Don't have a Vision, but have parked my 3 Vics in an unheated garage since 00. Made the mistake on putting a cover on the 00C the first year, had lots of chrome start pitting. If you also park a car, when the road turds from the snow melt, it causes moisture in the air, ours has salt in it to make matters worse. The cover will keep moisture underneath it longer than the rest of the garage, so I stopped using a cover. Then was told by a friend to coat all the chrome with WD40. This works great and protects the chrome and comes off easily when cleaned in the spring. Hope this helps

Tacoma, WA | The wheels on the Vision are powder coated, so they should fare fine in a garage.------Metalguy | |
