| G'day Mates,
Good to hook up with you Yanks and thanks for sharing a brilliant bike with the rest of the world. I have one of about 10 Visions on the road in Australia at the moment. the only one in tropical Queensland and like the USA a big bloody country to get around.....just the bike for it.
I chose the HitchDoc on price and the lack of wiring harness suited as would have had to change it anyway. Price landed in Oz was about $600Aus$. Will put it on this weekend and let you know how it goes towing a trailer around Ozzy.
Regarding a trailer like the Vision, Tom Finch from Tailwinds over in the states does a brilliant trailer that would sit very nicely behind a Vision and with it's unique suspension system would tow effortlessly. Unfortunately it is very deer to import to Australia and I have only seen one over here, but for you Yanks should be a great trailer.
Thanks for all the tech' data 'Teach' and look forward to catching up with you Yanks through the Vision Riders site....ride safe, keep the black side down
Cheers

Tom Finch from Tailwinds
He posts on the Goldwing board. Smart guy. I think he does make a quality trailer.

Fargo, ND | The only thing they don't advertise is the price. Anyone know how much those babies go for? They definitely look like the cat's meow. Now if they only made one with the V tail lights. Hmmmm... |

| G'day nohawq,
The price is up there, but they are definitely the cats meoww.....and if I could afford to get one to Australia, it would be the trailer I would tow behind my Victory Vision, just because they look so good, the elbow suspension system over each wheel combined with the sprung draw bar suspension would ensure a smooth ride. The fabrication and composition of the trailer body is also second to none, have a look at Tom Finch's background a truly impressive bloke....and a solid investment. If price is a problem sell that bloody gun or look for one second hand, but I think once people get one of these puppies, they keep them.
The biggest trouble would be, forgetting the bloody thing was there...
I too have a pretty flash Midnight Cherry Tour Prem' and have to say despite a long list of predecessors it is the best bike I have ever owned.
Good talking to you mate, take care.
Cheers

| Vision Riders, I am looking for clear and easy to follow instructions on how to do the wiring of a Hitch Doc, hitch to my 2008 vision. Hey if anyone has pictures to go with the instructions that would be outstanding. Thank you in advance.  |
