I too had a 82 Vision, but mine had the full fairing from the 83. I got rear-ended in 88 on Andrews Air Force Base after the air show, bike was totalled. The guy was in a van, stop and go traffic, and then did not stop. He had been drinking. The MP's really were cool, arrested the guy, took pictures, etc. Local cops never go through the effort that the MP's did.... I took the insurance payout and bought a 88 Katana 1100.

That is, it would turn off after a few seconds if the bike was moving, but stay on all the time if the bike was stopped. I tore it apart to figure out how it worked. It was quite clever. There was a regular delay relay, using a thermal material, like a toaster (I think, it was a black box). The movement sensor was a magnetic reed switch in the speedo that would close when the speedo was turning. Pretty clever.
