At the fit and finish once the newness wears off. You may find the saddle bag lid wearing grooves in the body panel where the lid meets the body. Or you may find large gaps around the head light. While I knew about the fit and finish problems with the vision I didn't see them until I actually got off the bike and started looking. Victory is taking the corrective action to fix it so I am happy about that and my adopted dealer has went above and beyond to correct these problems even tho they didn't sell me the bike. I just need to find these before my first year warranty is up. So go over your new vision with a fine tooth comb before taking delivery. Don't let the newness blind you like it did me.

Too late for me. I noticed minor issues but consciously decided to ignore them. I just love my Vision.

Yeah... my fuel tank door is rubbing the inside of the top of it's mating surface. I have extreme rattling from the trunk area (most of the time I wear foan ear inserts so it doesn't bother me). Left front tip of the seat develops a small gap; no matter how many times a reinstall the seat and tighten down the front seat screws.

But that's all that I found wrong on my 2011 Vision. Used to it now....

2008 with almost 66,000 miles and the new still hasn't worn off. I don't expect it will. panel alignment is another non issue with me. If it shuts and opens and keeps weather out, I'm good.

I have readjusted many body parts and fixed rattles. If I could afford a new one one I would run to the dealer to buy it.
Saw my first Vision when Arlen and Cory road into the hotel parking lot and new I wanted one

Where the saddlebags rub, put a small piece of velcro (loop side only) to prevent it. It kinda works like moleskin.
