– 2005 Victory Kingpin – Arlen Ness Signature Series

NESS SIGNATURE SERIES KINGPIN™. TAKING THE FACTORY CUSTOM SOMEPLACE IT’S NEVER BEEN BEFORE.

The introduction of the Ness Signature Series Vegas last year set a new standard for the factory custom. This year, we set Arlen and Cory Ness loose on the Victory Kingpin. Once again, the bar has been raised. It starts with standard Kingpin genetics. Big fenders. Inverted front fork. Freedom 92/5 V-Twin. Comfortable ride. And an attitude from the other side of the tracks. But look deeper, and you’ll see this bike is a vision in Ness chrome and billet. Billet wheels, billet engine cover inserts and billet-style mirrors. You’ll also find a chrome swingarm, chrome foot controls, chrome passenger peg supports, chrome axle brackets, chrome triple clamps and chrome switch housings. If the Nesses could make it shine, they did. There’s a radical “Purple Haze” color scheme that tells you this didn’t run through any ordinary paint booth. There’s a radius drag bar with braided stainless cables and a custom-stitched ostrich-pattern seat. It’s finished with a Ness logo EFI cover and Ness signature side cover.
