| Vision pilot!! Crash-Bar reporting for duty sorry for not writing sooner paper work you know… yea yea went on my first test ride and then went out and bought one. The test ride I must say was a little strange one of the first times I ever had to were a helmet it's a whole lot heaver then a hat I'll tell you. I rode a tour and a street. I remember reading some were hear that they thought there was a different in the ridding of the two and I can tell that the trunk dose make a different in the weight and the air a round you. There are some things that I would change and will in time. Like what's with the horn a big bike like that then you get a little beep, beep what the hell!!!!!! Some of the other things I notice were the radio and cruse controls look lie there add on instead of factory done I know this sounds really petty. And it is but way not make it prefect the first time around.

Mount Vernon, WA United States | I noticed the radio and cruise control "attachments" as well, but then thought about it, and decided that for the price point... it was just fine. When I think how much would have to be added onto the price to cover a custom designed, fit unit..... and how much they could charge for such details on top of that... I decided that if it really bothered me I'd pay someone to machine me a part... then I'd sell'em too. 
So many people post the same scenario.... "I took it for a test ride..... it followed me home"
Welcome aboard |

Prescott Valley, AZ | Welcome to the site with more "Vision" than any other on the net!!! You are going to find a ton of info and numerous moments of laughter here!! If you are looking at doing some black paint on your Cherry scoot take a look at my gallery, I had some of the gray pieces painted gloss black and really like the different look it gives the bike. To each his own as they say, but I will Never have a problem finding my Vision in a crowd 
Ride Safe, Ride Often!! |

If you think the horn on the Vision is wimpy you should hear the horn on the Jackpot. The first time I heard it I almost wet myself laughing. I put the horn on both the Vision and the Jackpot. I mounted the horn on the Vision using a bolt on the oil cooler; I did have to make a bracket for it. I'm sure there are other places to mount it but I wanted as unobstructed as possible.
Try this one it's plenty loud. http://www.twistedthrottle.com/trade/productview/2137/
