| They are solid rear axle design like the Harley Tri Glide. Rough ride on anything but a smooth road. I talked to a Lehman rep at Daytona and he said the sales were too low to develop an independant rear axle for the Vision. Still it is a high quality conversion and styled to complement the Vision. If the price were low enough I would not pass it up. Just demo ride first if possible to see if you can live with the ride. There is a used one in Ocala Fl. and it hasn't sold in a year. I think it is an 09 in the light blue and loaded with all the extras. Not sure about the mileage but they should be motivated to sell it and make room for another bike. Ride safe my friends. |

Louisville, KY | I think it's california sidecars or something that makes the independent rear suspension trike kits for the Vision. My local Victory dealer has a couple in the showroom including a rearend cutaway model so you can get a good look at it. If you want a closer look at it I can go over this week and shoot a couple of pics for you.

| I have a 2010 Crossbow, 45,000+ miles and 40,000 miles pulling a large Aspen camper and the wife and I to Alaska, New York, AZ, Ca and whatever states we had to go through to get there from North Dakota. Installed Kewlmetal triple tree when it became available in 2011. You will not like a Crossbow without it. Also had a Lloyd's cam and fuel controller installed in 2012, extra power helps. Ya, it probably rides a little rough on rough roads, but it gets you wherever you want to go. Has never been to a dealership for any repairs. I've replaced shock seals and steering head bearing last year. Still on original rear tires. Going to Maine in about a month. We love it! |

Jasper, MO | Does CSC support the Vision now? I called them about a year ago and they said no. They only had kits for the Cross Country. They did say they were "looking into a kit" for the Vision.

, FL United States | I love the CrossBow. Too bad they think so highly of it. $38k was the asking price for one 4 years ago at a dealership near me. Too bad there's not a conversion kit for the Vision instead of having to buy a whole new bike/trike.

Jasper, MO | Lehman will ship a kit to convert your current Vision, but it will cost you $14,609, plus shipping and installation. It only works on 2009 and later Visions. Mine is a 2008. I talked to their engineering department and they told me it won't fit my 2008. It's set up how I want it and it's paid for. I wish somebody made a trike kit for it, but I don't know of any.
I've looked at several trike conversion kits for a few different brands of touring bikes. Typically, the conversion costs as much as the new bike itself, by the time it is installed and painted to match. They all seem to go for $35,000 to $40,000+ for a new one.

Louisville, KY | Yeah Victory of Louisville has a couple of the conversions in the showroom. Not sure the price but you could call them if you are interested. I just happened to see that they were in the shop when I was there. |

Grand Cane, LA | That looks like the same conversion that is on a CCT in Tyler, TX. Looks nice, but $40,000 seems a little high. |
