Stockton, Ca. | Hello all, I thought you may enjoy some pix from Arlen Ness in Dublin Ca. There are a few pictures of some custom Visions as well as several of his museum bikes. They did some cool modifications with black chrome on one. Another one has black powder coated panels. I have more museum pix if there is an interest I will post the rest.
The pictures are posted in the Gallery under Okthenbye...
Enjoy |

| A guy I work with knows I'm a big Victory fan. He also knows I have a Vision. He mentioned that Ness built a custom bike called "finesse" or some similar name a while back. He basically said the Vision was based on a custom Ness built. Does anyone have info on this? |

Stockton, Ca. | I don't know about a Ness build being the basis for the Vision but I know he was a consultant in the project. Many of his designs reflect the flavor of the Vision. |

GAgirlTrixie,
I visited Arlen's shop in Dublin three months ago and got to sit on Arlen's Vision. I am glad I remembered the camera. To see the picture follow the link.

San Antonio, TX | The heads on Arlen's Vision were also Diamond Cut. It is hard to see in the pictures. |
