Central Illinois | Hey there turbobuick, a Vision is not a trailer queen. So far I have over 2000 miles on my current trip and am looking at riding in temperatures of about 40F today, for the last 600 miles leg home. Trailers are expensive and a tow vehicle costs a lot in gas to drive. Why not just ride that girl and enjoy her? That is what a Vision is for. |

Stick to the subject, no philosophy lesson needed!!!!
PS- I have 63k miles on my Vision |

Central Illinois | Your owner's manual has lots of information on tie down points. If you use those you should be good to go with any trailer. |

| Ancra tie downs are the best. Do not buy cheap ones they stretch and can let loose on you.
Buy soft ties to put around triple trees and tip overs.
The rear tie down does not have to be banjo string tight. It has to be good and snug all it does is prevent the rear wheel from moving side to side.

Central Illinois | On a Vision you do not tie down the triple tree or the rear end, you tie down the rear tipovers and a molded in tie down spot located up under the front fairing. Check your owners manual for a better description and diagrams. |

East TN | Use a Condor wheel chock, agree, use soft ties to the rear tip overs pulling the Vision FORWARD tighter into the wheel chock. |

Had a member saw that I had a need for a trailer and he hooked me up with a STINGER trailer in mint condition with all the accessories. It's all set up for a Vision (that's what he has) and is like brand new (used only once) for an awesome price, thanks alberts46 aka Bill |
