Not really, but maybe about the guy who designed them. The OEM design is flawed. You cannot put an 8MM hole for a hinge attaching point 1/32 of an inch from the edge of plexiglass. It's gonna break, period.

And for guys looking for hinges to use our lowers, google Surdyke Victory Polaris. THey always offer 20% off on OEM parts plus most of the time there's also a free shipping promo.

As the hinges are the only thing in the package besides the template that's worth anything (plexi is cheap), they'll cost you $200 delivered to your door. THat's why I don't do the hinges. By the time you pay for all the molds, fabrication, and welding, I'd have to sell them in that range anyway.

Kuryakyn makes a lot of parts for Victory, and especially the add-ons for Visions. This is where a lot of Vic chrome get's a bad rap, because it's actually the cheap Kuryakyn chinese metal and chrome.

As an example, I offer chroming services and do the deflector mounts for customers. There's a reason they don't come chromed and are only available in black powder coat. The powder coat is thick and hides all the imperfections in the horrible castings. You wouldn't believe what we've got to go through to get a decent chrome finish on them after stripping off the powder coat. They are so rough and porous that even after sanding the crap out of them we've got to go back and forth from copper plating to polishing over and over to get all the pits filled in before going to the nickel and chromium plating, and even then sometimes there are a few that are just too bad to get rid of.

#57 - 2010-06-17 12:44 PM Will, can you color match your lowers for an Anniversary Vision?

Hey there Rick, thanks for your interest.

We do have something we conjured up when first trying to match the Midnight Cherry. It was too red for the Cherry match, but the first thing it made me think of was Antares Red metallic. Here's a couple of pics of the sample piece we shot. If you find this acceptable the answer would be yes.

#57 - 2010-06-17 4:22 PM I have never been interested in the lowers but the Vic truck just came through and the driver gave me a set of the hardware. Now I may have to really think about getting a set. Price?

Now that was surely a score, now wasn't it? Not to mentioin convenient!

Custom colored powder coats like this would be $189 and matching uppers would be $120 list, or $309 list, but with your member 10% discount they'd be only $278.10, with shipping about $11. Leadtime to ship would be a week or less.   

Here, let me help some more. Buy the set and I'll toss in one of our cool hugger logo caps for you, a $15 value.

Like this one I'm modeling here...

just tell me if you want a black one, a blue one, or a red one?

See, I just made it that much easier
