| I saw somewhere a slideshow presentation made by one of Vic's high-ups (Blackwell, I think) that included a pic of an early concept of the Vision. It appeared to be a dressed Kingpin, with hard bags and a fairing. Is that picture available somewhere? I'd like to check it out in more detail! |

LaPorte,Tx. | The only place I've seen that bike was in the VRA magazine. So if you've saved those, I would look at the issues from late 2007 or early 2008. It maybe electronic somewhere. It is a good looking bike. |

| Thanks, but that's not the one. It looks like an actual photo of a prototype, in red. I even tried to break out and save that particular photo, but couldn't figure out how. |

| Strangely enough, it's on THIS site I found it...:http://www.vision-riders.com/files/VictoryMotorcycles_1-19-07v2.pdf , slide 66.
I'm looking for other views of that bike as well- from rumors I'm hearing, it may be the new model that's been spotted in test drag.

Linwood, MI | If you're looking to make a Kingpin like that, you can come pretty close with Corbin's Project Kingpin. |

Yup I still have not figured out what fairing I want to run, but the Corbin bags are a good start

I had a Kp before I traded it in for my Vision..
These are the exact bags I was going to go with if I couldn't get the monies the way I wanted when I went to the dealer.. The ONLY bags that actually fit the complete rear end perfectly. All the other that are out there look added where as these look a part of...
Very Nice! |

Fountain Inn, SC United States | A friend of mine had these in black for his kingpin 8ball. They looked fantastic but he's has to replace them 2 or 3 times because the gelcoat keeps bubbling up. |

| "replace them 2 or 3 times because the gelcoat keeps bubbling up." Remember Corbin seats for the '99s. 10 years later and they still pedal shit if they stick Victory on the label. |
