| Probably just a typo, there is a difference in the frame from the '08s to the newer Visions. |

Just wondering. I'm not paying $1,500 for reverse, when I can park with the nose uphill every time. Maybe there is some way to retrofit it. The wrench at my dealer thinks he can mod a 2008 to accomodate a reverse kit. Don't know and not going to find out. |

Houston, TX | I spoke with the owner of a dealership outside of Houston who thought he could make it work also. |

Pitt Meadows, BC Canada | Parking the Vision where I have to back it out is part of my exercise routine. And all that straining helps my digestive tract - keeps me regular. So - no dang power-reverse for me - until maybe I'm ninety.... |

| You can make ANYTHING work with enough finess, but it isn't made to fit so you'd have your work cut out for you. If I recall someone mentioned making a bracket that would allow them to fit it on an 08 but they decided against. |

Jacksonville Florida | Even if you could engineer a bracket you would probably have to change the wiring harness because there are 7 interlocks in the 09 harness for the reverse motor. At least that's what the Victory Engineer told us at the Victory R&D Center. |

| Guys, I was pursuing this very same question back in Dec/Jan - 08/09 when I purchased my 2008 Vision. I looked into everything imaginable back then and finally placed it on the back burner. I'll try to locate the threads. If someone knows if it can actually be done I would be willing to pay some extra $$. I am glad to see a revival in this possibility since there have been plenty of times I would have given just about anything to have had this option available. I was told by my dealer back then that the reverse WOULD FIT THE '08's. I even copied & pasted this same fitment profile from "Pure Polaris" which has had the 2008 models listed since at least last Jan. Please let me know what yall discover!!

Illinois | It is my understanding that the fitment in "Pure Polaris" is a misprint and it will not work in the 2008 models for space and wiring requirements. I too was hoping it could be done.... |

Northeast Ohio | Kind of odd that I don't remember the 08s being listed before. Now they add the 2010s and our beloved 08 Vision is in there. I wish I knew what the old part number was (assuming it isn't the same now). |

| I'm riding a 2008 Premium Tour and whenever asked if it has reverse I answer "yup, two, one on each side and not only that but when my wife sits on the back the passenger enjoys voice activated controls too". |
