| Has anyone installed these on their vision yet? They are from Arlen Ness, #V-1248 $599.99. I would like to see more pictures before I make a decision.  |

| Arlen Ness website, under Victory parts. They are a body kit, that fits under the saddlebags and covers the back pipes. It gives the bike a lowered effect. |

Rockford, IL | Quite a while back I contacted Arlen Ness and talked to the parts manager about these. I was told that they do not plan on putting them into any type of production. |

| That is Arlen's bike, he had it on display at the 10th party in Daytona this year.
He was great to talk to, he took the time to show me everyhting that had been done to the bike.
He did say the 2-1 exhaust and the lowering kit would be available along with the other one off items on the bike. |

Oviedo, FL | Arlen Ness had temporaily suspended production of their lowers, I am currently waiting on their new set which will be made out of aluminum instead of plastic. They will all so have a more streamlined appearance that flows better with the shape of the saddlebags. As a result of the change the price is set to increase. |

Perry Hall, MD | Check out this photo from GAgirlTrixie album showing another version from Ness.
Looks like the co-pilot may have a hard time finding a place to put their feet.

Richmond, Virginia | Bud,
The lowers on your bike dont look like those big add ons that I think many of us are thinking of that we saw from Arlens Mess. Your bike looks cool, the other bikes look like someones dragging mysterious black luggage under the rear of the bike.
congrats on a hot looking bike buddy. |

New Bohemia, VA | can you take a close-up at different angles. It looks good, I like it and would like to see a better angle though. The original lowers I would count as a true custom and not a typical add-on. They also look great and I would been seen sportin' some on an 8-Ball... |
|

|
| Thank's. Try to give you a betterPic. |
|
| |
|
| still trying. |
|

|
| Maybe!

| Pic's not the best but they do look good on the bike.
On Ness wed site part #v-1248 but the pic they have isn't right.
They look like the ones on his 10 th Anniversary bike. |

New Bohemia, VA | I like the looks, no, love the looks of the original ness lowers. However, there is no practical reason to have them unless your bike is all show and no go. It is impossible to ride the twisties with them and be busted up if you were a rider.
The ones you have bnb are the practical ones and they seem to do a good job to hide the pulley. They could either chrome the upper part to blend with the muffler or blacken the tip. |
