Vaquero with 21" front !!!!

Kawasakieric · 06-10-2015, 03:18 PM

Got my 21" Wheel installed. I'm very happy with the look and it didn't hurt the ride or handling of the bike.

Eric looks awesome man. I like the look but on my 14 vaq just wonder about the abs stuff

Ken Vega · 06-10-2015, 03:40 PM

That looks friggin sweet. I wish I had the coin to drop on that mod.

I am pretty sure it just transfers over skullbagger but it is an interesting question. Never thought about the ABS.

when I bought my scoot down at ron ayers in Greenville. They had customized one with the 21" wheel. Todd told me they had lost a certain percentage of abs but they were working with a wheel mfg on it. don't know its outcome. it looks sweet on the burnt orange too Ken

Looks great! Been debating the big wheel but was also curious about the abs. Really brings out the bike. Very nice.

Kawasakieric · 06-10-2015, 09:26 PM

Thanks for all the compliments !!!! As far as ABS models I was also told you will lose a percentage of the ABS sensitivity.

Did you do any suspension mods, move the fork in the trees or just swap out the OE wheel and keep everything else stock?

I just slid the forks in the triples 5/8"

That looks great. Always did think the stock front looked to small on the Vaquero. Nice job!

Kawasakieric · 06-13-2015, 10:16 PM

I just wanted to warn everyone about sliding the forks up 5/8".
I did that to mine and it was fine until I hauled a passenger today on a rough road. Fender hit the brake hose junction block on the lower triple tree.i now have 2 small dents in the front fender. I already had the turn signal bar removed or that woul have hit first. I'm going to move back to 3/8".

Looking good!
