| I thought I would post some pics of my newest project. I bought a '10 Vision Premium and had the dealer swap all the parts except the valve covers and handlebars for those from a '10 Vision 8 Ball. All the running gear is unchanged as is the suspension and seat. It's kind of like an 8 Ball Premium if there was such a thing  Marc

| Thanks! The wheels are just the stock wheels that come on the 8 Ball. Besides not being as flashy as the billet ones that come on the Premium they are also quite a bit lighter. Marc

Lakehills, Texas | Now that looks SHARP! Sounds like a great dealer to work with, did they just add a flat fee or did they cost it out per part! |

| Believe it or not, he didn't charge me anything! He had a guy interested in an 8 Ball with all the extra stuff on it including the wheels so he killed two birds with one stone and sold two bikes Smart guy!

| Not to steal your thread but I think this would be a great option for Victory to sell more bikes. Make a Tour Premium available with all 8 Ball black parts + a surcharge for it from the factory. Many years ago you could buy a car with whatever accessories the manufacturer sold on that make of vehicle.
Now they need stock black pipes.
Tour Premium with 8 Ball package plus $1000. How many would they sell? |

| Exactly! I said the same thing to the dealer. An 8 Ball Premium. I think there's plenty of potential buyers out there who would like a Vision but maybe one a bit more conservative looking. It'd be a no-brainer for the factory since all the parts are on the shelf already.

Des Moines | Bike looks great! Question, though. What is the knob at the bottom of the console for? |

| In the same picture you'll notice a round cover down by the seat. The cover is over a Powerlet socket for my Gerbings heated jacket and the knob is part of the Heat Troller that regulates it. Right below the Powerlet is a tiny button which operates my garage door opener.

Des Moines | Ah, cool! Integrated the controls right in to the console. Nice. |
