Hey Guys,
Does anybody have an old shock laying around that I could buy? I just need the air hose assembly off of it. The one I made up seems to be leaking a bit so rather than reinvent the wheel I'd like to just put an original hose back. My original failed with a little help from me The other thing to consider is if someone is contemplating buying a new shock because their original is leaking oil or whatever I could contribute some dough which would lessen the pain. Chris maybe??

Anyway, any help is appreciated.

I didn't know they made a shock for the Vision. I looked on there website a couple of months ago and didn't see anything. I'll call them tomorrow.

I'll ask the silly question does your hose screw into the shock or is it a sealed fitting.

Hi John,
It screws in with a very unusual thread size. The hose is a crimped assembly including the schrader valve and fitting.

So maybe it a fine thread like whats on stainless braided hoses. Maybe a after market store could help you out. Don't for get to wrap the threads.

I lucked out! There was a guy on eBay parting out an '11 Vision and the shock was broken. He sold me the hose off of it for $40 delivered. Perfect!
