The manufacturer could answer this.
If you are more than 175cm tall, you should go with a large frame.
You might get away with the Vector HLR since it looks like you've got the 06 lower link which has some more clearance. If not you'll have to cut out some of the webbing to clear the knob. I had to clearance the lower link to fit a Vector HLR for my friends Sunday with an 05 lower link.
I'd also recommend sending it back to X-Fusion since they offer a DW link tune what works very well for the Sunday. I had it done for my Vector HLR air and it was a night and day difference. I have a non DW tuned coil version on my 6 point. You can get it pretty dialed by backing out the high and low speed comp as well as reducing the volume of the reservoir. With the DW tune on my Sunday shock it puts the adjustment ranges back where they should be so you won't be pushing the extremes to get it to feel the way you want. I'll be sending my shock in over the winter to get the tune for the my 6.

Mate, I am 90kg's and read all the info on spring weights and the shizzle. Put a 450lb spring on to match my weight and went to Morzine for a week. It f**cked up the bike and was a friggin nightmare to ride...absolutely ruined a weeks worth of riding. Went back to a 350 spring and the transformation was amazing!!. Thats with a Vivid 5.1 if it helps.
195lbs w/ no Coil Spring on the VividAirR2C.
I ended up running the Vector HLR(untuned) with a 250# spring (all I had at the time) for one weekend. It was too overdamped in compression and especially rebound. I ended up swapping it out for a BOS Stoy that came with a Sunday tune from the factory. Fitting the shock required some grinding of my 06 linkage, but nothing too drastic. I searched all over for a BOS linkage but none turned up. The shock swap absolutely transformed the bike. Just wanted to post an FYI to anyone considering running this setup.
Guys I need a piece of advice 
I have a RC4 but I broke it and now I am looking for a low speed compression for it or a new rear shock.
If anyone have a blown RC4/RC2 I will buy it
If I go for the Vivid Air what tune do I need ?
Also does anyone installed a CCDB Air there ?
Xfusion is an option as well but its price is almost as CCDB Air
I know I will need to do some work on the frame
Also I am thinking to keep this new shock to my new frame whatever it will be .....
Cheers

Chainstay/ seatstay. Cs is the lower link, ss is the upper.
woww....
cracked my dw DHR in Morzine 2 months a go ...
so, going back to a sunday.
just bought a used frame from a friend.
will sand blast it, then powder coat it. dont know what color ....
put on it new bearings, and a RC4
used to have on for years. the best DH bike I owned.
really happy to come back

A custom one - 3 degrees
Every single lathe (milling) operator can make one for you and the best thing is the head tube is strong enough to handle such geo.
I am amazed by this bike ,it's so bloody strong it's unbelievable
Friend of mine had a L size Sunday, exactly with a -3 degrees headset done by a milling operator (or whatever it's called). Beautifully managable bike, perfect geometry with the 62 HA, very stable at long fast descents. It was very sad he had to sell it.A custom one - 3 degrees

Mine is with a -2 degrees headset but i'm planning on going yours and my friend's way to slacken it out a bit more.
Sorry mate I do not have the drawings but just bring one normal 1.5 headset like Nukeproof ,Hope etc
It's completely standard and yes the L Sunday rulezz : )
It uses standart sealed headset bearings - OD 41mm H 6,5mm 36 x 45 degree.

Yep, i do have the drawing for the -3degrees headset, done specifically for a Sunday frame. but i'm not sure how to upload it here. If anyone needs it, i can provide it via e-mail, skype....
And it uses normal bearings - my friend made his headset around bearings taken from a FSA one.

you can probably get close to that by running an angleset with two -1.5* cups. I ran two -1* cups to get -2* for a while on another frame.
I think you are making a mistake in calculating your degrees.
You can't put one -1.5 on top and any different cup on the bottom of the headtube.
It wont work coz the steerer tube won't go through the top headset.
Um wut
You run -1.5 up top, and +1.5 on bottom. Makes a more extreme angle. I used -1 and +1 for a year. Just reverse the bottom cup, instead of running a zero offset.
Hey,
I got an Iron Horse MKIII and have a problem with it.
The mail pivot bolt can't be tightened, because the thread in the frame is washed out.
It would be great if anyone knew what exact kind of thread this is, as I thought it might be possible to use a Helicoil (http://www.boellhoff.de/en/de/fasteners/special_fasteners/thread_technology/helicoil.php).
I couldn't find any information about it on the Internet.
Cheers,
Greg

Does anyone here have a 7point large or medium front triangle for sale? Doesn't matter what year or color post it up or pm what ever is available
Sorry I don't know the answer but I have a BNIB mkiii front triangle, 17" I can sell for 150, literally brand new never used
Any body tried Double Barrel Air on a 6 point frame?
Every information is welcomed, thanks.

Having two stages of rebound are what really chirps-up the dw*link; dunno what quality open compression valving CCDB will exhibit, but my experience is like Dave Weagle has previously stated - that this suspension has a natural tendency for Compression damping.
If you truly want something custom and with the most adjustability, find a shock having Beginning and Ending Rebound adjustment and have the end-stroke stepped-up in Tune from base. That way finer tune of spring-rate can be found and used.
ive got a CCDBA on my Large 6point right now. Had to add approx 1 band of bottom out in the can, and tweaked a bit, my current feeling on it is "Meh." I will give it a couple more months before making a decision. The shock works fairly well with HSC wide open and LSC 2-4 clicks in from wide open, i just more or less copied the setups that Mojo HD guys use. Rebound is about 7 clicks in from wide open. The shock does its job, but i was spoiled by Xfusion HLR coil and air shocks. I also sent the ccdba to suspension experts in asheville so they could tune it, and that helped a tiny bit but still does not hold a candle to the xfusions i had on there previously
And what about a CCDB air on an Iron Horse Sunday? Ithink the frame's the 2009 Factory series, if this is important.
I have an Iron Horse 6 Point, I just ordered a Vivid air for it with the M/M tune. I understand I should have a L/L tune instead? I have a couple questions..What exactly would the M/M tune do to the suspension characteristics that would make it unfavorable? Is it not possible at all to get the M/M to perform well? Shim stacks are cheap but I was trying to avoid tearing into an unfamiliar shock, although its definitely not out of my mechanical "skill set" if you will.
Also, I notice the Vivid has a tune for compression AND rebound...When i search for low tune shim stacks, I seem to only be able to find one option.
http://www.bikeparts.com/search_results.asp?id=BPC376368&gclid=CO3n_ens1LsCFWMV7Aod4mkApw
Is this the only thing I need to convert it to a low tune? I.E. is there two seperate shim stacks I would need to convert it to L/L? Any part numbers and links would be appreciated.

Potentially will make it better in the rough and on square edged hits. If the rebound is feeling sluggish even at full fast then it would probably aid that as well.
If you don't have either of those problems then by all means just ride it as-is. If there's any harshness try it with the external LSC all the way open first. The Vivid Air is a little bit finicky to work on, so I probably wouldn't bother unless you feel it needs improvement. If you hit the extremes of adjustment and still aren't happy then consider changing.
