Anyone seen the 09 Arlen Ness street model out and about or in the show rooms?I had a chance to look at one this past week at a dealer's showroom. I believe the seat on it is a Corbin seat.If anyone has sat on a Corbin,they are very hard. The Corbin looks very nice but the stock Vision
seat is more comfortable-more cushiony. |

New Bohemia, VA | Nice looking seat, but I prefer to have my locally covered with leather. The only problem is it will take a week or more and I can't do without it that long. Anyone have a loaner seat?? |

US | I really wanteed a Ness, but I am glad I got the premium I do not like the feel of the billet grips, no HID headlight stock and the seat has one less inch of padding and not heated and of course no heated grips. I do like the diamond cut cylinders the wheels s and the monochromatic paint job though want to do those items to miy bike, only thing stoppig me, LOC lack of cash!

Richmond, Virginia | I saw it rode it, thought i would get tired of the paint scheme, plus the lack of heated grips, seat, less padding, etc the Vision street premium is a better choice. Thats why i bought my premium black and added the tribal skins (which are not available DANG). As much of a Ness fan as I am, id rather design this bike from my own mind. BTW I added the front wheel mud flap MAJOR improvement
to keeping front fairing and inner guts clean. easy install. Anyone notice that once you add that Ipod connector plug, your Victory
Emblem appears on your Ipod display.. pretty cool. Question seeking help... anyone else have a left saddle bag that doesnt close
as clean looking as the right one? You can still see a bit of the black plastic "teeth" running down the side on my left unit. Not sure if
the closer is adjustable or not. |

Lusby,Md | I would rather have a firmer seat, the stock seat is to soft for my taste.I e- mailed Mustang seats and they said they don't intend to make any kind of seat for the Vision now or anytime in the future.I hope somebody comes out with a firmer heated seat for the Vision Tour. |

Ruskin, Fl | I tried to adjust my left bag and I think I made it worse. Vision Mods from Across the Pond article on the home page shows some how to stuff and the left bag fix is one of them. I just haven't gotten around to it.

Try Sargent seats they can fix whatever you need and they have quick turn around also, can even change seat cover material for you!

Corbin does make the seat and with the heat option for the Vision. |

Sat on the Ness last week when buying the Vision...wanted to be sure I didn't like this one better. Strange thing about the seat is that the Ness is 1" lower than the Vision, and I couldn't flat foot it while I can the Vision.
Seat's wider on the Ness. |

Brighton, TN | VaParadox - there are a couple of threads for saddlebag alignment. Mine is the same way, I just haven't had a chance to align it yet.
Smitty - do they have bigger rims on them. I know the Ness bikes they rode around on had like an 18 and 20 inch rim or something like that, pushing it in the air.
I haven't really gotten into the whole Ness thing, they do a decent job, but nothing that sparks my fingers to dig into my wallet. Who would want the billet grips over the heated grips. I love my heated grips.
