After 8 almost trouble free (other than self inflicted!) years and almost 60,000 miles with the Nomad, I finally traded it in on a Vaquero.

I had my eye on the Vaq as soon as it came out but tried hard not to fall in love. I failed and last week got a 2014 orange one.
I haven't posted much recently but have been lurking and always enjoy the comments and appreciate all the help people are willing to give to help a person out with a problem. I know I've received a lot of good advice and help here over the years with my Nomad.
Naturally I've got a thousand questions but will do a lot of searches first to see what has been discussed over the years. The first item already ordered is a higher windshield. Man, that shorty just doesn't do much. Looking at Chuckster's risers too though the stock bar placement is not as bad as the Nomad was and a little back and up should make a big difference. Not yet up to a full new bar install with the electrical wiring mods and new lines. There will be a hell of a lot of wires to slice and I thought the Nomad had a lot. Future wishes will be V+H slip ons, maybe a new intake and a PCV. Maybe the running light kit though I still have the running/turn signal combo I had on the Nomad that I may use if I can figure out the wiring under the shield.
Anyway, lots of fun to look forward to. Sorry for the long post but just wanted to reintroduce myself.
Thanks,
