Bye bye Vaq
My new old stock 12 Vaq is gone. After three months of headaches. Gear position indicAtor number two is worse, cruise is non functioning with gpi malfunctioning, horrible clack in front of engine now, bike stalled and died twice on way home from dealer, new warranty saddlebag is blemished, horrible throttle response, and fuel gauge not functioning. Happy trails Vaq. Glad the stealership helped get you back to them and swap me for a Star Stratoliner. Good luck with the Vaq everyone.

Sorry to hear a out the bad experience. So far my Vaquero experience has been just the opposite and I love this bike. The Strat is a great bike though. Hope it works out better for you.

That Strat is a beautiful bike!! And I've heard nothing but good things about it. Sorry about the lemon of a Vaq you got. :( Hope you love the new one as much as you wanted to love the old one.

Wow, the bike sounded like a mess. That seems to be a very rare case. Glad to see that you are happy with your new, new ride.

All of the 1700's (Voyager, Vaquero, and Nomad) have a lot of heat. The Harley has a bit more as it's air cooled. You can get a kit to redirect the heat on any of the bikes.

The only heat complaint on my bike is the catalytic converter in the header pipe, which conveniently barbeques the back of my right leg. That problem will be gone this weekend, as I replace the stock pipes with an aftermarket set.
