That looks nice. Chain conversion, no struts on the rear fender. Definitaly different. I kinda like the spoked rims but I still think a set of rc components or Pm wheels would look better.. NICE FIND!!!

I noticed the bottom of the page said first ever 300mm kawasaki vulcan swap.. Is that a 300 tire??

Did a little more looking..

It looks sweet, though I would never want to go from belt to chain.

FL Vulcan Rider · 12-01-2008

All of those bikes on the website have a MAJORLY crooked frame when adding the new swing arm. It looked dangerous. Can you tell by all of the pictures of all of the bikes that the fender is not straight?

blue steel customs have some nice rims, but i dont think i want to go to a chain.
