I have a full cover but am looking for a cover from the passenger seat to the windshield. I will be doing a 2-3 week trip and would like to cover up the seats, GPS, etc. while at lunch, etc. I had one for my Harley Ultra Classic but it won't work. Anyone have anything similar and if so make, etc.

Polais sells a nice half cover, its about $100. Other than that check the Dowco web site not sure if they have a half cover for a vision

I would go with the half cover Polaris makes. It will fit like a glove. I bought an after market full cover that was nice. However it never fit properly....the rain water would collect on the seat. I got the half cover for x-mas but haven't used it yet. It packs nice and I'm sure it will fit like a glove like the full cover does.

I have Tour King half covers for my bikes, about $40.00 plus shipping.

I have the Victory half cover and it works great. I have not tried it since I have taken my trunk off.

I use the Nelson Rigg Half cover (Size XL)...It's waterproof, UV resistant...When I leave my Vision out in the sun during the summer at work. I get on it and the seat is amazingly cool....Best purchase I have made for summer comfort...other than the lowers for engine heat that is

Question to RCS and Joe Schmoe:

Does the Tour King and Nelson Rigg go from the windshield all the way to the tour pack. My old Ultra Classic 1/2 cover was not near big enough and did not work.

Thanks.

The Nelson Rigg covers everything front to rear....I had to cut a small hole in mine for the antenna, Preacher Man doesn't have a CB so his fits on with no modifications...I've had a Nelson Rigg cover for 4 1/2 yrs (on my HD before the Vision) great purchase and durable...Comes with it's own fanny pack to store the cover in when not in use.

Ok I have to chime in here. I had to put preacher mans back on a couple of weeks ago when the wind blew it loose in the parking lot here at work. I have never had that problem with the Vic half cover. I did however let my first one touch the exhaust pipe coming out of the back head. Bad news. But there is a trick to putting it on when hot which I have mastered now. The vic cover looks good on and when tightened up you cannot see the dash or the seats. Go with the vic cover.

Quit holding out on us Candyman, what's the trick????? The only trick I had was to sip a few adult beverages and smoke a premium seegar. ;-)

Only reason Preacher mans came off was he didn't use the floorboard straps...Mine has NEVER blown off in any kind of wind or thunderstorm for that matter, just got to use the straps to keep it on in 30 + MPH winds....

The Tour King model I have covers from the nose/windshield back to my passenger backrest & luggage rack...I do not have a tour pack mounted on my Vision.
