I give up!! If I did get a tool kit with my 2011 Vision where is it located??? Also, does a regular pencil tire guage work okay to check rear shock pressures??? I had a hell of a time trying to adjust the pressure...I ordered the Victory pressure guage/pump yesterday from dealer to, hopefully, make it easier to adjust....Thanks

Should be in saddle bag. Its a joke and if you do find it the air gauge is junk. Go to the auto store and buy a good gage it will pay for its self. Not sure what air pump you ordered but if its what I think a little hand pump its good for air shock. For tire you need a compressor but you don't need a big one.
You don't say where you live but check your tires once a month. 40psi rear and 38psi in the front. You will get longer life out of them this way. I just ordered a new front tire and I have 18 thousand on it.

You can pick up the same shock pump from a Harley or bicycle dealer. The cost I believe is about the same. Just get one with the proper range gauge. The max you'll use for the shock is 75 psi so try to find one that has a max reading as close as possible so it will be easier to read at lower pressures. The one I have goes up to 120 psi.

Thanks for the replies...I quess I did not get a tool kit as I cannot find it...No biggie as said, most are junk anyhow....I live in the Detroit area, thank God not in the city, I do try to keep tire pressures at 38/39 front and 40/41 rear....Rear shock at 20psi according to my weight and the manual info.......The pump/guage I ordered from Vic is the part # listed in the manual so I assume it will work okay......

Just ask your dealer for the tool kit if they don't have it they should get you one free of charge, and yes I know people say they are junk but you bought the bike and it is supposted to have one. I think you should get everything you paid for.

My toolkit was hiding inside the owners manual case. It's basically a couple allen wrenches.

Yeah! On the 2011, they give you the small case, even though the manual is now much bigger! LOL.
