Rockford, IL | I like it..... But you are looking for critique.... Maybe consider not having the "top stripe" connect in the middle. Also the top stripe is more "flowy" than the other two. The other two stripes or more of a swoosh than a flow. I'm not sure how to describe it....um...maybe the two different styles are too different from each other? The radius of the top stripe?....the two lower stripes follow the radius theme of the side cowls, but the upper stripe doesn't really follow any of the radiuses of anything on the bike? Maybe take a look at some of the radiuses of different parts of the bike and bring them into the seat design? Consider adding some design to the side of the seat and then take the graphics into the side black areas of the trunk? Kinda a "tie the flow" of the bike design and the graphics design and the seat design all into one. But the key is doing this without overflowing though, which can be easily done if you aren't careful. I personally like a bike (or vehicle) that has three to five different things going on. When you initially walk up to you get a wow from the overall package....and then a wow from the graphics.....and then another from the seat...and then another from the chrome...and so on. Guess you could say its like "stages of wow" that add up to "total package wow" Why red?

Hampton Va | thanks for the ideas ....it is tuff to come up with colors that work with the cherry but the graphics I came up with on the bike I put a red stripe around them....didnt realy think it would look good but it did..... so i think this will tie in good...the tip overs and the grab handles ar getting powder coated black and then in the center of the grab handles I am puting the same red skin ....I think it will also look kinda kool. The front wheel will be either done in black and the high spots ground down to alum or all coated to crome...just to give you the overall ideas |

Richmond, Virginia | its a cool look but remember 90% of the time the only one enjoying it will be your butt............ is that worth the expense???
if so then go for it. but then thinking about it, you could really make an impact and get the mirror image tattood on your butt
............no wait forget that idea, i just realized there was a crack in that flaw........... |

| I like it, WELL DONE! In the end all that matters is that you like it, some people need to have everything stock or the bike is ugly, then there are people who can think outside the box and enjoy making their Vision a one of a kind. I like you enjoy making my bike different from the pack which is why I bought a Vision in the first place.
