa, Oklahoma. The centerstand was bought from Witchdoctor Victory Parts, and installed by a friend and me.

Here are some more pictures of the Cross Country.

These are the last pictures of the bike. If you have any questions please drop me a line and I will be glad to explain anything about the process I went through. It was fun, and I learned a lot about the bike. Victory has made this Cross Country with its Customers in mind. The bike is very easy to disassemble and assemble. The centerstand. because of the rear suspension, it is NOT going to get the tires off the deck, but that is okay; it still leaves plenty of room for oil changes and cleaning and general maintenance.

okie57: No question, your bike looks awesome. Could you give us an idea of how much a pain job like yours is?

I beleive that is a paint scheme for 2011 model

Dear CrossRoads & Dave E,
1.) The cost for this Paint job & Front Fender work was $2,500. I was quoted as high as $4,000 for just the Paint job by itself by an individual who had the "name." I met these Gentlemen through a reference and coordinating with them, and their level of work was outstanding.
2.) 2011 Paint scheme. You are right in some aspect. I bought my Cross Country in mid July 2010. It was in the crate. I was actually on the way to Dallas, Texas to buy a White 2010 Vision. I stopped by to ensure they would service the bike even though I bought from somewhere else. They mentioned they had a 2011 Cross Country, and, well, hell, I bought it because I like the style. I told them to hold as I called Victory HQ to ask specifically what colors were coming forth in 2011. I talked with same Dame in the upper echelons and I asked her specifically about a photo I saw on the web showing the Cross Country in White-she denied it-Victory lied. End of the story, had I known for sure Victory was releasing the White Cross Country I would have bought it, and not paid to have mine repainted. By the way, it has been over 2 months and I still have not received any card, letter, etc. from Victory Riders Association. I called them twice to ask why and they said it is on the way. I am about to call HQ in Medina, Minnesota. how long did it take you guys?

Okie57,

I thought it was a 2011 paint scheme, as your paint job looks great. I bought my CR in early June and have not received anything from Victory either. Sounds like a common problem with most buyers :mad:

I had a 2008 BMW R1200RT and the BMW Customer Service was terrible, arrogant, nose-up and non-responsive, and that is one of the reasons I sold the BMW! I did not buy a HD because I heard good things about the Victory-and its true. Great bike! I think Victory better get its Customer Service head and ass wired, or it will lose ground fast. Mid-October I call HQ and question why they are so lax. Amazing, we buy expensive Motorcycles and they forget us after the sale. Makes you wonder what we do if we need them on the side of the road?:confused:

Not bad. I am asking because I lean towards getting a cross roads, and would love to have it in white. $4,000 sounds really expensive, even if a celebrity paints it for you :-) $2,500 sounds like a good value.

Your bike looks awesome - and the fact that it's not exactly like the factory white 2011 makes it unique.

Ride it safe and pile up a ton of miles on it!

i like the way the bags blend in with the rear fender.:)

for okie57-

What windshield is that? How tall are you, inseam, etc? Is that an OEM tall one from Victory?

Also- does the velcro keep the psgr foot place down or what? I don't seem to understand the reason for the velcro. Please enlighten the masses....

curious.

The shield is not OEM Victory. The shield is a Cee Bailey 19." I am 5' 11" with a 32" inseam. I like looking through the shield. I've had shields before that I looked over them, and ones that "cut" my eye level. I went this height from Cee Bailey because I still have about 1 1/2" of shield over my helmet. Velcro. It is the side without the "hooks." Reason, because the metal-on-metal starts to wear down the contact points when the passenger floorboard is folded down; you can see some photos of this worn look on other Cross Countrys and Cross Roads. I put the Velcro there to eliminate the worn look of the metal.

CrossRoads and 07PEARLJACKPOT, thanks for the comments. My white paint was tinted with green.

Here's the Cross Roads from this summer's journey 2010

Okie57

Beautiful color scheme, it really brightens up the XC and hopefully makes you more noticeable to the clueless airheads sharing the road with you.

