New to Me Voyager

I've been thinking about getting a Voyager for awhile now.
A guy about 30 minutes away from me was selling his 2012 with 8k miles on it.
After giving it some thought I decided to buy it. I still have the Nomad.
I haven't spent much time in here before now but will be checking out some threads in search of knowledge.
Hopefully I won't ask to many questions that have already been asked many times, but no promises.

I rode Framers before and I can definitely tell the difference between one that has been flashed and one that hasn't.
Highway pegs, some risers and the reflash are on my list.
Not sure about the saddle. Seems like if just a little of the slope was cut out of the back it might be alright. Need more miles to decide.
