My wife wanted a HD and while I was not opposed to one, the cost was just too prohibitive. So I had her start looking at Metric Cruisers to find ones that she liked that would work for 2-up touring. We finally decided on the V-Star line and found a very nice 2007 1300 with the Touring package, EFI Power Commander, Custom windscreen and a custom Air Filter. 14,002 on the clock when I picked it up. The guy also tossed in a nice bag that attaches to the rear seat back.
Plans for upgrades:
Better touring seat for me with a small backrest (help with the pain I get from my dissection).
Swap out the passenger pegs for rear floorboards.
Louder Exhaust.
Eventually I want to start de-chroming some of it, go for the blacked out look.
And some pics:
This is the First Cruiser I have ever owned, before my First FZ I had only owned Dirt Bikes and only ridden a few other bikes. I have ridden my buddies Street Glide with full dresser. The ride home was good, I really like the wind protection the big screen gives, I could open up my visor at faster speeds than I can on the FZ without getting wind in my eyes, that will be nice for touring.
In September my wife and I are planning a week long ride for our 18th Wedding Anniversary, but I hope to go on a weekend trip or two before then. More updates as I get them!
