bigbill · 03-18-2006

i was told that a vulcan 1500 classic seat will also fit
1600 classic, does anyone know if this is true
thanks

I don't think so. The 1600 classic driver's seat has a tab on the seat pan and a single bolt in the center of the rear of the seat securing it. I beleive the 1500's use 2 bolts? 1600 classic and 1600 nomad seats are interchangable. I have heard of folks putting 1500 nomad seats on 1500 classics.

well to be honest with you, if i had my A tools instead of the kawasaki tools it wouldn't have near rounded. the 10mm open end wrench in the pouch isn't exactly Craftsman quality.

Spok, the bracket that holds the passenger seat on has the same bolts, I did the same thing and just swapped them around. Your right about those tools Kawi sends along with the bike,cant put alot of torq on them.
