guelph ontario | The glove box on the left side of the "tank" is quite small. I noticed that the dash has a fairly large flat surface. This would be ideal for locating another "glove box" to keep small items handy. Does anyone have any ideas or leads on some type of device that could be placed up there for that purpose? |

SC, Bluffton | You gave me an idea (which I'll never act upon unless hitting the lottery)
The plastic peice in front of your seat is held in place with 4 plastic nipples that go into robber gommets.
One make that the base of an ABS, plastic, etc. sculptered box that goes with the Vision's lines, and serves as storage.
Oh, but dear God, you'd cover up the warning sticker. LOL

Pitt Meadows, BC Canada | I kept my sticker on until I got home from the dealer on the day I picked it up. I showed wonderful restraint.... |

San Antonio, TX | My wife read the sticker and told me that I was to only use Premium gas in the Vision. I said "Yes Dear." The little voice inside said "Thank you dear for reading the sticker. It saved me from a long conversation on why I wanted to run Premium gas in the Vision."
I left my sticker on. One of the reasons I leave it is because I love being a non-conformist. The other reason is I love telling people "When you buy YOUR Vision, feel free to take it off."
Ride Safe!

Yes; Tank bags. Magnetic mounts will obviously not work on this bike but there are plenty on strap on bags that would.

Can't remember what the underside of that panel looks like, but maybe you can epoxy some magnets to the underside. Then the magnetized tank bags (I've also seen smaller ones) would adhere. The ones I've seen have pretty strong magnets and have good scuff protection fabric covering them. |

Probie, I'll be talking with my leather man Friday and see what he'll cook up for me. I'll keep you posted. |

San Antonio, TX | varyder,
The panel wrapped in leather would be sweet. Maybe even a black leather dash. Hmmmmm.

THAT is a great idea! Never would have thought about that! |

This thread got me thinking about how and where a tank bag would mount on a Vision. Check out this link. Looks like you can have whatever you want from this company |
