Upgraded Air Shock on Vision

landscape88 Posted 2015-03-19 7:05 PM (#171338) Subject: Upgraded Air Shock on Vision Puddle Jumper Posts: 30 Anyone try an aftermarket air shock on a vision. Can't seem to get rid of the jolt when bike hits what I call a small bump. Either single 200# or with a 100# passenger. Tried different air pressures with not much improvement johnnyvision Posted 2015-03-20 5:42 PM (#171355 - in reply to #171338) Subject: Re: Upgraded Air Shock on Vision Visionary Posts: 4278 <p>so how much air are you using. 70psi maybe</p><p>inside the saddle bag is a chart </p> Edited by johnnyvision 2015-03-20 5:51 PM landscape88 Posted 2015-03-20 7:59 PM (#171362 - in reply to #171338) Subject: Re: Upgraded Air Shock on Vision Puddle Jumper Posts: 30 I'll check on weekend, it's an 8 Ball Vision. swmckinley54 Posted 2015-05-06 2:37 PM (#172270 - in reply to #171338) Subject: Re: Upgraded Air Shock on Vision Cruiser Posts: 59 Austin Texas Yaaaalll Take a look at the top of the shock (you have to take your seat off) and make sure the bolt holding the shock to to the frame isn't sheared off. Mine was and I had that exact same problem. johnnyvision Posted 2015-05-06 5:15 PM (#172277 - in reply to #171338) Subject: Re: Upgraded Air Shock on Vision Visionary Posts: 4278 how much air in your tire Nozzledog Posted 2015-05-07 4:30 PM (#172301 - in reply to #171338) Subject: Re: Upgraded Air Shock on Vision Visionary Posts: 1229 Rancho Cucamonga, CA 8ball Visions use a smaller shock than the Vision Tour. It is the same as the Ness and has 1" less travel. One option would be to replace it with a Tour shock. I have been considering this as well. There is a little confusion on the Victory website though, it looks like the newer bikes have all gone to the same size shock and have changed the "dogbone" length to get the different ride height now. You may have to get a shock off an older bike. johnnyvision Posted 2015-05-07 6:12 PM (#172308 - in reply to #171338) Subject: Re: Upgraded Air Shock on Vision Visionary Posts: 4278 8 ball shock 2010 p/n 7517988 link rod p/n 2877612 vision tour 2014 p/n 1542903 link rod stayed the same. in 2010 Vic mid year changed the shock to p/n 1542903. I'm sure you could find someone willing to trade with you. Maybe even me landscape88 Posted 2015-05-07 7:57 PM (#172313 - in reply to #171338) Subject: Re: Upgraded Air Shock on Vision Puddle Jumper Posts: 30 So the current shock on Vision Tour is the same length or longer as I thought the rod lowered the 8 Ball one inch. I will first pull off seat and check for a sheared bolt. If it is longer travel length I am sure that could be an option to soften the ride with more travel.