Btw, Gotta love the classic Steve McQueen framed photo in your garage!

FutureVic, Thanks. Steve McQueen poster is one of my favorite Biker photos of all time, plus he was a Marine also.

I know that the Skull paint is not rare but finding one on the CR is, so I will post a few to keep the thread alive... We need more CR pictures!!! I love the look of the CC but I am a traditionalist and like to see my front rim and the road so post yours up too!

Could someone post a photo of a XC with the luggage rack from the rear. A closeup where the antenna and rack meet and 1 looking somewhat downward at the front of the rack where the rear passenger backrest meets.

I am in the process making a luggage rack. The photos would be of a tremendous help.

Thanks guys

It is 4 degrees here so I could not get a good photo of the bike. I just got it home yesterday from having it pinstriped. To much snow to move it outside!!!

I went with lime green. I know it may sound odd to some- but it is gorgeous to me

Dixie

Very Nice Dixe!

Would like to see beter pics, when you dig out! cheers

DC area got hit hard last night and thankfully we only got less than an inch here in Southern MD. I should be able to ride this weekend...need to take mine in for a warranty issue. thumb up

From pick up to completion. Me with my Marines. Korea, Vietnam, Kuwait & Iraq at day of delivery. Me at day of delivery at Henderson Auto body in Tulsa, Oklahoma after the paint job and fender work.

Whats the name of the dealer:confused:

I bought the XC at Roadhouse Motorsports in Tulsa, Oklahomathumb up

I purchased this replacement wedge set from Kewl Metal and I am really happy with the way that it dresses up the bike!

Solo riding, I get 40mpg city and 50mpg highway at moderate speeds - that would be around 60mph.

Re the windshield: It comes off in less than 2 minutes. Around 1 minute if you really rush it.

here is my X C iv'e added some chrome here and there. New handlebars, and such.

sure alot of CR with fairings in this "show off your Cross Roads" thread. :D

I get a lot of folks asking me what bike is that while they are admiring my Cross Roads. I didn't realize some of them were Cross Country owners. :ltr:

Hahaha :ltr:

You can't blame the outsiders saying that, especially since the forum members themselves can't post their bike in the right thread. Why do XC riders keep posting their pics in the Show off your Cross Roads thread? Maybe they think they've got the Cross Roads with the fairing! :ltr:

LOL. You didn't live up to the forum's expectations, so you've been deemed an outsider! :ltr: I'm kidding. Sorry, I thought you posted that with a serious tone, and didn't realize you were joking.

Where did you post the pic? In this thread? It's possible that Diamond was test driving his new eraser again, or maybe he moved your thread to another forum! :ltr:

Ok, I'm in a very jokenly mood today. :D

You have post #4 in this thread, and the reason the image is gone, is because you linked it from elsewhere (http://travisalicia.smugmug.com/Motorcycles/Victory/20100327-MG2786/822388816_c4mB6-M.jpg to be speicific, and that link changed). Instead, you have to attach it to your post. You can go back to your original post, and edit it. See this (http://www.victoryforums.com/showthread.php?t=1688) for instructions on how to attach images.

Boy it was gorgeous today!!! Low 70's in Feb :crzy: My wife and I jumped at it! We took off and to run some errands on the bike. Then my wife got the bug and said lets go for a long ride!

Shoot ask me twice! After 200 miles I got home and decided to give the Crossroads a bath then it was still so pretty I field stripped the bike and went nuts! Here are a few pics after claying, cutting, polish, and 3 coats of wax!

Looks fantastic!

Your bike looks better then show room condition.
Like you I get the most pleasure cleaning my bike. Its fun to tell people no I just didn't buy it I take pride in what I ride.
We just got 17 inches of new snow so I wouldn't be riding for a while and am looking forward to take the can of wax to the bike.
Have a great summer of ridding.thumb up

Ya I was brought up by a father that had a love affair with his cars. He brought me up with the same mentality that you take care of what you got even if it is not the best ride on the block!

