Been Nice To Know You

Well all after all the trouble I have had with the intake on the vaquero a dealer got it running good enough I could trade it off. I bought a yamaha Straroliner S left over 2012 got a great deal and love the bike I put a 65 tooth rear sproket on it to lower the rpms. It only has a 5 speed tranny but this helped alot. Im glad to have got to talk to you all and Thanks For All The Advise. Hope I can find a forum like this for the Stratoliner. Good Luck To You All, B Cope.

Who says you have to leave? We don't mind. And neither do the Harley and Vic guys who hang around here.

You don't have to go, I sure would hate to loose all your knowledge and input.
I have a good friend who rides a Strat, and I've ridden it a couple of times, and I must say I really like it a lot, and have thought that my next bike might be a Strat Deluxe. They are awesome machines, and even though the fuel tank is smaller, with it's better mileage, the range is the same as my 1600, and I get between 42~45 mpg consistently.

Thumbs Up

I also have a friend with a Stratoliner and he loves too. I noticed it has a very low/good center of gravity and has great handling.

Enjoy the new ride.
