$3,200 Total Money Spent on my 900

If this isn't addiction, I don't know what is.

This is why I named my bike the Black Widow. It is eating her husband alive with all of the money i'm spending on her!

Who else has over $2500 of accessories? Pictures?

Your addition wins!

[ROLAND]

I can´t give details but it´s been between 3500-4000 Euros ( 5000-5750 USD )spent since the bike was purchased in May 2006.

I'd figure I could make a thread and see what everyone else has spent on their bikes. I know greeneyess82 has a lot of money into his. I know that "The Temptress" has a lot of money in her too. What a beautiful bike they both have. Robb also has an awesome 900. I'm kinda jealous of Steve's bike too. That thing is sweet lookin without the stupid side bags. I wish I would've gotten the Hypercharger Pro-R too.

I think it's awesome how we as Vulcan owners can have so much fun tweaking our bikes out and have so much imagination. I applaud everyone who has made their ride a personal design of what they wanted.

I try not to think about it!!

[nvbirdman]

You know its so worth it to yourself when you ride it and just sit there looking at the beautiful thing you created.

[Alley Rat]

To each their own but I could never spend that much on just some shiny accessories. I got less 1K in mine. Less is more. If you know how to do it you don't have to spend thousands to get people to notice it.

[Spok]

when i sold my 1500 classic, the list of addons at current market prices was close to $4k

[IMB4U]

~~1996 Vulcan 800 Classic~~

Vance Hines Pipes
21" wheel swap
Front fender chop
VN800A forks
shaved tail fender
1.5" drop in front
adjustable rear suspension kit
side mount licence plate and tail light
bullet rear blinkers
cobra chrome dash plaque
removeable saddle bags
Custom paint (going gloss black in the spring)
front frame bag
12" fatty apes with extended internal wiring
Granucci two up seat
dirt bike style grips


No sure of the prices but close if not over $2500

~~1999 Vulcan 800A Bobber~~

Rear fender
white wall tire rear
white wall tire front
powder coated rim and hub both wheels
chrome spokes both wheels
side moutn tail light plate holder
fender struts
remap/extend/shorten some wires
solo seat
shave frame of all mounting tabs
sportster tank
petcock and cap
hyper charger/filter
speedo gauge
4" Z bars
Flat black paint
VN800 classic front end

Again not sure of price but it is up there but for both bikes well over $2500 but it is worth it. It is hard to have one of these 800s and not do anything to them, the options are endless.

You should ask your agent. Will I need receipts to make a claim. If a claim is made do I get replacement cost or acv(actual Cash value)If acv that means you get the depreciated value. Just like the value of your bike goes down with time, the value of your add on do if ACV.

I can put tons of neon streamers on my bike to make people notice it.

I dont do the things on my bike for people to notice it. I do the things to my bike because I like the add-ons. I'm not putting the stuff on to impress a bunch of people I don't know.

I like to have fun and see what I can do with things. I have totally customized my Toyota Corolla and installed neons, leds, in dash computer system and sound system with a dvd player for myself because it represents me. I'm a computer geek who likes to tweak with things.

Just because you dont do things to your bike doesnt mean its ok to knock down other people who do. I enjoy motorcycles as a hobby. That includes riding, getting to know people, having fun at events, going on solo rides to get away from it all, and I also like it because I get to customize my bike and have fun with it.

All of my accessories were bought with cash money. I didn't break the bank so that I can impress people. These are just add-ons that I have fun with, with my extra hard earned cash.

Sorry for the rant. I just want to share why I have aftermarket accessories and its not because of other people. It's for me.

I've got a set of hard bags, a fairing/stereo and a new seat, that alone adds up to about $2500 thinking I need to do a new set of bars this winter, maybe next summer.

From over the summer, but it hasn't changed much or been ridden with all the snow we're getting here.
