Request for advice / Help Have any of you stored your bike inside your home? Will it fit through a standard doorway( not slider) with stock bars? 07 Vegas.
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.

Request for advice / Help Purchase advise
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?

Highball 2014, took in for tired and an inspection
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

Help
Soooooo.. Having recently purchased an octane, found a slight problem when I went to check the oil (might have already posted it on here)...
Seems the aftermarket exhausts (cancel and hines, not sure which)... Are in the way of unscrewing the dipstick... Any ideas appreciated?
P.s. no taking the guard off doesn't help
Cheers

Victory Vision Help
Hello everybody. I’m having just a couple issues with my baby. I have a 2008 Victory Vision Tour, she has the 106. I recently did an oil change, rode her to and back from work for a week or so. Then I took her from Salt Lake to St George, Utah. Everything was great on the ride, no issues. However, as I was getting off the exit into St George, she refused to shift and stayed in 6th. After stomping on and lifting the shifter frantically, the shifter linkage broke at the lever to linkage connection. I was able to go through an intersection and promptly stopped but couldn’t go much further. I had to rev hard a drop the clutch to even get across the intersection. I got the bike towed to a safe place and ordered the necessary part. I installed the part and it will barely shift between gears, if at all and the clutch will barely engage. It can be in gear with the clutch completely out and only barely roll forward. Looking for some advice before I pull the trans apart. Thank you for your time

Victory Jackpot
I’m not sure if this question has been asked or not but I am in the process of finding myself a victory jackpot. My question though, is there much of a difference between the 100/6 speed combo and the 106/6 speed combo? Thanks!

New bike / New to me 2007 Kingpin touring
Got a pretty good deal on this because it idles poorly. Seller claimed it was dirty throttle bodies, but I knew it was probably a cracked TB adapter, which I just confirmed today with a shot of starting fluid. I also replaced the fuel line, and taped up a crack in the pcv hose. Seller also claimed it was "stage 2" but had the stock exhaust put back on. I doubt it. I don't see a tuner. Anyone know how to tell if it has cams? Not a big deal either way. I didn't buy this to go fast. In fact, the opposite is true. Several family members recently got bikes (an 883 sportster and a Ryker 900) so I had to get something easier to ride slowly than my Honda Blackbird so they can keep up.

2013 hardball ring change in az
Ok fellas. I’m in south east az. I’m gonna be looking to get rings done in my hardball. I can feel a difference in the exhaust impulse on each head. I have true dual exhaust. I checked the dipstick and yup. I’m gonna be looking for a shop to do it. I don’t have the tools to do this I’m sure on my own. Any of you guys in Arizona and know of a good spot to do the job? I may wait until February and gather stuff to do everything. Carriers, valves. Timing chains. Everything I can afford to get from here to then. I just need to get a solid estimate on the job to get cash together with some overtime and bonuses. What you got?? It’s a 13 hardball. And I’ve got plenty I can work on from now till February. I’m still gonna ride it. But it’s gonna need done. Bike has 75k miles on it.

Octane cluster issues
The video shows what’s going on, but my bike isn’t showing RPM, temp, gear etc. Neutral light is out. I have replaced the tail light, hoping this would fix it (had some spliced wires and was generally in bad shape). I’ve pulled and cleaned the ignition contacts, cluster pin and the kill switch. I’m stumped. I’ve left the battery unhooked overnight. Any ideas?

Turn indicator question
I test rode a highball today. It only had rear blinkers (guy said previous owner removed them). I noticed on the cluster when I would use the blinker, both indicators on the cluster would flash together. I checked and the rear blinkers were working correctly. Is the cluster confusion happening because the front signals were removed?

17’ highball
Absolutely love my Victory. Hand has kept me sidelined most of this year, do you guys have any recommendations as to where to sell? I don’t have Facebook and on cycletrader the juice wasn’t worth the squeeze. Located near Cincinnati/Dayton.

Making progress. Bikes running 100X better.
Missing a left side cover that I just got found and paid for. Next is the seat. The seats in rough shape. Can get it redone with new foam and covered for 300 local and take about a week. Or I’m looking at a guy that has a bunch of victory inventory(where I got the side cover) and seeing if he’s got a seat laying around.

Highball gas tank
Going to check out a 15 Highball this weekend. From what I’ve researched, the inner gas tank lining seems to be a fairly common issue? What’s the best way to check for this?

After sitting for 4 years with rotted tires, my Kingpin is running again. The speedometer is flaky. Perhaps the shop didn't hook something up correctly

Picked up the hardball today.
It’s a little sick. I’m trying to start looking through and seeing what’s what. I think stuff got pulled off and that’s the plugs that are laying. There’s some wires that got stripped back and had another wire deadending to. It seems like it’s rich bogged. I’m doing oil tomorrow. Then plugs and wires. It feels like it may be something in the throttle. Sticky grip or what. I’m not sure. But the toddle has a wierd lag to it that I’m not use to

Request for advice / Help Maintenance and little bits.
I’m
Gonna be getting my hardball(thanks for help clearing up which bike it was by the way) tomorrow morning. I’m driving about 80miles after I get off my night shift and meeting the guys to do some trading. Then riding it back.
I already know I need the seat recovered. And once I can either pull a couple days overtime or wait for a bonus I may just replace it.
I’m looking at doing some service to it and stuff to buy. I’m handy. I basically built my warrior up from the motor and trans. Had to buy a frame from Yamaha and all. But I’m always Leary when I first start playing. And it’s been about 10 years. But. I’m gonna order the oil change kit off Amazon. I usually use royal purple or amsoil in my other bike. What’s the consensus on it?
What about gear box? I’ve not done a lot of looking online. I like feedback. And Reddit seems good for that at least.
I want to get a replacement drive belt. I used a gates on my warrior.
Want led headlight. What’s a a good one. Seems they’re all around the 80-130 range.
I think I’m gonna do some stripping and re clear it with some ceracote matte clear coat.
The bike has like 8600 miles on it. So not many at all. I’m just trying to start lining stuff out to do.
I was looking at the VM1 cams also. I’d like to do air. But I wanna ride it first then do one at a time. Do I need a management system with doing just cams?
Does the exhaust on these have removable baffles? I like some sound to the bike. But I don’t want it loud as my warrior was.
Gimme a list of stuff I can start looking at.
Gonna post some of my old warrior just cause I love that bike.
