Finally getting around to posting pics of my VN900 LT

[Mr_Martini]

Okay, I know it is requested that new members post pictures of their ride. Well I've been snooping around for some time now and only posting a comment here or there but I realized I never posted pictures of my MS.

So... here you go! I ride a 2007 Vulcan 900 Classic LT. I've replaced the saddle with a Corbin, Cobra highway bars, Cobra lightbar, Scootworks front pulley, Baron's BAK, Cobra Speedster Slashdown exhaust, PCIII, Scorpio alarm and Stebel air horn.





Next, I want to replace the grips with ISO grips get rid of the boxy standard side mirrors with something a bit more curve to it. I also thought of debadging but I haven't made up my mind if that's really what I want to do.

Anyway, thanks for letting me fulfill my picture posting obligation.

Beautiful bike! The lightbar makes the front look great.
Hey Mr_ Martini, I am thinking about buying a Stebel air horn for my 06' 900 Classic LT. How much louder is it over the stock? Since I put my Cobra highway bars on, my stock horn sounds like a cartoon character and I want a louder horn when needed on buttwipes in cages.
BTW, you will love and notice the difference in your hands with the ISO grips.

Thanks guys!

When I put my stock horn on the Cobra light bar, I had the same problem many have had. It doesn't vibrate right and barely makes a sound. I couldn't hear it at all on the freeway. I'd loosen up the rubber ring holding it on but after a while (normally at the worst time) it lose its volume again.

I used slicktech's installation instructions for the Stebel horn and although I had to purchase and use longer wires, the installation was simple and I think looks great:


Is it louder? YOU BET! They definitely hear me now... all 139 dB.

The first time I got to use it was when a lady in a pickup truck decided she needed to take the exit she was passing and cut across multiple lanes right at me. I hit that horn and she swerved back over. While passing her, I looked over and she had her eyes bugging out and her mouth was dropped open and she was grasping her chest. I couldn't be mad that she cut me off because I was laughing so hard. Hope she didn't have a heart attack.

Your bike almost look like the twin brother of my bike. Well done.

Hey scoobs!

1. Yes, you use your stock indicators. It has you remove the blinkers from the metal bar, which is replaced by a longer one allowing the blinkers to stick out further and make room for the new lights. It's one of the first upgrades I did to my ride (any ride, really) and even I found it to be quite easy. I just followed their instructions step-by-step. I was a little hesitant at first with the wire they wanted me to "tap" into. It looked like a wire for a blinker. I did it anyways and it worked perfectly. At least just the way I want them to. There's a toggle switch so I can turn the light bar off if I like. It doesn't go to high beam when I flip my main lamp to high beam, which is the way I like it.

2. I purchased my Stebel Air Horn from Amazon.com for $41.95. Just do an online search for "Stebel Air Horn" and you'll find lots of places carrying them. I ordered the chrome version. There is also a black one if you'd like to blend it into the bike somewhere.
