I swear, be careful! They come back to life!

I was running out of room in my garage, and I needed to make some room. I had pushed this bike to the back a while ago, and was debating what to do with it. So, I pulled the bike out, dusted it off, and started tinkering away at it. Grab a set of carbs, stator, and a gas tank, some electrical work, some engine adjustments, and she started right up and was running. Had a chance to take the bike around the block, and it's running and charging.

I really like the look of the round headlight on the Vision.

I really like the round head light also. Is the seat custom? It looks really good.

Thanks!

I almost forgot how fun ( and frustrating...) working on these bikes are. As soon as you get over the initial quirks of the bike, they really come together fast.

The seat is really cool, it looks custom (I did not do it, it came with the bike) and it really lowers the riding position. It would be great for the shorter riders.

Seems to strike me as a Steve McQueen kinda bike with the round light. ;)

Looks like you'll have a Vision running for the CROV fall ride.

Not entirely set as yet, but looking like south central California - Tehachapi - sort of near Bakersfield. Possibly in Johnsondale, CA but a few things have to work out for it to be there.

Looks good! Keep it running Pete! The BIG QUESTION is "How many V's this time around?"

will it be 15?..17?.. how bout 20!!! Can CROV come up with that many Visions this time around?
