| We would have let you join anyway. 
Does 1 key fit all? I have wondered if you could do like I did for my brother's Ford trucks years ago. I had 1 blank cut to match 1 truck on 1 side and the other side of the key to fit the other truck. You had to make sure to put the key in right side up for which truck but the key worked fine for both trucks that way. Maybe something to look into? |

| Hi, I'm a proud, new 09 Kingpin Tour owner signing on to ask you Vision riders if I made a huge mistake buying the Kingpin Tour instead of the Vision. My last two bikes were the BMW K1200LT and have always loved the look of the Kingpin and after buying it loved everything but the slight vibration at cruise speed which is already getting on my nerves and can tell it will drive me nuts. Will trade it in on a Vision if it's a smoother ride. Is the Vision a smoother ride? Could my Kingpin vibration be the factory tires? Appreciate your thoughts. |

Bellevue, NE | What kind of vibration are you experiencing? You have to understand that any v-twin is not going to be as smooth as the BMW.
If you are getting vibrations at speed it could very well be a tire balance issue.

I agree. You probably have a tire balance problem. The Kingpin is fine. Enjoy the ride. |

Try using Our Dyna Beads. They balance your tire as you ride no more metal weights. You will notice a difference right away http://buywitchdoctors.com/c/120/Victory--Dyna-Beads/ |

B'ham, Al. | Don't know if the tire is the source or not. Might just be a bad tire. But if it is balance related the Dyna Beads should do the trick. Gott'em in 'bout everything I own with wheels! RR |

Central Victoria, Australia | I have been given a hammer by the local dealer while my vision has some minor warranty work done
the hammer appears to have more prsence in the engine you can feel it at idle
but underway it's a smooth as the vision . The BMW is turbine smooth
the victroy motor is smooth with some presense
so I think the vins may be elsewhere
I own a r1100s and a few other BMW over the years but do enjoy the victory |
