Posts: 320 Savannah, GA -Year round riding!! Yay! | I had my Vision pinstriped yesterday by "Wild Bill" Ward from Lenoir, NC. He travels all around the country, does card, trucks, tractor, motorcycles. He said my ViVi was the first one he's done. 


He does all freehand work. It's amazing to watch...

Posts: 320 Savannah, GA -Year round riding!! Yay! | Thanks guys! Ya know, my other bikes, I had to add things to make them comfortable, or give them more umph to make them my own. All I could think of adding to this bike was pin striping! (Still waiting on the CB and GPS mount. Then, my work here is complete...) |

Posts: 320 Savannah, GA -Year round riding!! Yay! | He was very eager to do a Vi Vi to have in his portfolio, so he said he'd give me a good deal. All depending on how much you wanted to do (I wanted to be understated-"less is more" ), and what part of the country you are in, look in the $300-500 neighborhood. Here is the front fender (it was hard to get a close up with the camera I was using) |

Posts: 1324 So Cal | I painted the panel below the windshield black. Turned out pretty good. I thought about powdercoat but I didnt want to cook the radio antenna. The wait for the bike was too long, I dont think I could take waiting for an antenna. I will post pics as soon as my wife remembers what she did with the camera. |

Posts: 320 Savannah, GA -Year round riding!! Yay! | cjnoho - I will post pics as soon as my wife remembers what she did with the camera. Bwahahaha!!! I would love to see pics of that. I was walking across the parking lot today, straight toward my ViVi. The sight of that grey front panel made me think "Man, that needs to be black!!!" Thanks for the compliments guys! I appreciate it. The one downfall of this bike I have found? The ability to go anywhere incognito. The other day, I was riding home from work, Nort hWest, towards that line of storms heading East that made all those tornadoes and terrible thunderstorms out West. As I headed out, the sky was dark, it was windy. I work about 30 miles from home. I got my leather jacket on, and hoped for the best. At about the halfway point, it started to rain lightly, so I pulled into a gas station to throw on my rain gear. I get back on my bike andstart to pull of into the storm. On my way out of the parking lot, a truck driver pulls into the parking lot, RACES out of his truck and runs in front of my and stops. His eyes get big and he goes "Oh, Wow! What is that bike? Is that one of those new Visions? I've been dying to see one in person. How big is the engine? Do you love it? What are those lights? Wow, you don't see anything like that too often..." etc. I finally had to rev my engine, point to the approaching blackness and say "I usually love to talk about my bike, and I'll give you a full tour of it. But, tonight I am racing that" (pointing at the black cloud that is now clearly moving into my route, rather quickly, might I add...) "home, and I still have just over 15 miles to go. Thank you for you kind words!!" I waved and roared off into the storm. I guess I find I generally have to plan an extra 10-20 mins. travel time to anywhere I go with the ViVi. Not that the bike is slow, it's the "Ooooh! Ahhhhh!" time!!  |

Posts: 1324 So Cal | With the silver panel, drivers would look in their rearview mirror and think I was a cop, which would immediately slow traffic in front of me. Going slower takes all the fun out of riding the Vision. I have had a few actually pull over to let me by. Some black paint, problem solved. |
