Seat Back Bag
Advanced Transportation Products has
designed a custom bag to sit on your seat
back. It has approx. 800 cubic inches of
storage capacity in two sections: a main
storage compartment with flap, and a zip-
pered pouch on the main flap for wallet,
keys, etc. The main section features two
pockets, handy for tools, Powerbars, etc.
The bag slips over the back of your VI-
SION seat, and straps around the seat
crossbar. Off the bike it features a com-
fortable shoulder strap. The bag is ideal
as a day bag, or a touring companion bag for carrying valuable items.
Rear Rack / Panniers
Your VISION is equipped from the fac-
tory with mounting positions for a rear
rack, available from your VISION dealer.
This allows you to use any standard pan-
nier set for touring/commuting.
Fenders
For wet weather riding your Metro will
accept fenders. Any 20” fender set that
has a sliding brake clip will work - just
slide the clip around the rear fender until
it matches with the 5mm braze-on at the
rear of your Metro frame. For the front
you can either cut down the 20” front
fender to fit under the front fork, or you can simply leave the front fender off - the 1.75"”
main backbone tube on your Metro makes a wonderful fender by itself!
Kickstand
I hate always looking for a tree or wall to lean my Metro
against. We've built in an attachment point for a standard
Greenfield kickstand. You should be able to get one of these
at your local bike shop. They are also available from us, if
your shop isn't close.
T-Shirts
Declare to the world that you are a Vision™ recumbent
owner - has the Vision™ recumbent logo over the left breast.
Available in XL, L
