The documented failure patterns on used Victory Visions — the mileage window where each shows up,
and what the repair typically costs at an independent shop. This is the same data NoLemon's Brief checks
against every VIN.
The two-piece front fender's plastic rear half cracks at its two mounting bolts and can wedge between the tire and fairing, locking the steering — NHTSA investigated it (PE14-006) after crash reports, but no recall was ever issued, so it is on the buyer to check. Kneel down and inspect the rear fender section's bolt holes for cracks, repairs, or a replacement part. Many owners retrofit reinforced mounts; ask.
BEFORE YOU BUY Ask for repair records covering this item. If it hasn't been addressed and the
car is in or near the mileage window, price the $250–$600 repair into your offer — or make it the seller's problem.

Stator and voltage regulator failure
The Vision's heavy electrical load makes it a frequent victim of the Freedom engine's well-documented stator and regulator failures: weak batteries, dim lights at idle, and eventual roadside death. Insist on a charging-system output test (14+ volts at 2,000 rpm). Budget $600-1,100 at an independent shop, and note replacement parts are thinning out since Victory folded.
