A forum for talk about Kawasaki's line of cruisers.
This Sticky is for specific questions, concerns and feedback pertaining to the the Vulcan 500, 750 and 800 Models.
Thought it was time we had a topic thread for the boys on the Drifters. Welcome guys, sorry we didn't do this earlier.
This Sticky is for specific questions, concerns and feedback pertaining to the the Vulcan 1500, 1600 and 2000 Models.
This thread was created to consolidate and share information on this seemingly common issue. Please feel free to add any pertinant information, or pictures and schematics that may help other Vulcan riders find and repair these coolant leaks. It seems apparant that many Vulcan cruisers have...

What is the part # of the H4 bulb that has the blue tint you can buy at any auto parts store. I want to replace the bulbs on my 800A and my wife's 500 LTD.
Have completed two and a half legs of my trip to Savannah and to Florence/Myrtle Beach SC. Got to Savannah in what seemed to be record time owing to my trying to keep up with my wife and kids in what was supposed to be the "SAG" wagon. After that sprint, I was definitely sagging. Weather was...
PCIII and Vance and Hines Big Shots are finally installed!!!:twisted: And let me tell you they sound nice!! Very Deep throaty sound!!! Just what I was looking for. I did buy a pair of quiet baffels, but I think I'll just ride awhile and make some noise. Good thing I carry a badge!!!:lol: ...
You all no the story but for those that don't. I bought the seat a month ago used it one weekend then I traded in my MS for a Vulcan 2000. The seat is NEW! I just put it up on ebay. Click here for link to the auction....
Whew.. Just put them on.. and I like em. Pretty loud.. I am surprised.. Sounds good.. but loud.. That's good.. right? Yes.. I took more pictures, kind of a step-by-step.. I'll post later.. I'm going for a ride. The 1st image is the latest....
You are NOT going to believe this. I went to my local bike shop today to pick up the supplies needed for my oil, final drive and coolant changes. I also wanted to pick up a set of spark plugs, 2 to bring on the trip and 2 as spares for when I need to change my plugs. Anyway, I had no plans...
I think this is my 100th...my son is on a Mustang site and told me he is at about 4000. I guess I'm a posting weanie. I DO love it here, thanks to you folsk.
I'm curious what percentage of people changed out their pipes, EFI, air intake themselves vs. having the dealer do it. Can you elaborate on the effort involved for a mechanical rookie to do it or how much a dealer charged depending on your experience? Thanks, --Mike
Hello All, I have a stupid question!! What is the part number for these ISO grips for a 2003 meanstreak 1500 I can not find them anywhere I have looked so far, my dealer says they are not available for my bike, I have seen many on this site with them Please help they look way to cool...
What the heck is a "Foil Inspector". Not that I'm offended, just wanted to know. Many of you BTK veterans have been here before, just curious.
I need to find some of the chrome flanged bolts for a F&S sissy bar/luggage rack mount. I foolishly installed mine without any locking mechanism (loctite, jam nut, etc) and two of them vibrated out on me. I properly secured the remaining two, and put galvanized bolts in for the other two. I...
at the Sonic in Madison, Alabama. Lot of bikes there, probably between 200-300 or more. Not bad for a hot, humid Alabama evening, plus the cost of food was 50% off to bike riders. Lots of sharp bikes of all different brands and styles there - cruisers, sport bikes, choppers and trikes. I had...
Hi, I have been riding my new 2003 MS for about a month now. I had it loaded up with a F&S windshield from the dealer but with the warmer weather I have taken it off. Now suddenly I am getting a flutter coming from the front end. I have tried tightening loose bolts (none) and used clips to fasten...
Yesterdays local newspaper detailed a story about a 20 year old rider who was killed after failing to negotiate a right curve, taking it wide and slammed into the left front of a cement truck going in the opposite direction. Pronounded dead at the scene. It stated that he was going at a high rate...
Check out the link here (http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=3545&item=8202331190&rd=1) I wonder if this is where Kawi got the name for the MS. :grin:
Is anybody going to the 4th of July Hollister Rally in Ca.
This is my first post (or whatever you call it) on any website, ever. I've read a lot of good advise on this forum and wanted to participate. I've rode bikes since I was a kid and i've owned 7 steet bikes in the past 14 years. I have just purchased a 1999 Kawi Nomad about 2 weeks ago. Since...
For the 100th time I have seen the gleam of excitement dilute to the look my puppie gives me when I hide her chew toy. So tonite, when the waitress saw my goggles and asked "Do you have a Harley?", instead of my normal, "No, it's a 1600 Marauder.... a big cruiser", I said: "Yes I do, just got it...
I'm installing Longshots on my MS and the muffler brackets, on the back of the mufflers, won't line up with the muffler bracket on the bike. Actually they end up about the length of the muffler clamp too long. The instructions show 1 seam, the heat shield and the muffler..and say that the heat...
I'm off to ride down the Natchez Trace for the weekend. Yall keep a close eye out for the cages over the holiday.
