BearCat Posted February 21, 2019 Share Posted February 21, 2019 (edited) Hey guys, I have a question regarding the body size of the 2017 USA Flying V that came in black and white. I know it has the half guard, but is the body any smaller than the standard shape, or the 2018 shape? I know the 2016 was smaller, but I feel like the 2017 looks smaller (narrower), probably because of the half guard. Also, I'm wondering if the body is thinner like the 2015 Japanese market V that came in black and vintage burst. I liked that model but it was neck heavy due to the lack of body mass. I would like to buy one of these 2017's now that they're discounted but I don't want a smaller/thinner body. Thanks for your answers!

I don't know, but I'm interested in answers to your questions too, just curious. I'd like to see specifics int the answers, too. What measurements are smaller/narrower/thinner. Actual dimensions.

Pinch Posted February 27, 2019 Share Posted February 27, 2019 I have no specs, but my 2017 V feels full size and is a metal machine. Love it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MichaelT Posted March 1, 2019 Share Posted March 1, 2019 I don't have the answer but I'll try to get mine measured. I have a 1981, 2007 and 2018 Flying V. I've heard that the newer ones were smaller but I'm not sure when they got smaller or if they did. I really enjoy my 2018 V although my 1981 is still my favorite.
