Wow, this thread has really gone on a weird tangent... How is Arlen Ness and company anyway involved in the possible need for an additional forum. Frankly if there is enough interest, it seem like the moderator will add a forum just like good moderators do. He seems to not want forums with one or two threads and this is very understandable.
As to the whole Arlen Ness thing, if you check your facts, Victory hasn't used Arlen Ness for design of bikes in over 5 years. Instead, they have kept a good relationship with Ness and allowed them to take an already designed model, and provide some basic 'production-line customizing' for those wanting a little customization without wholesale work at some custom shop.
