| Just wondering if anyone else has a problem with your passenger scuffing your bags. My wife seems to rub the edge with the back of her legs and it is really scuffing the bags. Since mine is black it really shows. May have to put some clear tape on them.
Should not even have this problem because my wife has a Kingpin and should be riding her own. But since I got the Vision her bike just seems to sit.
Thanks

Belding Michigan | I have heard that also my wife rides with me and is vertically challanged she is but 5'2" and even with the risers she hit the bags and the pull from her legs caused he lower back to hurt. I just bought a Corbin seat that I love but it added to the problems as it is at least and inch taller and firm instead of squishey. With all that somethig had to give.
My son in law and best friend is a metal guy make knifes as a matter of fact he took blocks of Alumuinum and made new blocks about 5 inches tall and that did it.They are high enough she does not touch and is planted firmly in the seat and they look like they came from the factory that way. Looking forward to the ride this summer. Archie |

Richmond, Virginia | Victory does make lift plates for the passenger boards. My dealer had to stack two on each side for his wife, but they alleviate this situation. |

Ruskin, Fl | In the mean time give it a good coat of Liquid Glass. It's a little expensive, but it works wonders. Mine is black and a good coat of this stuff makes it look better than the day I rode out of the dealer with 6 miles on it. |

Stockton, Ca. | The lift adaptors were the answer to my 5'2" Vision Co-Pilot (the wife). She was loosing circulation in her legs due to the crease in the bags. The change in foot rest height made all of the difference. No discomfort and no scuffing of the side bags. |

| Would the 3M clear plastic guard work on the bags for that? |

Yes...My co-pilot is a very tall 5'2".  Even with the floorboard risers I still noticed that the back of her legs were rubbing on the saddle bag covers. I used the 3M clear coating and it has solved any worries I had about the paint being damaged from the back of her legs. |

| Thanks guys for the input. I think I will try the film and if that does not work then the risers. She does not ride with me that often so it should not be a big issue. Where do you get the Liquid glass you were talking about?
Thanks

Linwood, MI | You can get Liquid Glass at just about any auto parts store. It's about $20 bucks. Three applications of it and you won't ever have to worry about the soft clear coat again. |

NW Illinois | Will the liquid glass take out existing marks and scratches? |
