Well my 2013 VV is in the shop.  No nothing wrong with it except for the fact it isn't in MY shop.  I signed the papers yesterday and should have it next Friday.  

 My 2009 VV developed a problem and ended up with a broken #2 shift fork.  Nobody could tell me how that could happen, the warranty people concluded it was a defect in manufacturing.   Anyway, I got nervous about the fact that the bike had been completely disassembled and was worried that I would never be able to completely trust the bike again so I traded it in on the 2013.  

 I got another black bike.  I had the silver parts painted black as well.  All the swooshes and stuff.  The handlebars are also black.  I also ordered Thundersticks and the cams/PC5/airbox etc.  They are moving the hitch from the old bike to the new bike as well.  

 The bike looks great.  The black trim items look slightly sinister.  I am having them put the heat shields from the original pipes on as well.  I am going to take the heat shields to the powder coaters when I finally get the bike to have them coated black chrome to complete the look.  Fornow I have to be patient.  Next Friday may take forever to get here

Traded my '08 in for a 2013 on 10/20. After 2 black Visions I decided to go with red. I am very happy with my choice. I have 4300 miles on it already.
Pics please.

I need sound video. Tired of that one on YouTube. Need to see and hear those Thundersticks.
Congrats on the new bike.
