I really really want to.ride a liner. My constant speedo problem on the star are driving me nuts. I'm thinking about selling it to get a liner.

Re:Drove a 'Liner yesterday... 5 Years, 7 Months ago  
I was in an accident on May 18th and my 2007 Midnight Silverado was totaled. I was rear ended in a construction zone, pushed into the vehicle in front of me. Shortened the roadie up by a foot. May 18th I brought the new Stratoliner Deluxe home. If you think the 102 is powerful, you will be in awe of the torque that 113 posseses. It does come with a price, I get 40 MPG compared to the 50 MPG my 102 gave me. A small price to pay for a better riding, handling and more powerful machine. If you get the chance to swing a leg over a new Strat, don't pass it up. Take it for a spin, you may find you like it.

I have taken a stroll on my boy Jay's Deluxe, it's a sick big beast. The radio sounds awesome and the storage in those big bags is awesome! If I had the cash I would have one.

It even turns the volume up and down as the speed increases/decreases. The built in GPS is pretty neat too.

No, but we've got a brand new one here at the dealership if anyone's interested.

I like the fact that they removed the crazy tank trim and fender stay on the 2012s. At least on the Strato deluxe. Why why why no cruise control though?

They had a stripped 09 over here on CL that was at a dealer, they claimed listed for 14990(?), and they were trying to get 10990 out of. Brand new. I saw a used one earlier this year on CL, that had brown leather covered hardbags, and a champagne color that really, really, looked nice.
