Hello from W. Massachusetts
Just picked up a 2011 leftover red Vaquero two weeks ago. Rode out to Iowa last month on my 1996 Yamaha Royal Star and determined I need more comfort... First Kawasaki ever and so far it's fantastic! Although OEM parts are ridiculous. But all the manufacturers nail you. Got my 16" windshield on so I can hear the iPod and I get less bugs in the face. Can't wait to get to 1000 miles and start pushing the RPM's a bit... Still researching how to get my Zumo 550 hard wired too. Looks like a great site!
