| sgiacci - 2010-08-09 4:18 PM BTW, I already traded in my invisable ones in for the visable ones, and the visable ones work much better. Have it your way, but if you run into any invisible wind you'll be sorry you didn't have the right ones on!

sgiacci - 2010-08-09 4:20 PM OH CRAP, brain storm just happened. How about making some pull off protectors like the ones used on race windshields, and MX goggles!!! Now that, my friend, would add oodles and oodles to the fugly factor for sure! Unless you plan on doin' some mud boggin' on your Vision that is.

My Vision is a tool and it might get cleaned every 3,000mi., and a tool like rip offs would work for me. Hell let's go one step further, how about doing it for the windshield too. As an artist I respect your work Will, but much of it isn't my taste. That's ok, you have a good group of folks who love your stuff. | |||

As an artist I respect your work Will, but much of it isn't my taste. That's ok, you have a good group of folks who love your stuff. I didn't take your comments as any sort of bashing so I don't understand the sudden tone of your post. Steven, I was simply playing and bantering with you, which seem tlike you may have mistaken for something else, so I just want to be sure you know there was nothing intended in my post to warrant that. I appreciate the respect for the work and do know I don't expect my parts to be to everyones' tastes, their needs, or their budgets for that matter. That would be impossible and I'm a realist. As a fellow artist you well understand we all have a certain style all our own or we wouldn't be considered artists in the first place, right? Do we sometimes deviate some, but that core style defines us from others. Many have sought for me to make simpler, more utilitarian items, and I'm just not into most of those types of items. As a custom item for someone, sure, but not such production parts. I prefer to let the creative juices flow and enjoy doing what I like to do. I'm sure you'll also agree that many can do common cookie cutter parts and designs and I like to think of mine as a bit more innovative in one way or another, original and fresh in design and/or artwork, and quality engrained it them from concept to completion. All I can do beyond that is hope that enough out there do like them and feel them worthy to add to their bikes. | |||

This is really moot, considering I just bought a 3rd bike (Vision), an I don't think I will have any money soon. Unless you want to trade your machine work for the rights of some of my designs (CAD). | |||

Okey Dokey then, no harm, no foul. As an Italian Type A Ex-NYer, my skin's tougher than elephant hide due to a good tanning growing up Never did the design school thing, I'm pretty much self taught, having graduated the School of Hard Knocks and then on to an advanced degree at Catatonic State. I was big into art growing up, from charcoals, to oil painting and everything in between including lots of doodling. That combined with being a highly schooled mechanic with a gear head mind, coming up with things is only limited by the imagination. If you ever want to pick back up on turning those designs into a reality let me know as my resources have expanded greatly since we last spoke about it. As for your kind words on my goods, I thank you and am glad you felt that way as coming from someone else who turns thoughts into realities it means a lot.

Just wanted to add my $.02. I originally ordered Will's lowers in order to insure that I didn't have trouble with the plastic ones since I like to use my feet to adjust them. Much to my surprise not only did they get rid of the plastic breakage potential but they look fantastic on the bike. So much so that I subsequently ordered the uppers as well. What I really like is that they kind of disappear when you look at the bike (which is black on black) from the side whereas the plastic ones stuck out like a sore thumb. Even my wife who doesn't usually notice or care about stuff like this, walked by the bike in the garage yesterday and stopped to tell me how much better it looked even though at first she didn't quite know why. Anyway, I highly recommend getting a set. Lotsa bank for the buck Marc | |||

stretch1956 - 2010-08-27 11:43 AM Will, My hat (helmet) is off to you . I got my lowers and installed them ... MAN WHAT A DIFFERENCE!!! They not only enhance the lines of the bike, they work so much better than the stock ones. I dont worry about moving them with the toe of my boot (size 17). The plastic ones seem to cringe every time my boot came close. They got so scared they actually flew off my bike on my way to sturgis. I guess Victory had a problem with a batch of 3m tape that came with them. Victory came thru and replaced them no questions asked. They didnt even want the pieces I salvaged from the highway after their flight. I was able to find all of the hardware needed to mount CycleOps' blades. I returned the factory set for a full refund and ordered my lowers from you Will. I ended up saving about $50,00 and I am stoked! They look great. I will be ordering the uppers very soon. Stretch 2009 VV tour Premium Thanks a lot Stretch, very kind of you to say all that and I'm thrilled to hear that you feel that way. There's nothing I like more than hearing my customers total satisfaction with their parts. How about some pics and show 'em off some????
