control issue resolved. Hi,my name is Randy Bullard,and I'm thinking about getting a Stratoliner. I currently own a 1998 Vmax,and have been riding for over 40 years,on two continents. I live in north Florida,Jacksonville. I have two main concerns about the bike,the first is the configuration of aftermarket forward controls,or are least moving the stock controls forward a few inches and out away from bike maybe 2-3 inches as I am long (36" inseam)legged,and a size 13w shoe,and I have to contort,twist feet inward.The factory controls on any bagger are useless for me.Maybe I'll post my questions on the foot controls on the "tech" side of this forum.The more I think about it,maybe what I need is to remove the floorboards and find some kind of footpeg to go in its place,and have extensions that come out 3-4 inches further left on toe shifter,and same on brake pedal.That way I would still be able to have crash bars highway/pegs.Any question on Vmax,I'm you're man btw..Randy Second is weather the bike has any major reliability issues,including weather overheating in rear cyl area,at slow speeds in heat. I ride/accelerate hard often,and weigh over 300lbs,and with passenger/luggage will be 550-600lbs.

Thank you in advance for the assistance. Randy
