Hey All

Just wondering if anyone has a ViVi with the "black metallic arrowhead" paint job? If so, are there pictures in the gallery or could some be posted?

Thanks

Gerry

<p>I believe those replacement panels from Victory are currently discontinued due to a problem with the original vendor that Victory was using. But for a total of around $2800 plus installation you could get the Arlen Ness Vision panels, but for that kind of money you could just about get either a custom panels off bike paint job or for much less, like around $1000 you could go to one of the major rallies and get someone like Dan Kite to hand paint some custom graphics on your bike. I've used him before, in fact the pictures of the candy red GL1800 Goldwing on his website are from when he did my bike in 2003. Here is a link to his website: </p><p> http://www.dankitepinstriping.com/</p><p>One of the pictures of my old Goldwing when he did it:</p><p><img width="489" height="367" border="0" alt="Custom Dan Kite graphics on my old 2003 Goldwing" title="Custom Dan Kite graphics on my old 2003 Goldwing" src="http://www.dankitepinstriping.com/thumbnails/graphics/honda/DSC01690.jpg" /> </p>

I am not a big fan of straight up pin stripping but I do agree that for the price you could have something custom done with a local painter in your area. Do some research and talk with a local painter. You may end up with a one of a kind bike that is unique to you.

First the Tribal skins are not pinstriped. I looked at them at the LasVegas show, they are paint. Second, they are NOT available
and will NOT be available because the company producing them for Vic went out of business. I know this because i paid 2000.00 for the skins for my bike and got a letter from Vic telling me the unfortunate status. However, you can most likely have them duplicated by any talented paint artist. Take the 09 catalog to your painter. There are many photos of the Tribal Skins for him/her to look at and copy.
