'82 vision

[psychovision]

Howdy,

I'm new here and purchased an '82 vision about a month ago.It wasn't running when I got it but I cleaned the carbs and it fired up. I took it for a ride and was pleased although I didn't go past 55 because I removed the front brake to clean.    Now I need to replace the fork seals ,front tire and fix a few other things. And clean.I don't know too much about these bikes but I paid 700.00 for it. Hope I didn't get ripped off too bad. I can't wait to get it going.

pyramid makes some good seals out of canada...available on ebay
there have been successes on several sites for tires
your brands are limited due to the 100/90-18 sizing
***edited tire size***

Avon-roadrider
Dunlop-404
and a maybe a couple others are available

denniskirk.com has free shipping on 100.00 or over orders
americanmototire.com has 13.00 shipping on tires

Don't know about you, kwells, but most of us have either a 90/90-18 or 100/90-18 front tire.  If it has been replaced with a Turbo Seca front rim, then you would be looking for a 100/90-19.   :D

I thought  that a turbo seca had the same wheels as the Vision , 18 inch !

[h2olawyer]

I'm fairly sure the front Turbo Seca wheel is a 19, but I may be mistaken.  There's a first time for everything.   ;)

Psycho Hi there are a few things that you need to be aware of as far as fixes go on your new Vision ie. ....stator connection,all elec. connections checked,starter seal replaced with better type,starter clutch bolts r/r,rear brake brace bolts,and more.....others will chime in .......do a search all the info is there....like tapered steering head bearings which you might want to upgrade to...... since your into the front end already... not to worry all the things I mentioned are pretty easy fixes....ask and someone will respond...good luck             GT.

welcome aboard.... $700 for a non-running Vision isn't a rip off, especially if you have it running already, but plan on another $500 for "refreshments"

all said and done.... they are kicka$$ $1200-$1500 bikes.

look on eBay and try finding something that kind of money

I wish I only paid 1200 for mine!

I paid $1300 for mine brand new in 1984.  Over the last few years, I've easily spent that much again on upgrades, additions and general fix-up.

I paid 500.00 for my first one nearly 10 years ago , and spent 400.00 getting it on the road.  700.00  isn't bad at all .

[YellowJacket!]

Paid 1.00 for mine.  ;D

HAHAHAHAA

H₂O is right.  The Seca turbo runs a 19" front rim.

I paid $130 for 3, but they all needed much more than a carb cleaning to get running.  $700 is a good price.

PsychoVision, good name!  I always think of the Suicidal Tendencies song
I've got Psycho Vision!
I've got Psycho Vision!

Kinda fitting now that I think about it!
