heim joints to 2 full turns out. (The tab for the 3rd and 4th link will be on the bottom side
of swing arm.
Place fender on bike and install trike frame. The front tabs of frame will mount with the
stock bolts at the rear engine mount (Be sure to use lock-tite 242 blue). Start bolts and
swing frame up and bolt in place. Once all bolts are started, fully tighten.
Slide rear end under frame and route belt around pulley. Start all 5/16” bolts with spacers
previously removed. Do not tighten yet. Attach swing arm to rear end (swing arm
mounts in the second hole from the TOP of rear end and the full length spacer with ½”
bolts goes on the bottom of the rear end). Tighten all bolts around pulley and attach
brake line at pulley. Attach 3rd link bar to rear end and to swing arm (leave 4th link off at
this time). Using a floor jack, lift the rear end and attach shocks using lock-tite 242
(blue). The offset on the shock goes on the bottom and faces the back of the motorcycle.
Install air bags, air line, and T fitting. Pressurize air bags (approx 60 psi) and use a soapy
water mix to spray on all fittings to check for leaks. Spin rear end to ensure belt is
properly tracking. Remove air from bags and compress suspension using jack. Install
rear head pipe and tighten. (If equipped with o2 sensor, plug in.) Using the extensions
provided in kit, route mufflers to the back of the trike. Using the stock muffler mounting
“strap”. Position mufflers and attach strap to mufflers and mark point to cut strap (must
be shortened for clearance). Using the supplied metal spacers and bracket to mount the
mufflers to trike frame (you will have to drill a hole in the “strap” for mounting the
bracket), mark location to drill a 5/16” hole through frame and mount bracket (no rubber
bushing is needed as the motor is a structural part of the frame and the exhaust does not
move as with a typical rubber mounted motor/exhaust assembly). Tighten all exhaust
clamps, start bike and check for exhaust leaks.
Remove the stock brake caliper and attach to the aluminum brake block included in our
kit with the banjo bolt and crush washers provided. Attach the brake line on rear end to
the elbow on the brake block (be sure to use Teflon tape on elbow where it threads into
brake block. Adjust brakes for proper drag (approx 1/3 of a revolution). Bleed the brakes
and check for leaks. Attach brake block to rear end using the supplied ¼” bolt and
nylock. Secure the factory brake line to the swing arm to prevent damage.
WIRING
Victory uses an LED lighting system for the tail light and brake light; because of this
there is only partial voltage at the plug going to the rear fender. (When brakes are applied
there is not sufficient voltage to properly activate the brake lights). You must tap into the
brake light switch at the back of the motorcycle frame and route wire to the universal
pigtail in kit. Using the factory plug removed from fender, splice to the universal pigtail
in our kit. You will need a test light or similar to test the factory wires for function as the
color combinations vary by year. The color codes for our harness is as follows. (Note
that the brake wire on our harness will connect to the brake light switch at the back of
motorcycle as previously stated). The use of a load equalizer is not needed on the
Victory kit.
