Brighton, TN | Thank goodness, I thought I was going to have to take stock in all the tissue being used around here. I agree with Buckeye, need a few pics. Surprised, you didn't put out the call for help and go assemble it. |

Thank goodness, I thought I was going to have to take stock in all the tissue being used around here. Might still be worth investing in tissue. I agree with Buckeye, need a few pics. I'll post them as soon as I get it home.
Surprised, you didn't put out the call for help and go assemble it. I thought about it but then I figured it would probably take them longer if I'm in the way.

| Man this is an awesome bike!! Handling is terrific, much better than my 8-Ball, no more noise in the tranny than my 8-Ball either, comfortable.... like riding a Lazyboy. Fit and finish needs a little improvement, right saddlebag needs adjustment, front trim missing a screw, simple repairs. Definitely glad I purchased this bike. |

Brighton, TN | Did you adjust the saddlebag yourself or did the dealer do it. Mine is sticking and have to tug on it to get it to open. Looked at the point closest to the motor on the saddle bag door and found that it was hanging against the bottom panel. Need to look and see if it can be adjusted. |

| I couldn' t see where it was hanging, the latch appeared to be sticking, sprayed a little silicone lube on the latch, messed with it a bit and it started working. There really doesn't seem to be much in the way of adjustability.

| Thanks......
while at the dealer yesterday I found out why my bike had been sitting in the back of the truck in Lathrop for the last week, the driver went through a safety checkpoint and apparently there was a brake issue on the truck and the idiot was driving on a suspended license, the trucking outfit had to send another truck, transfer the load and finish the route. |

Brighton, TN | tralphaz, congrats on that purty new bike you got there.
I did happen to glance up and see you are wearing a cool shirt to go along with one awesomely cool bike. I haven't even seen one of those yet. I am in the process of trying to get my wife to embroider me something on a shirt so I can flash a little owner bling. |

They handed these shirts out at the test rides. |

Brighton, TN | Buckeye, just so you know I have officially turned over 1000 miles yesterday morning. Today should put me somewhere around 1200. You might as well go out and ride the OLD Hog just to get an old fix. |

| Just got a call from my dealer and they got a Vision in with a name stuck on it but they can't tell if it's Bugeye or Buckeye. They don' know anyone by those names and wanted to know if I wanted it?
Sorry, couldn't resist.  I am sure you will be very happy when your does arrive and the best of luck with it.
Thanks to the others that have received theirs so we know what to look for before leaving the shop. Okay, I took it for a test ride but there is a screw missing here and the saddlebags don't feel just right. Can you take care of these before I leave? ) |

| It turns out that there was no screw missing, the panel just wasn't snapped down all the way. Right saddlebag is sticking again, I'll figure it out eventually....... At least it doesn't take away from the awesome ride experience. |

So Cal | Finally got a straight answer from the dealer. Its not the building of the bikes that are causing a problem its the shipping thats causing the delay. Polaris has pushed back all deliveries a week. Estimated shipping date for mine Oct. 19. Turns out Polaris was overwhelmed by orders on all its product lines. Seriously considering cancelling if its not here by the end of the month. Try again next year when things are mor organized |

Brighton, TN | cjnoho, Why would you consider even bailing out yet, I have heard every bullhockey line from any salesman, dealer, etc. Most of the time the people won't even check to see if it is being shipped and they will give you every kind of bull line just to put the blame on somebody hoping you don't take it out on them. I have ordered vehicles from GM. Gotten build dates and ship dates and invariably they always seem to change or move. It is a rarity to get anyone to actually make a call and get a real answer. Could be that the shipping company is unable to get the vehicles delivered quick enough. I was at the dealer and they were closing, received a call that the trucker was right down the road at Bumpus Harley-Davidson and would be right there. Two hours later trucker still hasn't showed up. They finally go over, and the truck is just then pulling away. These are guys who would have rather been home than waiting on a truck three hours after closing. I doubt that the story you are getting is anywhere close to accurate. I know of a silver premium street sitting on a showroom floor right now. Supposedly another about to be delivered. Go figure.
