I know this is pretty much a simplistic issue; where to pack your air pump for the rear shock. I finally found the ultimate spot for it; mounted in the top forward area of the top truck; using two Velcro straps that were easily attached with the two allen head screws directly behind them.

Doesn't interfere at all with anything else (like FF helmets) i the trunk.

Nice and tight. Doesn't rattle and now the damned thing will always be with me....

Sorry, Will ...
Sometimes I forget that things that are important to others - aren't to me. So I yip-yap...

I ride 2-up 99.9% of my time - and my dealer somehow has my suspension set perfectly and I have NEVER (in 5 years with my Vision) felt that I needed to change however it is set. I have owned OTHER bikes with adjustable setting - and AGAIN - never felt I needed to check it - or re-set it. So - no pump for me (I guess I am a BAD guy...)
My friends - wait, that sounds strange....
Gaddangned Alzheimer's ....
Some folks say that ...

Sorry, Will. What wuz this about .... ???

Ride safe, anyway

From one old fart to another... don't worry about it Don :-)

I ride solo a lot; so do not want the rear shock pumped for 2-up all of the time... but during occasions that my better half takes a trip with me; I can easily add more air per the chart values for 2-up.

I don't have the Victory pump, but came up with a similar solution some time ago:

There is another spot, on mine, the right hand saddle bag top just under the locking mechanism the pump fits gage side facing in . Almost like it was made to go there. Using a small ( tiny) bungee wrap it once around the pump and attach to the screws before and after then if you take the trunk off you still have the pump with you

I mounted mine on the left side with the gage head tucked into the nook. Had to mount it there due to mirror installed for the wife.
