Default Tnhunter is going to buy me that minbike =) THX man=P

Kids in the neighborhood have minibikes. I cannot stop laughing every time I see one of those things. Literally I laugh at them until they are out of sight and then still can't stop =) I don't *really* want a minibike, but I think it is cool that people want to ride these little 50cc things. Hey at least it's a step in the right direction =P

sorry i am late to this, i just wanted to agree. man, i always used to give HD the fact that their bikes looked real good and had a nice fit and finish, but next to that classic there is no comparison. i am really impressed with the lines of the classic and the general overall look, especially compared to the HD.

welcome Phillip. I know what the posty says but you will have better luck putting this in the cruiser section. Several guys in there have the v2k. I do not but thought I should let you know where the guys were that do.

Not unusual. Here's a recent thread about it.

Default Battery New and not charging...

After 11451 blissful miles on my 98 Classic, I'm experiencing technical difficulties with the Battery not charging at all, AND at the same time I lost all power to the headlight, even the blue (bright)light on the dash console quit working too. Yes fuse is fine, bulb is fine, and yes I tracked the wiring for a short, neither of which was found. I even disassembled the ignition switch but no problem found there either. Anybody ever hear of this as a common problem to the Vulcan 1500 Classic?

How old is the battery?

Unfortunately not mamy people follow this thread so I'd recommend asking here:

i agree with Phatboy, i would post it in the Mechanics section, but have you taken a voltage reading on the battery ? with load and without ? maybe you have a charging problem and the battery is down to a voltage that just won't support everything. how's she start ? just some things to think about.

Default Easy Bracket

I just purchased a '03' 1500 mean streak. I want to add saddlebags using Easy Brackets. I was told I would need to get a "billet fender strut" that changed the 6mm bolts to 8mm. I have looked around and found an aluminum bracket number K53020-323 the replaces the stock part. Has anyone used these mounts and can tell me if this is the part I need? Thanks for the help

first off, welcome to the forum. second, i am not sure how many MS riders check this thread. it might be a good idea to start your own thread in the cruiser section, as we have a lot of MS riders and i am sure they will try to help you out as much as they can.

That sounds like a good idea. Now all I need is info on how I start my own thread. I'm very new at this and because of that, I stumble around a lot. Never mind, I think I "stumbled" on to the answer
