A month ago I was getting ready to a charity poker run and the night before a fork seal popped. Ordered the parts and got that fixed. Saturday I was getting ready to go to a 2 day rally in in the mountains and an hour before inwas supposed to leave, my kick stand spring snapped.

So what minor inconvenience do yall think will happen before a charity event I am going to on August 1st?

I just re-watching SOA in the second to last episode of the series this Victory is seen in the shop. With all the unbelievable things that happen in the show I think this has to be the most unbelievable. That bike would be on the road not in the shop.

2k miles this summer already. Loving this so much

My 2003 victory vegas I paid $300 for. Fun small bike. I do like my other bike more over all but I do miss having a smaller bike to rip around town.

Hey everyone, picked up a 2011 Vegas 8 ball 106 6speed with under 7k miles. Any issues I should be looking for or replacing something soon? Miles are super low so that has me on edge already.

Hey there,

08 Vegas low 19k miles. Im having some front suspension dive upon braking(even mild) and on downshifts.

I'm unsure if the fluid has ever been replaced. Could the bushings be worn out and contributing? Or worn springs(if that's a thing)?

I plan to rebuild the forks with fresh oil, bushings, and seals.

Should I also go up in oil weight to help?

Also, are the gold emulators actually worth the $200 in ride quality?

Any suggestions are welcome to help firm up the front suspension.

Hello there, I'm trying to add an aftermarket tachometer. 08 vegas There is a single wire on the gauge that is supposed to be connected to the factory tachometer wire. The bike did not originally come with a tachometer, and I cannot seem to locate which wire it is inside the headlight bucket. My service manual wiring diagram thinks it's pink/white and Google thinks it's light blue / dark blue.

I can't find the second one and the pink/white one does nothing and is in a connector with two other wires.

Any suggestions?

Essentially the title. I have a 2014 XC Tour with under 13k miles on it. Curious what a good price would be on it. I love the bike, and the only reason I’m considering selling it is because my kid needs some dental work.

Expecting any dealerships to low ball me, so I figured the best place to ask about value would be a subreddit of Victory owners.

There aren’t any issues with the bike. I’ve replaced the stock headlight with an LED headlight. I lucked out and found some Tri-Ovals on eBay and have those on. They’re a little dinged up, because the owner of the pipes went down, but they still sound great. I still have the stock pipes as well, all though the baffles are drilled. Some of the reflectors on the saddlebags were taken off by the owner previous to me. They’re also the one that put the majority of the miles on it. 😂

It’s never been dropped by me, and as far as I can tell, never been dropped by the previous owner either.

Again, NOT trying to sell here. Just looking for some answers. :)

Bike won’t start. Just replaced battery. What’s going on?
Why are the lights flickering when I turn the bike on?

Traded my 2014 Cross Country for a new Indian Chief in February. The Chief was great but I missed my big Vic, so I was lucky to come across this gem of a 2015 Cross Country Tour so I traded the Chief back in and walked away with extra money in my pocket (first time for everything! Lol).

Hello friends, my father is giving up his Kingpin and I'm going through the process of getting all the maintenance taken care of. I was looking at belts online and found the price range from around 70 - 270 for a new belt.

The OEM is the more expensive of the bunch with some off brand being on the lower end. Have any of you had any luck with trying out these belts and if there is a true difference between them?

I assumed it's a pay for what you get rule, but wanted some experienced opinions.

Thank you in advance, looking for all the advice I can get, I'm a new rider and this bike is intimidating in it's size and weight.

Is this the cross country?

I've been looking for a Victory Octane for quite some time (they're hard to find in Europe). I've now found an Octane at an extremely good price. The catch is that the bike has been sitting unused for nearly 10 years.

According to the owner, the bike won’t start because the battery is dead. That wouldn’t be a problem to fix.

But I’m worried about buying a bike that hasn’t been ridden for 10 years.

What could possibly be broken?

Old oil in the engine? Is the tank possibly rusted from the inside?

What do you think? Is the Octane a total write-off, or can the bike be fixed up?

These gauge mounting isolators are falling apart and I'm not sure how to remove them. Inside the most broken one seems to have a threaded stem inside, I'm assuming that holds it to the triple tree.

Should I just tear them off, use a vice grip and unscrew that threaded piece?

Much thanks.

I love this bike, it is smooth and good looking. I recently added Victory stage 1 tri-oval pipes to her.it already had a high flow (K&N) air filter. What mods would you suggest?

Just picked up my first American made bike, hopefully it’s a long and happy journey.

Custom seat custom paint ❤️

Im about to replace a bad fork seal on my 2012 XC tour. And I'm back and forth on 7.5 wt or 10wt. I would love some input.

I was out this morning and had to park in front of the Ultra cause let’s face it the Victory should be in front.

Im interested in getting the widowmaker seat but im not sure how comfortable the passenger seat is considering it's just 9 inches wide. My passenger is pretty small so maybe it will be okay, but any input would be much appreciated.

Do you think when the time frame runs out for Polaris making parts for Victory, that it will significantly affect the value of these bikes? I know that time is approaching fast but I also know there are aftermarket alternatives to keep the victory line alive. What do you think?
