New Bohemia, Va | Between you and don-e you both got it right on. I feel the bag sizes are perfect and need not any change. Using the liner helps tremendously and are very handy as well. For the wife and I, I believe we max out the GWR and need to go with a trailer before we take out on an overnighter. Though I believe she could pack an overnighter I could put on the trunk rack that would rival golfer's cargo. The only problem would be is the headlight wouldn't adjust low enough. I'm glad she doesn't frequent this forum. |

Alberta, Canada | I find that with the optional carry bags designed for the saddlebags one can pack quite a bit if you use some creativity!! I knew the saddle bag size before I bought the bike as you all did and now you have the option to buy the Cross Country or Roads that has the biggest saddlebag capacity on the road!! I have traveled two up all through the States and Canada with no issues! We send all our souvenirs home through a Pack and Parcel outlet! Happy packing!! |

Fountain Inn, SC United States | My sources say there will be a "new model" unveiled at the dealer meeting but are very tight lipped about any specifics.
I remember having a conversation with a Vic engineer last summer in which they mentioned that the current vision bags could be redesigned on the INSIDE to give more room while keeping the outside the same. When the Vision was first developed, the interior room was larger but they had to be modified to keep structural strength and accommodate a larger hinge assembly (see my article What They Left on the Drawing Board). |

New York State | I noticed on a 2011 Vision there were no shocks on the saddle bag doors. I like how mine slowly open.
I think the dark blue matel flake on the CC would be a good Vision color. |

Better Yellow than Kawasaki green!
But a Dark Green with gold metalic flakes would be sweet! |

Bullhead City, AZ | The first time I took the wife on a trip on the Kingpin tour she had the top case full, the left saddle bag full and was asking me where the rest of her stuff was supposed to go(day trip). It was at that point that I explained she had one side for her stuff and any room that I did not use in the othe side, but the top was for helmets and riding gear. Packing has not been a problem since, the VV side bags are bigger than they look. I think they were made smaller on purpose because the engineers knew that you don't have to bring as many tools with. I am surprised how much stuff we still take.
Color: I vote for boardwalk blue and pearl white |
