    Victory Visions were like that. Some body panels did not line up/space correctly. Pointed it out to one the the local Vision dealers here.. they were like "meh..."

    By looking at the photos, it may be challenging to find "places to attach tie downs" if you plan to haul the bike on a trailer. Gone are the front engine guards and rear ones, being replaced with "solid" pieces, unable to put straps around or thru. Also, with the new type front suspension, I used to strap under the triple- tree, not sure what to hook onto, now. And we all know better than to strap the bike by the handle bars. JMO, without actually seeing the bike in person.

    It ain't no Harley... doesn't need to be trailered nor strapped down

    The engine guards are there, they are just covered with a plastic cover. I wouldn't use the engine guard anyways for strapping the bike down. You're right about the tree though. That is where I would strap the front down traditionally.
