I've been lurking this forum since I bought my Vision in 2009 and just wanted to say THANKS! :-)
From the information I've gleaned, these are my completed modifications:
Darkside Rear Tire (I'll never go back!); Clear Front Turn Signals (Best visual improvement!);
99 LED Trunk Brake Light (biggest safety improvement!!); 3M Carbon fiber - console, dash top cover, plastic portion of front fender, and battery cover; NO MORE belt chirping - Amen!; and the Middle rear brake light mod. (that one just made good sense!)

On my list: Radio antenna & speaker upgrades; Cams & intake are already ordered.

On my own: Side bag mounted white Stingerz led "puddle lights" wired into the top bag plunger switch. My wife's favorite mod. - no more putting on chaps in the dark!; Remote control Purple UV Stingerz to give just a subtle cast off of the side chrome pieces & motor. I'm not into major accent lighting but I get a LOT of compliments on that.

My biker nickname has always been "Rocket Man" and now my bike fits the profile!

I agree, this forum has been such a blessing. The search feature has brought up so many answers to my questions. I love my Vision and I love this board. I'm also a member of the VMC... Enjoy your ride - and I know you will! <grin> BTW, I'm thinking of putting some blue LEDs to shine down on my engine as well. Too much fun, too much fun!

There sure seems to be a lot of us fron northern OHIO. I am going to have to work out a date where we can have a "Vision Cook Out" I have a big yard and driveway, central location, and can cook a mean burger on the grill. We will have to make this happen!

This forum really helped me decide to buy my Vision. It has helped me save time and money making Liandra safer, more powerful, and even more fun to ride. Best forum I have joined ever!

A Northern Ohio get-together sounds like a good time. I wonder how many others from this area bought their Visions at Bair's. I still get a lot of comments & compliments on my bike around here but I have ridden in some parts of the country where folks actually want their picture taken with the bike. I guess there must not be any Victory dealers close by :-)

Here's the LED page: http://www.vision-riders.com/bb/forums/thread-view.asp?tid=4824&pos...
and the Carbon Fiber: http://www.vision-riders.com/bb/forums/thread-view.asp?tid=8957&pos...

I just used the same process to wrap the other pieces as well!

To paraphrase the old Honda ad. "You meet the nicest people on a Vision!"

How about "You meet the happiest riders on a Vision" so the lawyers don't come after us.

Can I have an Aaaaaaaaaa-men?!

A huge thanks to everyone that contributes to this board. EVERYONE! I have learned a lot about my ride, and it has saved me a few times. I have enjoyed the debates, the camaraderie and the sometimes heated discussions. It is without a doubt the best motorcycle board on the internet.

And a big thanks to Jedi Jeff and those who created this board!! I know it took a lot of work to create a user friendly site for us to enjoy.