He was a paint and body guy so if I was not working on his I was working on his friends or doing roofing for my Uncle (much rather work on the cars) I still do this for my friends on the side for extra chrome money! I can take any car or bike without clear coat failure and I can make it look like new!

I have a blacked out Super Crew F250 with the 8 foot bed. It takes me an hour just to wash the damn thing much less claying, cutting, polishing and sealing the beast .... boy does it look sharp when I am done!!! cheers

Thanks for the kind words - we are getting snow tonight! Our mini break in the weather is OVER!!!

Nice Ride Cheif!

How do you like the passing lamps? Are those factory? Been looking to get some, but I hadnt seen any actually on a Cross Roads yet.

As you might be able to tell I live out in the country. Deer are a HUGE issue and the passing lamps but a awesome amount of light off without being in High. They are stock and when i go to high they turn off, with them on with the low beam headlamp I see better then with high beam.

Did you ever get that picture, Diamond? If not I have a Vic rack, but the antenna is not Vic. I made my own bracket for the J&M CB antenna. Here's a look-see. Hope it's not too late and is helpful.

Here's a Cross Roads picture that's a bit different. I entered a four day three night event last summer, which ended at a big casino where we were to spend the last night and have the banquet. As we pulled up to the casino, we were directed to a side door and told to enter there with our bikes. A red carpet was laid before the door and it led us into the banquet room. All 80+ bikes in the event got to park inside, on carpeting, for the night. It was neat to see all those various bikes around us as we dined and had the end-of-the-run festivities. Note that the only two Victorys on the run were parked together.

No it's not too late. Yes this will help.
I have had several bike brought in for work so I have been busy trying to get caught up.
I am afraid it will get worse as the weather gets better. I have another coming in Saturday.
Thank you
dd

picked er up this morning!! leftover 2010

No it's not too late. Yes this will help.

I can take some pics that would more accurately show what you need, just ask. Of course, the rack and the antenna shouldn't interfere with each other, and for aesthetics, you want the angle of the antenna to be the same as the forks, windscreen and rear cylinder. Look at the profile of any bike (and cars too) and note the repetition of similar angles and lines. See my top photo and compare the fork angle to the antenna.

Please show me some photos of the rear. A direct rear view is what I need. I have put together some photos already but a direct rear view is what I need.
I'm not concerned about the antenna. My design accommodates the antenna. I want something totally different just like our bikes are.

DD, I'll try to get that done tomorrow,Monday at the latest. God willing. Good nite, friend.

Worm,

Nice.... I like 10's. My wife and I were looking at the 11 yesterday. She took one looked and asked me "what the hell did they do to the back seat!!!" She was not impressed with them cutting it down to work with the soft bags. Though the 11's do come with cruise control... I digress

Congrats and Welcome to the XR family!!!

Here's mine. Can't wait for the snow to melt and salt to be off the roads so I can take her out!

Pictures don't really show it but there is a LOT of metal flake in the Crimson paint. I really like it!

Beautiful photos bryman and taken at a nice low angle too. That shows off a bike a whole lot better. I got goose bumps looking at the background. Now for a steamy cup of hot chocolate.

thanks!! i really like it even though ive only gone 2 miles maybe. i bought it in a different state so title transfer and plates wont be done til later in the week. i agree with the change to the core model for '11 being not as customer friendly. i dont plan to do anything to it other than ride. the stock setup suits my needs perfect, oh yeah, mama got a backrest!!

