Great Product
I have FMB bars on another bike and the quality is outstanding on both. The design, welds and powder coat were flawless. Great product at a reasonable price.

Perfect!
Excellent fit and finish. Just beautifully crafted. They fit my 14 Vic XC perfectly. All stock cables reach with no problem. Straightforward install. Note that you will need to dremel down the dowel pin inside the electrical switch housings. Not a problem, but I forgot about that when reassembling and it had me stumped for a second. They really transform the look of the bike. But more importantly, they put my hands up higher and allow me to stretch out my arms. This allows my shoulders, neck, and back to stay more neutral and upright respectively instead of eventually slumping forward and slouching on long rides. So yes, they definitely look cool, but theres much more involved here than just aesthetics. They check all the boxes for me and are an easy 5 stars. I just wish I would have made the switch years ago.

DOES NOT FIT STOCK CABLES, but they're great looking bars.
I had to order new cables for my bike. The bars were just too tall. Maybe by an inch or 2 to fit the stock cables. While it set me back more than I wanted it to, the bars themselves are quality and very nice. Had the stock cables fit as advertised, I would give 5 stars.

Very nice bars
Have used these all summer on my Victory Cross Country Tour. The 14” size is perfect for me.Put my arms at a proper height for comfort and gives that extra leverage with the fork mounted faring. The welds and finish are excellent.FMB was great to deal with. Excellent service.

PERFECT IN EVERY WAY!!!!
I have a tall upper torso and searched for the best possible handlebars I could find that didn't require me to change the controls and gave me the best hand position for my comfort of riding. THESE ARE THEM!!! They put my hands at the perfect height (and room for you to move up or down a little, not much). The wind protection is less but still evident. The handling of these are SO MUCH BETTER than stock bars. The reviews on here cannot say it any better. These look amazing on the bike, east to install (you will have some work in fairing removal), perfect position for riding, better control of bike. I cannot say anything negative about these things....they truly are PERFECT!!!!!!!! Dont waste time searching if this meets your criteria....you will not be disappointed.

No set holes and non-abs models DO NOT FIT WITH STOCK BRAKE LINE OR CLUTCH
After spending 300 bucks, I was expecting the product to be as advertised and I've heard great things about this shop from fellow Victory riders. However, after waiting for it to finally arrive, excited to install them, I'm immediately met with the disappointment of no pin holes for the controls and an absolutely impossible brake line and clutch fitment. There is no amount of adjustment I can make that would allow the brake line or clutch to reach without rotating the bars so the handles are essentially over the headlight. The bars feel and look great, but the dissatisfaction of having them drastically not fit, like no chance in he*l, with the brake line and clutch wants me to put an even lower rating, but the product itself seems great. I only wish that they fit as they were said to. Now I'm looking to have to reinstall my old bars again and spring for a brakeline and a clutch cable that I wasn't expecting to have to pay for right before a trip, then also do another brake bleed and fluid change that I just did at the beginning of the season,then drill a hole for the controls to seat properly, just to make these $300 bars actually work. Not impressed with the lack of detail from such a reputable company. I can understand maybe not drilling holes so the customer can place the bars where they want and not have to have the controls rotated oddly, but you can always put hilesand let the customer drill different ones if they want, however there is no reason that the brake line and clutch is so far off from fitting that there is no way someone messed that up in the description and because of that, I'm out another probably $200+ in brake line, clutch, and fluid along with time wasted on what was not supposed to be an issue in the first place.EDIT: they are, apparently, only able to fit stock cables and wires if you have the ABS models. So, if you have any non abs model, be prepared to buy the bars, an extended brake line, an extended clutch cable (at least a plus 6"), brake fluid, and a brake bleeder of you don't have one..... basically an extra $200+ in crap you weren't expecting to have to pay for OR return your bars.

Great fit and bad a$$!
These are a perfect fit for your Victory Cross Country. The powder coat is very thick and I did have to do a little sanding to get the controls installed. Gives the bike the perfect look and at the right price. Some people say you need an extended brake line but I didn't have any problem with stock controls. Just a little adjusting of where the stock lines run and it all fits together nicely. Highly recommend.
