| My local Victory dealer has been carrying the Vision Crossbow since it was introduced. Having ridden with many people riding Goldwing trike conversions I was surprised at how little space there was in the fender storage compartments when compared with the lower trunk that is typical on the Goldwing conversions. I think Lehman gave up a too much in terms of storage simply to keep the stock Vision taillight, granted many trike riders also tow a trailer when on trips be it a weekend or week long.

Perry Hall, MD | A recent article comparing it against other trike versions (including the Can-Am) gave it pretty high marks as I recall. One complaint was the need for more rake on the forks. I've never driven one, but apparently that makes a big deal on the handling. The same magazine included an article on a company that can make the necessary changes. |

Jasper, MO | Trike conversions take a lot of work to steer, unless the front end is raked or changed to a leading link type. My Dad had his GL1800 triked. It was too much for him to handle and he sold it about six months later.

| The usual change made by most trike riders is to install offset triple trees that add between 3 to 6 degrees additional rake and thus reduce the trail making it easier to steer. |

Bullhead City, AZ | Big Joe in Presscott makes the triple trees with the rake trikes need. Kewlmetal. The increased rake makes the trike much easier to handle. |