OK BFP, lets talk about you blacking out the chrome? You send these parts off for powder coat?????

no sir! it is lots of coats of shadow black out chrome from dupli color.to do all of it took three kits. it didnt come out perfect but its cause i was spraying it in a 57* garage this winter. says for best results it needs to be 70 or above, and the things that i did do in the 70's did come out better. i do like it though.

worm5932 and bfp, you're shift keys are broken...no capitol letters. Gotta get your 'puters fixed. =)

I lived in Los Angeles in the early 60s to go to school there after getting out of the Navy. Could only stand 3 years of coo coo politics and soaring taxes and left. I presently do business in CA and just got a letter from the Board of Equalization (the revenuers) that tells of new sales tax rates in a variety of cities. Many are now at 10.25%. Pretty shocking to one from a no sales tax state. :soapbox:

10.25 makes our Riverside co. 8.25 sound really good!

Just picked it up on 04/29/2011.

Just picked it up last Saturday. Hated to leave my 2006 Stratoliner S behind, but it didn't take many miles to know that I made a good trade.

New to the forums, new to Victory, happy as can be. Here are my pics:

I traded in my 2003 Suzuki Volusia (800cc) that I bought new. Did a lot of research and got exactly the motorcycle I wanted. Glad to be part of the Victory family!

I bought this 4 weeks ago, I just turned 1,800 miles I love this bike, I traded in a 2009 street glide for it,only changes I have made I installed a K&N air filter, llyods fuel controler and RPW exzhust now it sound like a motorcycle. I get more looks and questions then I ever did with my harley, I no longer have body pain when I get off after a long run.

Did you ever get that picture, Diamond? If not I have a Vic rack, but the antenna is not Vic. I made my own bracket for the J&M CB antenna. Here's a look-see. Hope it's not too late and is helpful.

RICZ what bracket did you use to mount the CB to the handlebar? I have one from J&M but in using it the mirror doesn't tighten very well...

Been riding a Victory for about 2 months now. Have loved every mile so far. Just breakin her in at 5000 miles now. cheers

The last one is the day i brought her home.

I finally fixed my profile so I can post now. Here is my 2010 XR I picked up this past April

Just a shot from my ride yesterday.

Just got a 2011 XR last week. Love her. getting ready to do my first service on her.

I've had my XR for the last year and couldn't decide on how to personalize it. I like some airbrush work but most folks I talked to wanted to do flames or skulls. I'm not a flame or skull kind of guy. I looked a few pinstripe folks but some of their stuff wasn't what I was looking for.

Today I went to a local car show to see a couple of friend's hot rods. One buddy was getting some custom paint touch up work done by a reputable local striper. I asked him to look at my XR and what would he do to highlight the body lines. He told me what he would do and shot me an unbeatable price. Needless to say I had my bike striped on the spot!

Here's the results.

That pin striping looks slick. Now you just need to get the rims in matching color! ;)

I became the owner of a new 2011 Victory Cross Roads just two days ago, can't tell you how excited I am to be a Victory owner, I tried to balance out all of the decisions when it came to choosing it, and I think I definitely made the right choice for me. I really wanted something more modern looking, and with some more Oomph from the throttle vs. the HD Road King.

Been riding a Victory for about 2 months now. Have loved every mile so far. Just breakin her in at 5000 miles now. cheers

Awesome pics. I didn't have the guts to grind on my boards when I was at the Dragon a few weeks ago. ;)

Nice bike Saddlebag.

Last year when I got my Jackpot the only XRs and XCs they had were a black ones and the last bike I wanted was a black one. The Jackpot was sitting there on consignment with the windshield, passenger tour seat, after market bags, and extreme flame paint, it looks hot.
I do regret the decision as I do like the XR and XC, at the time the red XR really appealed to me but none left and was told by the salesman they would be none available until next year. I refused to have a black bike. My wife bought me the Jackpot for our anniversary gift instead of a XR.

