:) Well, I've gone and done it, again.......  ::) I have just been to pick up a winter project...another Vision... :o . A black '82 in not bad shape. The guy I bought it from purchased it in '85...slightly used...and had many great year's with her, then...wedding bell's, house, rug rat, etc.....Vision goes into storage.
Eight year's or so later...it's in my garage... ;D ;D ;D Once I get a chance to look her over properly, I'll up-date this "post". It does need an exhaust as the original has vanished into a pile of dust... ;) Any one out there got a spare they would like to sell/swap... ???

                  ;D.......TIGER....... ;D     
Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well-preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming HOOOOYA lets go again baby !!!!!!

'82 Vision, Pearl Orange finish, lots of up-grades!!!

haunter

I will in a while, but I haven't gotten to the point where I can do teh new exhaust yet
82 with fairing, rejetted, 83 turbo seca fork and brakes coming whenver I acquire the rest of the parts, and she stops breaking long enough to be in the garage for an upgrade instead of a repair.

well, remember that pic of StinkBomb I sent ya?..... that was her good side  :o

Tell ya what.... I have that other set that (for some reason) came without baffles.. They are solid and actually real good shape.. They might be loud, I've never had them on, but hey... you like loud  ;D ;D

consider them saved for you.... if you find something better, go for it...but dont rush into something because you think you have to.

Are you going Britt / Cafe on this one?

Phase I of......  8) 8) 8) 8) "Project PoopDeck"  8) 8) 8) 8) ........ is coming along nicely. DeckBike is just about only a rolling chassis, should be dropping the engine shortly.. StinkBomb has no idea she'll be getting slaughtered  ;)... just sitting there fat, dumb and happy...

.... and SmokeBomb is looking so fine compared to the other two  :D :D

They'll have company tomorrow... CherryBomb is coming up for the winter.. tapered bearings.... shorties and rearsets (hopefully)... new shoes cuz the fun rolled right off those new Dunlops  >:(

If I took a pic of the four of them in my garage.... I'd have the New York State record for most Visions in one place at one time  :D :D :D
... Heck, TDub only brought two up for the Syracuse Mile

N_V,
Thanks...Hang onto them for me for a wee while, I will let you know in the next day or so.

I'm thinking...maybe..."cafe Racer" in...British racing green, clip-on handle bar's with rear set's, single seat set-up, chopped tail end, etc.....Lets see what the spring brings forth... ;)

Tiger, I have a seca turbo triple tree that takes old school handlebars if you want it, its just sitting there in the garage, of course, that would require you getting seca turbo or 83 forks......

Thank-you, but not at present. However, once I decide which direction this project will take, I may come back to you... ;)

 :) Up-date.....She has a little over 23,000Km's or aprox' 14,500 mile's on the clock.
The tire's, which where near new when she came off the road, are toast, as is the battery... ::), handle bar grip's (foam type) and she has a small (1") rip in the seat cover. However, she does come with the original tool kit...  :o, which was tucked away in the "glove box" in the rear tail light... :o
I have e-mailed pictures to a few of the guy's, who may want to post them for me, given I'm "computer challenged"... ::)  :-[ :-[ :-[
