Elk Grove, CA | I just purchased an Imperial Blue 2012 Vision Tour yesterday.
I Love it!
I plan to learn all I can from the site about the bike.
One thing i'm looking for are links to places to buy Accessories.

Kansas City, MO | Welcome to the bike, site, community, et all 
She looks great! As a new owner myself I can promise this bike will continue to impress you. Congrats on your purchase!
As far as accessories... I've mainly used the forums and Google. I'm finding out that I am a lot choosier on customizing this bike than previous rides. I guess it's tougher to do since the bike already has freakin' everything!
That said, here are links for some of the things I've added:
- Victory Luggage Rack
- Victory Saddle Bag inserts
- Victory Trunk Mirror and Carpeting
- Many other Victory Branded Shiny goodies
all from Amazon.com
- Clearwater "Glenda" Driving lights from http://clearwaterlights.com/
- Carbon Fiber Vinyl wrapped the center console: www.carbonfiberfilm.com
- Trailer Hitch from www.hitchdoc.com
- Assorted Riding and Heated gear from http://www.motorcyclecloseouts.com
It may not be much of list yet, but I'm still getting started. |

| Good for you.
Buy a camera and if you work on your bike document it with photos you just never know who you could help or have just plain fun looking back at what you did. I have a good 80 photos and they do come in handy. |

Now that you have your Vision make her your own. There are some really good people out there making some really nice accessories.
Ride safe. |

Tifton, GA | Welcome to the most satisfied group of owners you will ever meet. The Vision ride is fantastic. You will get more coments from non-bikers than any bike you have ever owned. There are several accessories made and sold by members that work well. I have the Sequencing Signal Mod at www.Vision-Mod.com from and rear. I did the Thrush muffler mod, and Arlen Ness Twin Sucker kit, and Victory Stage 1 upgrade it really increased the power. The larger brake pedal on the site feels much better than the stock peg to me. You are going to have such a GREAT NEW YEAR!

Tri Cities, WA | congrats on the new ride. We have enjoyed ours very much and for many years. Some have already gone over the 100K mark with little or no problems. Tons of sites for accessories for our rides. witchdoctors.com, HMD520.com, customdynmaics.com, and many many more. All of them good. If you check youtube our very own radioteacher is on there teaching and showing you easy to do mods on your vision
. Good luck... |

Oregon. | That is one great looking bike. Enjoy it, and to echo others, plan on extra time at gas stops and rest stops. The conversation that crops up in those spots are always interesting. |

Stockton, California | Richard,
Very nice bike. You are right in my neck of the woods. I am in Stockton. Did you buy from California Custom trailers in Elk Grove? They are the newest dealership in Sacramento. The dealership in Lathrop (Delta PowerSports) just closed but other dealers in the surrounding area are Vallejo PowerSports, Santa Rosa Vee Twin as well as Arlen Ness in Dublin. And I just heard that Tracy Motorsports will now be carrying the Victory brand. I have not yet dealt with these other dealers for parts or service yet as I used to go to Delta PowerSports. I have dealt with Tracy Motorsports on my past bike and they were good. Look forward to talking with you and hope to see you on the road.

Elk Grove, CA | I did get it in Elk Grove. I was recently at the Lathrop dealer, and there was no clue they were closing, however I was the only non-employee in the store at the time. Still, I'm a little shocked. |

Elk Grove, CA | After riding the Vision for a few hundred miles, getting back on my Honda VTX1800 felt a little awkward. I realized that the Honda is a more physically demanding ride (I'm selling it). |

| Congrats - beautiful bike and a great choice.
I am 10 minutes from the Ness Dublin store - if you have occassion to stop in there you will find all of them to be very helpful and supportive. As an added
bonus Arlen is often there - great guy - down to earth - a font of knowledge [of course] about bikes.
As mentioned above - if your in the east bay let me know and we can perhaps do a small group 'ride' |
