Baltimore, Md | I was unfortunate enough to have my Vision's glovebox (left side) spring latch fall out on my ride home from a cam party. I was forced to stop at a convenience store and find some tape to hold the door closed to keep it from interfering with the handlebars while riding. However, the biggest surprise came when I went to a dealer to order the new replacement piece. Being well aware of how high Victory parts and accessories are priced, I was expecting a high price for this little (probably) $.50 piece of plastic. Figuring I was looking at maybe a $10 charge and steeling myself to pay it, I was shocked to find out that the piece costs over $21.00!  Now, I realize this is a proprietary piece and can't really be priced as the simple small plastic part that it is, but $21.00 just seems truly exorbitant. The part is not all that strong to begin with and the door doesn't always latch cleanly. So I can't imagine that the piece failing or falling out is a huge surprise. The surprise is in the replacement cost. Mine fell out at night on a highway, so there was no finding it. If yours falls out in your garage, etc., do your best to find it - it isn't the cheap little plastic part you might think.
