New York State | The passenger backrest luggage rack Ma Vic discontinued would be a nice option.
Do not know if this could be done but Handel bars that are adjustable would be cool.
The ability to push the hand position forward when two up and closer when solo

Rhode Island | The thing I would buy for the Vision is a dash bag/organizer; want a place for glasses, phone, and speed pass anything else is a bonus.
The next thing would be a kickstand extension to make it easier to hook my boot on.

Edmond, OK 2012 Vision, 2012 Cross Country | As far as the Vision goes, make the CB oem instead of having to purchase it, Dash storage, lit switches, move the radio where the switches are and put it at an angle and the switches in place of the radio, optional lower seat height like the 8 ball has. The CC, red turn signals for the rear of the bike, have them all like the CCT with the lowers being the same. I do have and ride both bikes. Thanks for asking us all for our input Lloyd. |

Rockford, IL | Wow....quite a few dreamy requests so far  I'm keeping more realistic with some of the following....all Vision related....
A basic luggage rack for less than $150. Don't need chrome or stainless or powder coated or anything fancy. Just a nice chunk of metal with mounts and the purchaser can finish however they wish. If they want to spray bomb in their garage or if they want to take to a local powder coater or chromer or whatever, its up to them.
How about something for the bottom of the forks? Like spikes or rounded caps or similar. Again....keep it basic and allow the purchaser to finish how they wish. Same thing for the handlebar ends.
Metal front fender with a functional mud guard as an option? Heck, just a functional mud guard would be nice.
Some type of cover for the battery or oil cooler? To dress up/hide
A Lloydz license plate frame !
A curved laydown lighted license plate frame. And guess what....keep it basic again.
Mounts for fork mounted driving lights. Just the mounts....no lights. Allows us to use almost whatever brand driving lamps we want.
Ram ball mount that actually properly fits the Vision handlebars. And one for the passenger grab bars.
GPS mount that clips or clamps to the lip of the top of the dash.
While I don't think I need/want....but....perhaps a fork brace?
Skip turbo....I want a SUPERCHARGER....I know....I got dreamy....sorry

scotts valley, California | I am wanting a solo seat for my VV also. The other day I left the stock seat at a shop for a day or so and rode with just a chunk of 3" foam right on the frame. Talk about low! A nice low solo saddle with about a 10" high back, like some of the old Spanish horse saddles would be sweet. Yes, I still want the pick-up bed behind it too. |

| A flag mount that excepts flags bought from American Legion and it mounts on the front of the bike. Maybe one I could drill a small hole into the lower part of the windshield? Or anywhere besides the luggage rack so when I remove my trunk it's still flying high.
A few years back Kuryakyn made pass. floorboards for the GW that had a "L" piece that would flip up using the foot this gave passengers a second position for the feet and legs.
A good size cup holder that either fits the square bars or mounts to the controls some how. So many cup holders only handle cans but when I ride I like the squirt bottle that some drinks come in. The bottles are a little bigger around but it so much easier to pull the lid with my teeth to drink. |

| Modified saddlebags, that eliminate the pistons, maximize the size, and retain your existing saddlebag body panels.
Air pump/release for factory shocks that uses aux switch on dashboard, and dash mounted micro gauge.
Garage door opener that uses high/low beam switch.
Secondary air intakes that replace cheese wedges.
Secondary ram air intakes that replace aluminum dash valance on front fairing. - This could also be adjustable air that can blow on the rider.
Secondary ram air intake that replace existing front blinkers, but retain the blinker by making them smaller LEDs. - This could also be adjustable air that can blow on the rider.
Front blinkers with removable lens, and an assortment of custom lens/covers. Matching rear lens options.
Weight reduction accessories.
Xbike trunk mount kit.
modified clutch piston for easy pull.
Multi setting ECM with weather proof dash mount that allows for quick preprogrammed settings for high performance, loaded pulling power, fuel economy, and factory standard.
Pullback bars.
Better tie down points
Expandable dash mounted micro gauge cluster for engine temperature, shock pressure, and oil pressure. It would be even nicer if is an integrated module that plugs into the existing LCD display, or a download to the computer that shows this information on our scrolling screen.
Heated backrest (driver and passenger), heated passenger armrests.

Sydney - AUSTRALIA | Oh one more thing that I can think of is a Centre Stand similar to the third party stand by Ezy Up for the HD. It's a great stand and I only wish they'd make one for the XCT. From all accounts the Victory and other third party centre stands aren't up to scratch.

Jasper, MO | Easy-Up center stand, as long as it doesn't lose any cornering clearance. I don't care if you can operate it while sitting on the bike or not, as long as it gets the rear tire off the ground. Given the long suspension travel of the Vision/Cross bikes, a two-stage stand like the ones on the old Kawasaki Voyager XII might be a solution.
On board rear suspension air pressure pump and adjustment. Maybe double as an air supply for tire inflation, but not a requirement. On-the-go rear suspension adjustment and pressure readings would be nice.

| A luggage rack for a Vision Tour that does not cost me a kidney to get. I bought a HD trunk rack for my 07 Kingpin Tour at the HD dealer for $140 that worked perfectly. Rounded chrome bars that were about 1/4 to 1/2 inch thick with plenty of cross members and tie down spots. Doesnt need to be super elegant...just work and enable me to carry my wifes crap on a long weekend. Why does everyone think trunk racks should be $400 for these bikes? Please help! Thanks |

1)Brackets for lights under the driving light of the Vision
2)Adustable rear pegs for passenger to move around on long rides.
3)Did I mention an affordable trunk rack?
4)Prepainted gauge bezel for Vison to replace stock "black" bezel. Both pieces...around speakers and chrome piece around gauges.
5)Flag mount for proposed trunk luggage rack.
6)Handle bar mount for extra cig lighter so I can charge my phone without opening glove box.
7)Quick disconnect for trunk.
8)Cup holder that goes on opposite side of handle bars...not right in front of me.

Heat Deflectors that fit on the tank and along the side covers LIKE THE NEW 2013 Harley's have put on all their touring bikes. THIS IS NEEDED BADLY!
A small shield that latches into the holes on the speaker that puts an "awning" over the speaker. Something that could be put on and off easily. Kind of like you see on car windows to allow for the window to be rolled down while it's raining...this would work on the same principle. |
