New to Vulcans

Hey guys and gurls, I am very new to riding cruisers , traded in my Ducati 1098
For a 2019 vaquero and so far have been very happy other that the bad fueling .
Replaced that tiny windshield and passenger foot pegs with floor boards,also installed the iPod cables , touring gel seat and lowered the rear as in only 5,3 .

Welcome to the cruiser world. Most find the 1700 engine ownership much more enjoyable after having the Ivan's reprogram done. Pricey but well worth it. Enjoy!

There is no substitute for laminar flow in which a helmet is the primary disturbance.

SO MANY ROADS,

Sweet, You should not have to do it but with the money you save buying a Vaquero it amounts to a small cost to improve the rideability. And then you still have saved money over all, even after you Ivanized. YMMV. But most find it to be true.
Keep it on the list, there are a few who just let it ride. Most do it just to be in on the program, Then afterward go....WOW. Never thought this bike could be like this. I was going to return mine because I thought it SUCKED. Afterwards,..... I am a life time member. Not blowing smoke up where the sun does not shine either.

Welcome to the group. By the way.

Greetings @Bagger Rider. A second vote for the IVAN's tune. It helped so much, that when the 2nd Vaq came home from the dealership, the ECU went to IVAN the next day. Less than 100 miles on the clock and off to the WIZARD for his secret sauce. Great Bang for the Buck!


Ride safe and enjoy,
Smokier
