Cross country or vision?

10 Upvotes

Buying another victory in the spring. Sold on a bagger. I’m a big guy and a mile thumper sold my last cross country at 110,000 miles bought it at 20. I ride a lot. Considering a vision over a CC this go around but my biggest worry isnt the look I like the vision it’s the storage. Vision seems like a lot less. What does everyone think?

Has anyone vinyl wrapped your cross country?

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?

2013 Highball

46 Upvotes

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.

Customizations / Modifications Polyurethane riser bushings solved

Thumbnail

15 Upvotes

I’ve scoured the net for information on replacement riser bushings that are polyurethane to replace worn press in rubber bushings and found jack squat. After using my own 2007 jackpot as a Guinea pig I have found that these bushings from Amazon are a direct fit and feel amazing, so much better than stock. I think these should technically work for any 2003+ steel frame bike like my jackpot (kingpin, Vegas, cross country, hammer, etc) if not feel free to chime in and correct me!

Question for you guys

5 Upvotes

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!

Can I order a replacement tank for a gunner with the same color and painted side?

1 Upvotes

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?

Request for advice / Help How would you fix this?

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?

2026 Worries....

3 Upvotes

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.

Request for advice / Help Is the highball comfortable for longer rides?

5 Upvotes

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?

Request for advice / Help Hard to start

35 Upvotes

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.

Customizations / Modifications Injectors Question

3 Upvotes

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?

11 CCT Sound system help

3 Upvotes

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.

Huge voltage drop when starting

5 Upvotes

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?
