How is the ABS on the Vaquero? THANKS, RAMBLER

First off take a look at the saddle on your new skoot. If you plan on upgrading the saddle do it first as the new saddle will influence how high you sit. Then measure the height your eye level is for your new wind screen by looking at a spot 50 feet in front of your skoot on the road. That should get you close to what you want.

You indicated you bought passenger floorboards. Take your thumb and start probing or pushing down on the saddle where your passenger will sit. On mine there were two bolts right under the saddle cover. Your passenger is going to have these pushing in their butt or legs.

The Bridgestones are so so.

I can't answer for the ABS. My 2011 doesn't have it.

Hope this helps.
