San Antonio, TX | I found an un-credited picture of Sonny Barger with his new ride and posted it to the gallery. I like what he did with the Lighted Victory Badges on his bike. Take a look if you have a moment. |

He replaced the Victory logo with the Hells Angels skull logo. I wonder how hard that would be to do? It would make a nice cottage industry for someone. |

Chandler, AZ | those pipes sound great... I believe the company is working on the heat shields. If you look closely, you can see where the stock heat shield ends just to the left of the passenger floor boards... |

Reno County, KS | I never pictured a Vision as looking sinister before. He did a great job. Does anyone have any links to or about that exhaust? Maybe a news thread to follow about it? I REALLY wanna hear what a Vision can sound with a nice, loud exhaust.

Chandler, AZ | It sounds closer to the Slass Ness pipes(maybe in between to two)... I rode a Vision yesterday with those same pipes and there is a large amount of decel popping however the bike felt like it had more get up and go in the low end. These are the best sounding Vision pipes I have heard so far ( if you like the louder pipes...however not too loud) |

San Antonio, TX | Did he have different front brakes installed or are they just blacked out? |

Scottsdale AZ | I also rode a V with the thunderheader pipes, deep and awesome, best I have heard. If Chandler Tom and I rode the same V, I think part of the smoothness he was talking about was that the bike also just had a "power commander" installed. I was told it was fine tuned and sure made a difference. Got one on order. I'm up in the air on the pipes, have the S1L1 and Gatlin tips. Before long I'll have $50K in this beauty! Anyone want my current pipes and Gatlins?
BTW, Sonny does ride his V, 10,000 mile this week and only a couple months in the saddle. |

Jim, do you know if PowerCommander makes maps and controllers for the Victory Vision? Tim |

Evergreen, CO | I went to the Power Commander website, and I did not see a listing for the Victory Vision for neither the Power Commander III USB, nor the Power Commander EX. They DO have listings for other Victory models, just not the Vision. It sure would be nice if they offered one, as I have a real good tuner nearby with a dyno that does hundreds of bikes with Power Commanders on them. |

Sonny Barger endorses Rich Products Thunder header exhaust. They make True duals or Slip on Mufflers for Harley and American bikes. Keep in mind this was An Arlen Ness custom for Sonny who has always ridden Harleys. Arlen rigged it to mount to the Vision.  |
