, FL United States | While driving North on I-65 from Nashville I saw 2 Visions!!!!
1st was Southbound aprx 60 miles South of Louisville around 10:30 AM CDT. A Black one and he was really movin'.
2nd was also Southbound aprx 45 miles South of Circle City (aka Indian-noplace). A White and Silver one and he wasn't in reverse either LOL.
Will be passin' through Shaky Town (aka The Windy City) and Beer City (also the home of "the motor company") on my way up to Elkhart Lake, Wi to visit and ride with my buddy Rick and his wife Sharon (KingPin riders). Will probably tear the Vis down to have some powder coating/painting done. My Vis will definitely look different than it does now.
Depending on the cost of the powder coating/paint I would LIKE to : do all 7 silver pieces Black, have the heat shields done Black and anything else I see (if I can afford it).
Her new name will be Black Cherry.

Brighton, TN | Cool, sounds good. I like the idea. I wanna grow up and be like you one day. I drive to work just about every day and have a 1000 less miles than you and all of yours are NOT going to work. ENJOY!
Did you ask your fine steed if you could rename her? She may not approve without appropriate sweet nothings! |

| I've been thinking about doing the silver pieces in black also although I'll leave the chrome alone. |

, FL United States | Well, we (my buddy Rick and I) finally have her back together! She is glad that she actually has a REAL name now - Black Cherry. I'll post some pics as soon as I can get her out in the sun light.
We dis-assembled her Tuesday and sent the parts off to our friendly powder-coater Jaimie. We got the last of the BLACK pieces back today and re-assembled.
A list of what I decided to change and to what sort of coating:
Access panel (under the windshield),the 2-piece front "grill",and upper and lower wind deflectors,front pulley cover - done in Black Metalflake
The 2 panels in front of and the 2 panels behind the motor - wrinkle finish powdercoating (to match the front and rear tip-overs and handlebars)
All the heat shields of the exhaust - flat Black ceramic coating
The "M" panel at the very rear of the bike [below the tail-light "V"] - rattle-can Black metallic paint (which matches the Black Metalflke surprisingly well)
I really can't say exactly how much it cost to do all this because it was done by the friend of a friend who runs a powder coating facility and puts through "odd pieces" from time to time for special folks (like ME).
