Posts: 20 Oregon | Well tomorrow is the day I pickup my Vision from the dealer. It arrived at the dealer the day before yesterday, they installed all the accessories today, and I pickup tomorrow. Perfect timing too as its not supposed to rain or snow tomorrow so I WILL be riding her home (and probably other places as well :-) |

Posts: 354 20 miles west of Chicago. | May as well get in line. Took a check up to my dealer today through 40 miles of cold heavy fog. The bike was sitting there with the accessories installed. He was going to deliver it tomorrow, but it must have been slow at the shop because he had one of the guys bring it over this afternoon. He drove through the foggy Friday-before-Chrismas rush hour traffic and put it right in my garage. Nice to have a good dealer to do business with. The Vision looks huge next to the Kinpin, though it's not actually that much bigger. Anyway, called and got it added to the insurance, now hoping for a decent day or two to try it out. |

Posts: 20 Oregon | I picked up the Vision today. I didn't get out of the dealer until after dark. It was 45 in Portland when I left but as soon as I got out in the Gorge it was down to 37. I kicked on the heated grips and seat and man what a difference. I actually stayed pretty comfortable, even at 37 degrees.
I did find a scratched spot on the trunk, and one up by the fuel door when I did the visual inspection. The dealer said they would take care of it at the 500 mile service, and I refused to check the "visual inspection performed and satisfied" check box. The dealer didn't install the audio cable for the GPS (this I didn't notice until I got home) and I found the cable in the trunk. Has anyone hooked up this cable themselves, and if you have, can you tell me how you connected it? When i got home I installed the trunk mirror for my wife, and all I have left to do (besides the GPS audio cable) is install the cargo netting. The 60 mile ride home was throrougly enjoyabe :-)
I am having difficulties finding my sd card reader, as soon as I do I will post some pics. |

Has anyone hooked up this cable themselves, and if you have, can you tell me how you connected it? Look in the opening beside the right handlebar, just forward of the gas tank cover. There is a main wire harness with a short wire coming out of it. The short wire has a bulb-shaped rubbery black cover on it. Take off the disposable cover and plug your GPS cable into it. Enjoy. |
