| All, Does anyone know who made these arm rests? They look like a modified version of the Kuryakyn GL1800 sets. Thanks,
Tim

| Those are DEFINITELY heavily modified Kury Akyn armrests from a Honda GL1800 Goldwing. I had the Kury Akyn armrests on my Wing when I traded it in, the pads are the same as is the cup holder that rotates out from under the right armrest, and the hinge point looks to be the same as well. I've talked to the people from Kury Akyn (actually was at their offices while out on a ride) and they told me that they don't currently have anything in the works for the Vision due to the low production numbers, so the armrests in the picture must be ones that someone customized themselves. If those are not production but are a custom job, then it can't be too hard to customize the stock Kury armrests to do the job right. |

Carrollton, TX | Victory had them on one of their Visions at one of the big bike shows. Kuryakyn did make them for Victory and I talked to an engineer at Victory about 2 months ago and he said they are still working on them as the original design had some problems after testing and they needed to redesign the way they mounted. He said they should be ready this summer. Kuryakyn is making parts for the Vision but only under an OEM agreement with Victory and only for Victory to sell through their dealers. The highway pegs are also made by Kuryakyn. |

Tim I know that is the way we see it but I think they look at it as summer started June 21st and we are just over 2 weeks into summer. IMO they should have been ready when they started shipping the Vision as well as a host of other accessories that have not made it out the door yet. You would think a union was running their accessory department. LOL |

| It might help submit this as an accessory request via the Victory website. They have an email address and subject line where you can submit accessory requests. Tim |

Hartland, , WI | I laughed when I first saw them...thought they were a joke that someone was "pimping" us all with on the website...I'll wait to see if there are a few other after market companies that will also come up with a design.
I thought they were stolen off the head ranch hand from the silver spur ranch and bent to fit on a bike. |
