LaPorte,Tx. | I've had my Vision now for a little over two years. And as most of you have a test to the bike, It's been a great two years. Mine is a Vision Tour Premium, so my question, if you had the $, what would the second Vision in your garage be like. Just to kick it off, here is what I would do, what would you do.
1. Find a used standard Vision Street...doesn't make any difference what color, just so it is cheap.
2. Have someone cut the seat pan down and make is single seat bike, leather cover, also 2" lower.
3. Fabricate a cover for the missing seat pan area.
4. Take off the rear grab rails.
5. Remove the exhaust system and install a 2-1 with no heat shields, wrap the pipes. I want a long muffler that sticks out past the rear of the bike, ~ 6", with a small vertical fin on the muffler, it will be a hp muffler not loud.
6. No rear tip over or passenger boards.
7. Remove cruise control
8. Remove radio
9. Remove front TOP
10. Install blade windshield.
11. Rebuild the front forks with high performance progressive springs.
12. Install and under drive sprocket.
13. Install a 180/70R16 rear tire.
14. Install light weight wheels, get the front wheel reduced to 17"...maybe a 16".
15. Remove anything that is not need that adds weight. I mean anything, get the bike as low in weight at possible. Try to get it to 750 lbs.
16. Upgrade the brakes.
16. Repaint, fast color.
17. Have Lloydz redo the motor and drive to handle 114 cu. in., looking for 130+ hp.
18. Nitrous bottle. HP???

Litchfield Park, AZ | In your case you would probably want to start with a Vision 8-ball......somebody will buy one and put it back up for resale within 3 months....it ALWAYS happens.
As for me, my second Vision would look a lot like a Cross Country.

New Bohemia, VA | I've always like the single seater Vision, making it the ultimate ride. Keeping it within the tradition of the Vision, it would convertible back to the tour or street at any time. |

Richmond, Virginia | Id be the only one smart here and keep what i owned, and put the money towards something more meaningful, less material, and be happy with what I had because afterall, I ALREADY OWN THE BEST, to own Two of them is just being a greedy bastard and forcing someone else in the country who dreams of one, to go without because I took their bike ha ha ha ha ha ha.
Seriously, Ive done all i can do to this bike, its now perfect. It costs more now then what I paid for it. Now I just get to enjoy what i worked my tail off to afford to buy. Lets not be more poor examples of overspending materialistic, greedy Americans. Just buy more chrome ha ha ha ha |
