Anyone and everyone feel free to share every and all opinions or bits of information.... This is a free pass to blah blah blah to your hearts content.

Sooo....its a 2011 black..... 49000 miles..... Has some upgrades that are visible from the pictures ( I'm buying sight unseen)...

Whoa....I can hear all the "you stupid idiot" "fool" "bwahahaha" comments already.

While I'm fine with those comments, (you have a free pass remember) what I need are the specific things I need to check on a vaquero that age and miles.

I'm currently working under the assumption that an individual who has spent the money on the upgrades also spent the money on proper maintenance. (Fingers, toes and eyes crossed)

Its a one owner bike, so I'm hoping he's like me and is attached and fully invested in his toys and takes good care of it.

Are there Vulcan specific issues that I may not have considered and need to dig into when I go pick it up? I'm planning on taking it directly to a dealer and having them do a complete and thorough inspection and maintenance before I ride.

Greatly appreciate the time and consideration.

Check the rear shocks are not leaking oil, the drive belt side especially.
