[interloper]

i'm looking for a triple tree that will fit the vision, and allow me to put regular handlebars on. anyone know of a triple tree that fits?

Hi there,

I think your best bet is to get some measurements, and try a machine shop... That (if my memory works fine, I haven't looked at the galery before typing this) was a one-off by the owner. Other than that, I'm fairly certain nothing mass-produced exists to put on a tube handlebar.

I wonder if there's enough space to just fit some machined holding brackets on the stock top tripple clamp?

find a post by Rick G & shoot him an email. (i don't have his email address handy) he's done that mod, or perhaps can do it for you for a few sheckels

That has to answer my question I suppose... Thanks  :)

No one makes a  conversion and nothing else fits , so I did some fabrication  and adapted  a set of handle bar mounts  from a  honda 3 wheeler . I later came accross a Vision racer  with a bar mount conversion  on it , so both of my v's have "real" handle bars . Its not a difficult job , I used a saws all to fabricate some scrap 5/8 inch  aluminum plate  and a dremel with sanding drums to finish off the welds . The welding cost me  60.00. If you want pics email me at rgcdn@post.com .
To me this is one of the most important modifications you can make to a Vision. The 83 style bar mounts are too low and too narrow, the 82 style are just plain awfull , the adjust ments are too high ,too low and no good either. Finally I couldn't stand it any more , now the bike is much more comfortable ,especially on long rides.

I have Dave Sulecki's yellow V now, and I really like the bar set up.  He included the engineering drawings for it, so I could send you a copy. He did away with the stock Vision idiot lights and ignition switch, and there is no easy way to retrofit them in their stock location.  I will be experimenting with some ideas for that soon.

yeah, if you could send me that stuff, it'd be great. the less guesswork the better. as far as not having a place for idiot lights, well, those are for idiots anyway, right? my email is ctkyq9@mizzou.edu. be sure and drop me that. thanks

On a Vision I bought, someone just drilled holes in the stock Triple tree, and monuted a set of bars there.  It worked fine, but then I got an extra set of 83 risers and put them on instead.
