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

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.

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?

So does this mean you are going to have black valve covers ready when I come out to do cams????

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.

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.

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