Thanks Ray!

Everybody that gets this from RACNRAY just raves about it!!! I can't wait to feel the difference myself....after I ride with the stock throttle for a few hundred miles, like he asked me to do

If I read this correct Cheriann is getting a Vaquero, even the 2012 Vaquero does not have the KAMS, only the 2012 Voyager is equipped with this system. Other forums have reported trying to retrofit to earlier Voyagers, and have found that it is VERY Pricey for the parts, and the radiator is farther forward so the radiator shroud would not fit...I find that the KAMS works well on the 2012 Voyager, I am currently riding in 95 to 100 degree temps in AZ now, and don't feel the heat.

You read it right! I just like the styling and looks of the Vaquero better than the Voyager

Cheriann.. I don't blame you a bit, I wanted the new Green one, it is a sweet looking ride, pictures don't do it justice. but had to make the wife comfy, and I am VERY happy with the Voyager. I am sure you will love the Vaquero...

Cheriann do not pay attention to these folks that talk about heat issues.I have a 2011 Vaquero in Florida and it absolutely does not put out heat. Just so you know the low speed fuelling will get a lot better as the engine starts to break in. Mine took about 2500 miles before it started getting better. You will be thrilled with the Vaquero.

New Bike

Okay, the money is in the bank. Cheri gets her new bike tomorrow morning. As soon as the Dealer opens today, I will have the bike pulled from the Showroom floor. I am going to have the Aux. lights added to the Fairing. I think I may be more excited than she is....

Of course! Nomad's are just slow, everyone knows that.
