Thanks for all the help in my last post! Now I’m gonna paint this bike in the next few weeks, I was gonna just do glossy black but then I thought yall might have some sick paint/design ideas! (I also removed both back rest)
So far I've done the side panels, both bags and the front fender. Is it perfect, no, but it's my first time but I don't think it looks bad honestly. I am on the front wing though... and so confused where to start. Anyone wrap theirs and what was their strategy?
Just bought this 2012 Vegas last week 106 is an amazing motor and these bikes are amazing, anybody got some recommendations for turn signals for the rear, the guy I bought it from cut the original ones off
Got a 2013 Highball a few months ago, as a intermediate bike. Learn quick that 106 cu. in. is not the same as 250 cc real quick, but it's now my forever bike. It has its scratches because I was dumb. I still am, but she treats me right. I love it!
Anything I should know about other than buying clutch cables by the dozen? I really want to make this one last.
The bike next to it is a Victory Octane. I haven't met the owner, but I've been looking around for them.
I’m new to victory motorcycles, I bought a 2004 victory touring cruiser, that’s what the vin comes up as. I’m having a terrible time finding parts/ parts stores that list a “Touring cruiser” is there possibly another model name I should look under? Thanks in advance!
Let's say I damage my tank and need a new one but i want it with the same green color and side design that came stock, is it possible to just order the tank itself, not the pumps or anything else, and get it with the same green color and side design as stock? And if it is, can I also do that with the fenders?
My 2010 Kingpin 8-Ball had the fuel pump go out, so I bought another one. The one I was sent is a regular male out, but my original fuel pump out was a quick disconnect. The 9.49mm coupler I have isn't connecting to the fuel pump in the tank, but the green quick disconnect connects to the engine fine. How would you approach this?
So with us only have a year and some change before 2026, who else is worried about Polaris really giving us the killing thumb 👎 on support and general parts?
I remember the OG comment was they planned for 10 years of support when they shut down Victory, but what does that mean for after that?
What things are you doing to your bike to prep for having some parts harder to find?
What's parts are you starting to stock pile if any?
I know for me I have after market clutch system with the hydrologic clutch handle installed on both of my bikes so I don't have to worry about cable replacement. I know you can get aftermarket but I have purchased another of seals for the engine as well as some rebuild kits for the Master Cylinders for both front and back breaks. Not needed now but just in case for the future.
I am getting a 97 HD roadking jack Daniel's edition from my dad, once I pay it off I was thinking about trading it for a Victory Highball. It seems like they have similar values. The high ball is everything that I want asthetically. I just went on my first long ride on my little 800 CC bobber. It was a major struggle for me. I was in serious pain after like 50 miles. It was a 300 mile ride. The roadking I know is far far more comfortable than mine, but would you consider the highball comfortable similarly to the road king?
So I purchased this victory octane a few weeks back and for about a week it’s been having a lot of trouble starting. Today on my way home from the foothills of Colorado my speedo went to 0 on the highway and came back on. Like it lost power, because it slowly came back to my highway speed. My tachometer stayed on which confused me. I feel like I should start by getting a new battery, but I brought up the starting problem at my local Polaris dealer on Friday and they said my battery tested fine for voltage. They didn’t amp test it though. Battery is a year old I’m told. Battery tested at 12.78V. Pic is of my bike.
Shopping for a replacement rear shock for the XC and my jaw hit the floor.
I just replaced the Injectors for my old 4.0 Jeep with 12 port injectors & it really brought it back to life, increased my gas millage & throttle response. It got me thinking. How many ports are on the stock Victory injectors & if there is an injector that have more ports? Does any one have a cross-reference shear or numbers for injectors?
How did everyone make it through Milton and who wants to go for a ride after things normalize. I’m over in the Tampa area if anyone need anything
My sound system is good, all factory, but I have a few issues I'm someone can help. The AM works with no issues, the FM has no sound output after working for a few seconds, and Weather Band doesn't receive just has static. When this happens I can cycle through the bands and I hear AM and AUX only. I have the Ipod cord and bought a bluetooth adapter for it so I could stream from my phone, this works great, all the time, every time. When I switch to FM, I get no sound output, period. The tuner works as designed and stops on radio stations when I press the seek button. The "ST" indicator comes on and lets me know it is receiving a stereo signal. It is even stopping on distant stations, just no sound output to the speakers. AM works as designed, I can listen to all the Mexican radio and political talk I could ever want. WB has static sound output but no stations are picked up. I am 30 miles from one of the NOAA transmitters and it comes in clear on other weather radios, nothing but static on the bike. Does anyone have any suggestions as to what could be causing this problem? I have troubleshot for hours with no good solution coming to mind.
Pretty much as the title says. Battery sits at about 11.3v, but as soon ad I hit the start switch I drop down to about 3v. Bike does not start after that. Is this a normal voltage drop?
Thought you guys might enjoy seeing this. Not sure what year it is but probably early 2000s. He sold it over a decade ago and was reminiscing today.
Bars measure roughly 36 and door measures 35 but I thought it may be possible to maneuver through? The idea is to store bikes in my walkout basement through the winter in order to retain use of all the garage stalls. Just curious if anyone had tried anything similar.
Im looking for a v twin cruiser that i havnt had yet, ive had kawasaki, yamaha, honda, and a harley. I've never hard good or bad about victorys.
Are they reliable? Are they expensive? Do they have enough umph to get out of their own way if need be? Are they worth getting one and fixing it up?
If I should get one, what model/years should I go after/avoid?
Trying to put new belt on 03 vegas cand adjust belt tensioner help asap
Recently was passed down this beauty... #001 with 5k miles signed by both arlen and cory.
Curious what you guys might think I'll be expecting from the inspection, I bought the bike sitting in a climate controlled barn last singer, the tires still had the little injection molding string things on it. Been riding it a year and it's been awesome, but I read that after tires are 5 years old you should consider getting new ones... these were 11 years old so I saved some money and took it in I also asked them to do a thorough inspection, the guy at the shop is very kind, said they'll took a look at the fluid and such but he was betting since the hydraulic fluids were sitting so long it may need to be flushed.
Sat in the garage for 10 years. Pristine condition. The shop is closed today waiting for tomorrow to hear from them