This pic is from Monday, after a 1400 mile ride with my Dad. I took the time to detail it out, and de-badge it. I got this 2010 CR as a leftover, and in the deal I got $1,000 worth of accessories with a good price. The bike also has the stage 1 pipes on it, as the dealer was trying to get it to sell. I got a great deal, and am one happy camper. I now have 1800 miles on it in the first week of ownership. Gawd, the oil changes sure do come quick!-----Helipro

This is my first post as a CR owner.Just picked her up Thursday afternoon. I got her with the 5 year warranty at no cost. What a joy to ride! Smooth, fast when I want it, and great on the crappy highways here ! Handles like a dream, especially for the size of her. Simply amazing !!!

From my first nice long ride. Rt 302 in Northern NH, Columbus day weekend. Mt. Washington in the distance

Sorry for the late reply, but yeah, West Virginia was increible. The roads were built for a Victory.

I picked up a 2011 Cross Roads today and now my cheeks hurt. LOL

I now have permagrin. Lol

I'll post up some pics later today.

Do you mind sharing how much it cost to get some of those parts powdercoated? I want to black out some of the parts on my bike to give it a different look.

I'll post some better pics in the day light.

My 2010 Crossroads - Peggy's Cove, Nova Scotia, Canada

What backrest and rack do you have on your bike?

Carl

Victory's. I had them put on when I bought the bike in 2010. They were expensive, but are well made and large and ,especially the rackthumb up. They are also quick release. I have no complaints about either.

Sorry King, it's unclear to what you are referring. That bike is bone stock save the windscreen and a Stage 1 mod. The stock bags on the XR are black leather(like).

Picked her up today. That's my red Star 950 that I traded in, she looks so tiny!

A. You in the wrong thread dude. You want the show off your cross country thread.
And B. I know, right?I traded my 950 for the XC and it is like moving to a grown up bike from a scooter.

picture did not work.Sorry.

Nice! What's next? Ape hangers? I hear that's the hot new look!

Bujee1. No I do not think so. I had ordered this bike back in Oct set up with the gloss black engine guards and saddle bag guards,not flat black like Victorys latest ape hanger Ball bike(flat black XR with apes).Ha,ha. Also the black handlebars are actually a little shorter by 1/2" or 1" compared to stock,just the opposite of ape hangers. No apes for this old guy:cool:. Last bike I blacked out a few things on it,not a big chrome fan,they come stock with more than enough chrome for me.Oh, the black mirrors were to good of a deal to pass up,free from a friend. They are Triumph Tiger mirrors. The stock left hand mirror use to be kind of a tight fit with winter gloves on between the grip and the mirror. I can also see behind me better with these mirrors compared to the smaller stock ones.

Dude, I just got a look at your scraped board. I also got a look at the non-existent chicken strip on your back tire. That's a 180 just like what's on your Beemer. The bike runs out of tread if you lean it any further, I don't care what brand of motorcycle it's hauling around, sheesh!

Lance,
Slow it down before you shoot the bike out from under yourself midcorner! By the way you aren't the only person that has caused this much damage to the floorboards. The thread below has also got some pretty graphic pictures:

You may want to seriously consider getting the police floorboards. These are much thick and will take a little lean from you but they'll last longer and let you know if you are leaning too far earlier.

Lance, lean the damned thing as far over as you'd like. You obviously have some riding skills! thumb up

That is about normal for me as well. This is pretty easy when you switch back and forth from a naked bike or a sport bike, either way it still makes my wife hit me when I do it with her on the back :ltr:

Few changes since Sept purchase. Now 4150 miles.

Finally uploaded a picture of my Cross Roads Classic LE, finally got a bike that I don't need to add anything to it. I lkie that way it looks stock!!!

I feel the same way about my standard Cross Roads with the 'leather' bags, bee-u-ti-full. Although I just might replace the plastic cheese wedges with something from kewl metal...

I like it too. Do the extra lights improve illumination over your experience with the High Ball?

Also, could you be a pal and tell me the brand/model of your rear tire? The website indicates that Vic mixed a bias ply front with a radial rear, but the sidewall on your rear tire looks bigger than the radial sidewalls on the plain XR.

Several of us were contemplating that a few weeks back.
