Greetings, As always another brilliant detailed video production 🇺🇸🎉🍾🇺🇸 Keep producing more videos, but next time let us hear the sound of exhaust and the horn to assist me on my accessories purchase.

[@frankwebster3656]

Great review, thanks.

[@turtle19dad]

Man I’m hearing too many good things about the Vaquero. I’m gonna check it and the Voyager out. And I did have a Ram Mount drop my phone. Luckily not on the freeway. Went to a Quad Lock. No issues.

[@wynnslothower4892]

Nice bike only issue I have with it I is where they placed the horn. I love everything about it and thinking about buying one at the dealership

[@BadmunkyWRX]

I moved mine. I'll do a video on what I used and where it's mounted as soon as I can.

[@WayRoo34]

Excellent overview!!

[@BadmunkyWRX]

Thank you!

[@craiggoldstein2461]

Dude, love the stabilizing stand you made. Any chance you can share dimensions?

[@BadmunkyWRX]

Sure. Going to have to give me a few though. But ill make a video on them and post the link here.

[@michaelleblanc9983]

I'm also interested in your stabilizer stand

[@AronnPalmer]

Badmunky, What part of Ohio you at? Im in West Lafayette area, Keep looking at the vaqueros but not sure if its for me. Size seems to be of concern. Im just a little guy.

[@macaroyo2]

Thanks good review 👍

[@Peteyboy..]

Nice review. What pressure do u run the tyres at ?

[@BadmunkyWRX]

I run my front tire at 38psi and my rear at 40psi. This is where the tire seems to be happy.

[@Peteyboy..]

@@BadmunkyWRX Thanks. I’m running mine the very same. Safe journeys..

[@terryshrives8322]

Do yourself a favor and get it Ivan tuned it'll be twice the bike

[@BadmunkyWRX]

I did actually. But I dot ride any more. On 9-10-24 someone forced my off the road in toa guard rail on the highway and I almost died. Bike was destroyed. And Im not replacing it.

[@81MrAuscher]

So nothing special is required to install that vent? I've been looking to do the same.

[@BadmunkyWRX]

Nope. Just need to cut the hole.

[@metricOIL]

Looks like a Voyager seat... how are the commander 3s doing? Thinking of a front one but... heard some bad reviews..

[@BadmunkyWRX]

It's a Voyager Gell Seay. And it's very comfortable to. So far I love the Commander 3s. They are holding up great, and ride fantastic. I had Commander 2s on my last bike and loved them as well. These seam to have more grip, ride smoother, and so far are wearing fantastic. Moat people run them with to low air pressure and then complain that they cupped, or wore out to fast. You need to run more pressure than your bike calls for with these tires. I'm running 38psi front and 42psi rear and that seams to be the sweet spot.

[@brianpacsuta8454]

What did the kickstand come off?

[@alsaint7944]

Any updates?

[@BadmunkyWRX]

I have posted a few other videos on the bike. I have a few more planned as soon as the weather gets decent. It's still in the 40s here at best most days. Over all I am really happy with this bike. I plan to do an update video on it after I pull it back out for the year and show everything I have done to it so far, and what's next. I am hoping for some decent weather in the next few weeks, but it might be a month or more as it can stay cold here of a while still. I know many places in the US its already riding season. Sadly that's just not the case here.

[@jamesdaple9951]

Cool

[@douglashawkins4402]

My wife wants me to get a bike that takes the bumps better. How's the ride for your wife? Also does the engine run hotter than the Harleys?

[@BadmunkyWRX]

I think this bike is very smooth actually. It rides nicer than my buddies HD or any of the ones I have owned in the past. It liquid cooled and for sure runs cooler than an HD, but you do need to get the ECM flashed for best performance and cooling as Kawasaki Has the fans set to come on at to high of a temp. And they have it tunes wrong and that makes it run a little hotter as well. After you get an Ivan flash its whole different bike! I actually have on almost identical to this one for sale. I bought one for my wife and she just does not ride it enough so I'm going to be listing it for sale here shortly.

[@douglashawkins4402]

@@BadmunkyWRX Thanks that helps a lot. I can't wait to ride one.

[@douglashawkins4402]

I bought a 2015 Voyager with upgraded pipes and K&N air filter, but most importantly Ivan flashed. It's stinkin amazing! I'm actually happy with the bars so I have nothing to do but ride.

i dont get what the obsession is these days with making everything on a bike or vehicle black. personally i like the chrome.

[@BadmunkyWRX]

Some people like chrome. I love it on older cars and classic bikes. I think it make modern stuff look outdated and old.

[@bensatterwhite5694]

I’m with you on that, street bike should have chrome. At least some to accent the bike. I have a 2012 Vaquero and it has a little chrome. The newer models have black crash guard and even the trim on the tail light is black.

[@BadmunkyWRX]

@@bensatterwhite5694 All the chrome makes the bike fell a like its from the 90s. Back when that was still in style. It just makes a modern bile look outdated. If you have a chromed out full dress bike fine, but on a bagger, its way out of place.

[@bensatterwhite5694]

You should have bought a different bike. By the time you get through rebuilding it you won’t be able to sell it.

[@BadmunkyWRX]

These bikes tend to hold their value ok. I'm not into this thing anywhere near what its worth yet. And I have 0 intention of selling it any time soon. I might sell it after it crosses 100k. But that's still almost 80k miles away.

[@_AndromedaGalaxy_]

next Vulcan i get i plan to do this all the time to ppl. cant believe i didn think of it with my last Vulcan. themidult.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/spock-star-trek-hand-sign-gesture.jpg

[@RanGer-498]

Any updates?

[@jarretcloutier2929]

Ill be doing an update video here shortly. Weather has finally gotten nice. So I can make some new videos.
