This sticky is silly. Why not get rid of it? THe other stickys are mostly worthless, too. It would be easier to get to the posts without having to scroll down these stickys. Ditch 'em!

Any chance of knowing the maker of the accesory front halogen lights for the VN 2000 ? I need to replace one of the lights ( not just the light bulb ). Or do I have to order the whole complete set ?

Thanks.

You have to go to your Kawasaki dealer. You can't determine the manufacturer or buy one unit from it. That's Kawasaki's business.

If these sticky's are so silly, then why did you come back to this sticky to reply to someone's technical question......hmmmm.... maybe they do work afterall!

LOWFLYER · 09-26-2006

An HID conversion on the Rogue looks positively sweet. Just my 2 cents since you're replacing.....

Since nobody uses this thread much, I'll try to revive it a little with a V2K question.

This pic asks it for me.

The helmet lock is on the other side so I can't figure out what this bracket whatzit is for. Sure wish I had a manual.....

*ispeed77* · 11-13-2006

sounds like you need to pick up a tech manual Kim

BTW, congrats on the new ride ! i missed when you got it and haven't had a chance to congratulate you.

moparman · 11-13-2006

Thanks I am quite tickled....

And you are right. The factory service manual would be great but $75 is a bit steep at the moment.

*Lobocop* · 11-13-2006

Kim,

I haven't a clue what that is for. I went out and checked the LT and I have nothing like that at all. Think the Kawi parts break down would show it?

moparman · 11-13-2006

Good idea!

woodchucks800 · 11-13-2006

Thats the factory optional NOS bottle mounting bracket Kim

, but you might need to ride the bike a bit longer before you hook it up to the gas.

*Lobocop* · 11-13-2006

Kim,

According to Ma Kaw it is a muffler guard, probably from the factory exhaust.

moparman · 11-14-2006

yup I just found that too. Guess I'll remove it and make it look even cleaner.

Kim,

I wonder if they put that bracket back on because of a clearance issue? If you pull that bracket will the bolts go to far in to rub something?

Just a thought.

moparman · 11-14-2006

Washers would cure that. I'll be careful.

ROLAND · 11-14-2006

I was told by the dealer once that it is to prevent the heel of the passenger from getting inwards.
I was not very convinced.

ROLAND · 11-14-2006

By the way, I like the look of your V2K.
Are you happy with the V & H ?
It would look even better with brown leather seats.

Thanks

I had a 04 classic and it would have wierd harmonic noises too but then I built my bike into a chopper and I havn't heard any wierd noises. I just think the stock exhaust was too quiet. cars would pull out in front of me often.

Looks like a foot guard for the passenger to keep the foot or shoe from being pinched by the swing arm movement. Doubt if it would be in the owner's manual.
