$60 for DIY seems high. I can get the Nomad changed between $15-21 using either Shell Rotella dino or full synthetic.

Victory doesn't build trikes. That ugly creation is a Lehman.

"Objects in mirror are closer than they appear" best describes Victory's market position in relation to Harley.

True. But Victory is in the game and growing. Their new High Ball bobber is a nice addition to the product line. Harley's new Blackline, on the other hand, is just another Softail variant. Nothing to get excited about.
