Salt Lake City | Has anyone replaced theirs? I know it's pricey, but I'd sure like to see pics if you've done it!

Pitt Meadows, BC Canada | Here is Doug Tulloch's machine - picture taken at Southwest Victory Rally this summer. My VV has the chrome behind the engine, but not the others. Doug's is CHROME everywhere! Quite nice!

Memphis | Added my own chrome strip on the saddlebag. I also have the big chrome access panel that goes below the windshield but don't put it on very often.

| I've replaced the panel beneath the windshield but I'm thinking about painting the rest of the light grey pieces gloss black. |

Central Maryland | Don't mean to be a "kill joy" or piss on anyone's parade here but...
I bought my red 2011 VV... just the way it is. To get away from the chrome (at least the extra chrome) Chromes a pain in the ass.

Broken Arrow, OK | BeeeeUteeful bikes. I've opted to leave it alone on my 2011. It's the white one and I think the chrome really shines best on the darker colored bikes. |

That video is over three years old. The sticker was removed over two years ago. I still have the stock caps on the clutch and brake cylinders because chrome ones would cause glare for the rider....black would be nice.
I have the chrome mirror accents and they SUCK. Once again causes glare for the rider.
I have the fender, rear brake and the trunk chrome (around the key cylinder) added.
I do not have the engine mount or timing belt adjuster chrome....yet.
Being an 2008 I do not have chrome forks not wheels....black would be nice.

| I have the chrome cylinder caps and never have a problem with glare although I can see where the mirror accents would be a problem. |

Dayton, OH | HDog, I met you at the Memphis Roundup this summer, gave you my card, Killa - Vision Keeper. You were suppose to call me so we could hook up when I came through Chicago. Hit me up here when you get a chance, got some more questions for you. Nice pics!! Just like I remember it.
Peace |

Quad Cities, IL | With the SSG (Super Steel Gray), I actually prefer the look of the brushed Al over the chrome for overall looks. But that's just me. I do think the chrome looks good though, just not what I want. Although, the brushed front panel is showing some effects of weathering. Nothing a frequent wiping of polish doesn't spruce up for a bit though. |
