[hlknvlcn60]

A look at the coming 2017 Vaquero. I like the color with the graphics on this one.

[skullbagger]

That is sweet!

[Gypsy Dragon]

I've seen the white one, too. they look nice. I just don't like the black on the louvers and headlight shroud. It just doesn't fit, in my opinion.

[MET-RICK]

very nice has subtle contrast and nice lines not too dramatic works for me. cheers

[hlknvlcn60]

I know with those louvres I was going to paint mine black to contrast the candy lime green but decided to keep them matching...besides, not worth taking the entire fairing off the bike just to do it.

[notmighty]

just needs black mirrors, exhaust and bars to look killer. Pretty much same as 16's just different color, or did Kawi make some non appearance changes as well?

The Cardinal red color is very rich and the stripe detail is a good complement. It draws the attention of the eye almost as well as candy lime with ghost flames.

Looks like the same graphics as the 2016 model only with the deep red color....good call on the part of the factory and a great thing to see that Kawasaki is keeping both the Vaquero and Voyager in the line-up mostly unchanged. On the Vaquero I like seeing the blacked-out bits as was the original intention back in 2011.

Interesting pricing on the graphics. I would have thought the body graphics would be more expensive. When I got my bike, the 6 speed decal was worn a bit. After seeing the price on that one, it's gonna stay that way.

You find it a good thing that Kawasaki is not making any improvements, or that they are at least keeping two of the 5 1700cc offerings?

[smokier]

Good color and accents! Like to see one in person...

Ride safe,

Yes the only 1700 cc models for 2017 will be the Vaquero and Voyager. The Vaquero is still priced at 16,799.00

That's having a bad day, what happened?:???:

[Rasta]

That looks nice.

Sorry to hear about the vaquero that is in the junk yard with only 1600 miles. Yup hope you are ok.

So if I order the frame guards (crash bars) for the 2017 will they be black? I want black for my 2014.

If ordered by part number, yes black.
Why not watch ebay or the like for pull parts from disassembled bikes?
You may have to buy a left and a right separately, but they'll be there.

Yes, you might have to wait and watch. However, if you are not in any particular hurry, the savings could be substantial.

Ride safe,

Very true. Think the black would look great on my 14. Thanks

[smokier]

Agreed, have had the same thought for the '12 Lime Green

I may be mistaken, but if you ever decide to paint the louvers; you can get them out through the glove box holes instead of taking the fairing apart. That's how a few have installed the Aux Light Kit. The glove boxes are easy to remove. You can also get to them through the speaker holes if you change out those for an upgrade. You need small hands though. LOL

take them off and powder coat them, or have them professionaly painted.

have them powder coated? probably be much cheaper

It is less expensive to have them Powder coated than purchase new ones. I had the engine guards and saddlebag guard bars Cera-coated in Matte Black to match the frame and had the clamps and accessories done in gloss-black to match the black parts on bike. Turned out really sharp.

I'm 53 and after this accident happened, never again.

[MADTIME]

That's having a bad day, what happened?:???:

In a nutshell, someone pulled into a parking lot and hit all 3 of us while we were waiting to exit the parking lot. Broken wrist, arm in 2 places, compression fractures in 2 of my vertebrae and a torn and bulging disc. Other riders were scratched and bruised and bikes same.

[MADTIME]

That looks nice.

Long recovery. Hope to pull thru with minimal long term effects
