Tucker, Ga. | You may even be able to have Jeff drill both sets of holes so you have options, in case the new holes are now too close. Just rambling!

Richmond, Virginia | Answer for Diveshark
I believe the design of the top portion was not meant for your ankles as yeah it would cut off circulation. The purpose is actually to put
the heel of your boot in the cup top. AHHHH makes sense to you all now doesnt it .......
With regard to your foot slipping, no it doesnt happen mostly because your heel would still remain on the running board. They are not adjustable, but in all honesty, they platform is so large that it makes it suitable for so many various foot/leg positions, that you wouldnt
really need any adjustment of it regardless of your leg length or height. I will tell you that by simply rotating both of my boots outward so the toe of my boot is resting on the Vpeg and the heel is still on the floorboard, you will feel NO engine heat if you have a set of the lowers installed and open properly. Thats one of the best things about these Vpegs no engine heat. Hey guys, any other questions just ask me. |

Richmond, Virginia | Couple of things
1. AngelChaz, your chrome cones are still drying.
2. My dealer as of a phone call just a while ago is going to carry them.
3. I also have a couple people in the Virginia area who have emailed me to come look at them on my bike and sit on it to see
how they fit before they order a pair. Those of us on here who already own them, we might make that offer to others
in our areas who are interested in them but cannot see an actual pair. So anyone who has them installed and is willing to
let others check them out on their bikes, please post your city state location . I seriously doubt that anyone who
orders them would ever consider sending them back based on their quality or their usefulness, its one of the rare products
that I feel deserves a total 100% A+. but what do i know, im chroming some nut cases orange street cones....... |

Tucker, Ga. | Oh VaParadox, why must u take shots on your way out the door? Do I need to tell everyone about your poster? 
Well, my posts list my city & state. I am in the Atlanta area.
I too will see if my dealer in Cummings, Georgia would be interested in carrying them. |

New Bohemia, VA | I like the pegs as well as the V-thingie, they look nice on the bike. I can't bring myself to get them because all I did was gripe at myself as to the spreadeagle stance I had on my Wing rolling down the highway.
What I'm looking for is something that will elevate my toe some toward the forward part of the board or at the tip over so I don't spread eagle and ride in a stance I'm comfortable with for the long distance. I'm working in my mind to get something fabricated to suit my need and will pass along when I get to it, but I hope it is soon as I need that lift when I strecth my legs out.
Even with this thought, I'm still way more comfortable on my Vision than riding in the car. That would explain one reason I ride all the time. It really has been therapy for my knees and hips. Plus when I was younger I used to like to ride with my head out the car window, but would yelled at because something might come along and chop it off. This way, my heads out in the wind all the time.... |

Tucker, Ga. | I think you would love these V Pegs! They don't spread your legs out as much as others & they are elevated quite a bit. What I like to do is place the my heel on the floorboard sometimes near the edge, sometimes not & the balls of my feet/toes up on the V Pegs and it is very comfortable. |

New Bohemia, VA | I might have to come to Tucker to check it out, as the guy that has them here in the area, (VaParodox) rarely, if ever rides his to work and would be afraid I would muss his bike anyways.  You seem like the kind that wouldn't mind if a fellow vision rider sat in the pilot seat.

Tucker, Ga. | yeah, that's my pal & his cow!
Well, the complex I live in doesn't have reserved parking but they let me put those cones there so no one takes my spot. Obviously it's not full proof but so far it's worked out & they are attached to the pavement with 8" spikes. I'm on my own when I take the truck out but that's ok as long as I can keep the Vic right outside my door. |

New Bohemia, VA | The Vision never look its best except when it is running down the highway.
This is not a vanity thing, but I want someone to ride beside me taking video and pictures of my machine in motion. I'd like to find a good scenic route where there is two lanes and the opportunity to ride beside taking the video. I'd hate to think that as much as this ride is a part of my life that I would have nothing to show for except used oil and worn out tires... |

Newberry, Mi. | Nice pegs but I gotta shake my head every time I see someone wearing shorts on a bike. |

Tucker, Ga. | Understood. That's my bike but not me on it. Wearing shorts may not be the best idea but I seriously doubt the inventors of the motorcycle ever envisioned a day where you had to wear a helmet & so much clothing that the point of riding the bike was eventually lost. Now, to be fair, they also may have never envisioned a bike doing over 100 mph. Everybody knows what's gonna happen if you get into an accident or even lay a bike down with no helmet & limited clothing but that doesn't necessarily mean one shouldn't do it. I wear a helmet, primarily because my state says I must, & I don't where shorts, mainly because that heat is a Ma F***a, but at some point the spirit of their intent is washed away. So if you wanna wear shorts and feel the the wind on your legs and live in a state (which is actually most) that doesn't require a helmet & want to feel the wind flow through your hair & all that happy horseshit then have at it. Those people may not be smarter for doing so but may be more of a purist. Again, lectures on what could happen to you are redundant & all too clear. |

Richmond, Virginia | Im waaaayyyy past the shorts and shoes in the pic, i had to enroll in a 12 step program just to get over the fact that you
LET SOMEONE ELSE DRIVE YOUR BIKE !!!! Id rather give someone a nut before i did that, (but id have to REALLY like them to give one of those away too) The only person i let drive my bike is my dealer when he comes to the house hits the code on the garage door and takes my bike out either to their shop for something or he wants to take it to a show. I dont even give it a second thought.
anyone else, id probably do something stupid like have to follow them in the car, or drink till i passed out and couldnt think of it LOL |

Nebraska | I got them on. I had to drill holes. Some of the early floor boards must not be pre drilled. Kind of a pain but well worth it. the positioning is near perfect. thanx. |

Tucker, Ga. | Wow! what year is your Victory? That's actually pretty sweet! Because of that you had the ability within reason to put them where you want! Which means you could have put them further back towards the rear of the floorboards if you wanted. They are pretty sweet! The bike already looks like it could fly. When it goes down the road it looks more like a hover craft or a Dalorian(sp?) |
