VisionNWRider - 2010-07-02 1:01 PM As soon as my stock lowers break then i will order a black set from Cycle ops

We'll have 'em here waiting, but how about going one better and still getting them before yours break? Try this... sell your existing ones now, while they are still good to someone looking to replace one or both. They'd even sell individually soon enough. You'll always find takers looking for a replacement for say $25-50 a panel, but once they break they're worthless. Just a thought to help you max out your hard earned buck.

And Rick, thank you for the good review, hope you enjoy them. Can't wait to see the lowers on too!

Hey there Vinner,

Contact me for the coupon code and save 10%. When you see the top grade quality of the chrome you'll see why the price is what it is.

Hey Chuck, that was one of my rvery are bouts of brilliance that come along only so often and normally when I least expect it.    You've got a PM with the discount code Sir, and I do have them in stock. Thanks in advance.

 VisionNWRider - 2010-07-05 5:11 PM You know CycleOps you have a damn good idea to take them off now and sell them and buy yours. I think I will do that. So look for my order very soon for black one's to WA state.. Also whats the code for the 10% discount for us forum users again? I have heard of nothing but good things about you guys so i may need to get a T-shirt too from you all. CycleOps USA - 2010-07-03 3:54 PM

bakfixr - 2010-07-05 7:39 PM I already have both the upper and lowers in black and I must say, wow what a difference!! What other products are in development???

Glad you're pleased with your deflectors Mark, and we appreciate your business. As for new goodies for the Visions we're coming out with versions of our Vision Retro and Winged V trunk racks (if you haven't seen them yet go to: http://www.cycleopsusa.com/custombillet.html#vr) for the Vision passenger backrests, as well as 5/16" mirror polished solid Stainless Steel billet flag staffs for our racks. If you haven't browsed our entire site yet please do so and you'll find many other items for the Vision already there. 

Hey Will,
You know what would really help would be if you put an additional 3/16" or slightly larger hole in your lower to give us access to the adjusting screw. That way we could adjust them without having to take them off first. The way it is now it's a guess each time. If we could adjust the screw tension with the lowers still on it would be more accurate and quicker.

Do it and I'll buy a black set asap. I don't want to drill the plastic ones since they aren't very strong in that area anyway.

Marc

Eric, I have a reasonable source for you for the OEM kit complete with the hinges for aboutï what I could offer them for, if not less. You have a PM.

Marc, You've got a PM too.

And Mac, they came out AWESOME! That look is simply friggin' fantastic! More pics! Did you do anything on the lowers too?

VaParadox - 2010-08-08 6:42 PM Once I had the limited edition paint scheme on the bike, I noticed that right where the uppers hang is the spot that has the most intricate paint job on the side of the fairing. With the uppers flush with the body, it disrupts the flow of the design, so as you know, I ordered a set of uppers and lowers pre prepped for paint, then took them to my paint guy. We placed the uppers in position and marked the design right onto them for matching scheme so when the uppers are flush the look is cohesive. When they are open, it looks like lightning bolt flaring out of the side of the bike. We considered doing something on the lowers but decided that keeping them black and sealed would look better then "over blinging" the bike. I will post some more photos, but Im very happy on two levels. 1. Your lowers and uppers will never cause me to cuss again because they wont crack or chip. 2. I have a bike that is truly one of a kind.

Mac, if you're happy, I'm happy, and I agree fully on both points.

ScoreBo - 2010-08-09 3:09 PM How well does the SSG match? Anyone?

I actually just switched out the SSG to a new powder blend and the match is pretty darn good. The primary difference in paint and powder coat is the gloss of clear coated paint being deeper than a powder coated finish. Other than that, it's as close as it can be.

Here's a few pics of the first part to hit the streets in the new SSG mated powder coat, plus a few mounted up. What do you think?

sgiacci - 2010-08-09 3:53 PM It isn't often that I agree with the manufacturers design method, but in this case I do. The clear deflectors don't take away from the bikes lines, but these painted ones (or chrome) make a different set of lines. I just wish you could make us a set of transparent aluminum ones.

Give them just enough time to yellow and/or get marred up by road boogies. Then they simply look  n a s t y !

As for clear aluminum, I'm working on that one now. So far the only thing I came up with were invisible ones. Send me your info and I'll bill you out for a set that you'll never see!

sgiacci - 2010-08-09 4:20 PM OH CRAP, brain storm just happened. How about making some pull off protectors like the ones used on race windshields, and MX goggles!!!

Now that, my friend, would add oodles and oodles to the fugly factor for sure! Unless you plan on doin' some mud boggin' on your Vision that is.

Just wanted to add my $.02. I originally ordered Will's lowers in order to insure that I didn't have trouble with the plastic ones since I like to use my feet to adjust them. Much to my surprise not only did they get rid of the plastic breakage potential but they look fantastic on the bike. So much so that I subsequently ordered the uppers as well. What I really like is that they kind of disappear when you look at the bike (which is black on black) from the side whereas the plastic ones stuck out like a sore thumb. Even my wife who doesn't usually notice or care about stuff like this, walked by the bike in the garage yesterday and stopped to tell me how much better it looked even though at first she didn't quite know why.

Anyway, I highly recommend getting a set. Lotsa bank for the buck

Marc

Marc, I thiank you a ton for the kind words, it's been a pleasure meeting you and doing business you, so do know it's all been greatly appreciated.

And Chris, from my understanding those handles are plastic, ABS, or similar, right? I though Mac (VaParadox) already offered those in chrome? If he's not using the regular triple chrome (copper/nickel/chromium) I do have a guy who works in conjunction with my regular chromer to do regular chrome on plastic if you want it. As for powder coating, for obvious reasons that wouldn't work on anything non-metallic.

Gotcha. They're pretty long and with the thickness will require quite a good sized chunk of material, and a lot of machining time to do them, so I'm not sure they'll fall into an acceptable price range with all that involved.

Casting them in a mold is a different story, but also with a big initial set up cost initially to make the molds for metal as they'd have to be made of steel to handle the melting of aluminum.

Something fabricated in a different way though may work out cheaper. Like possibly cutting them out with the waterjet, but then doing the final shaping by hand (which is still somewhat labor intensive and time consuming), and then drilling and tapping to add the mounting studs.

If I knew there was going to be a big enough market I'd consider looking into it further.  

stretch1956 - 2010-08-27 11:43 AM Will, My hat (helmet) is off to you . I got my lowers and installed them ... MAN WHAT A DIFFERENCE!!! They not only enhance the lines of the bike, they work so much better than the stock ones. I dont worry about moving them with the toe of my boot (size 17). The plastic ones seem to cringe every time my boot came close. They got so scared they actually flew off my bike on my way to sturgis. I guess Victory had a problem with a batch of 3m tape that came with them. Victory came thru and replaced them no questions asked. They didnt even want the pieces I salvaged from the highway after their flight. I was able to find all of the hardware needed to mount CycleOps' blades. I returned the factory set for a full refund and ordered my lowers from you Will. I ended up saving about $50,00 and I am stoked! They look great. I will be ordering the uppers very soon.

Thanks a lot Stretch, very kind of you to say all that and I'm thrilled to hear that you feel that way. There's nothing I like more than hearing my customers total satisfaction with their parts. How about some pics and show 'em off some????
