Hi all, I am new to the site and recently purchased a 1997 vn 1500 classic. I am having some issues with the carb vacuum lines and was wondering if anyone know if it should be a steady constant vacuum off the carb or if it is intermittent vacuum off the carb. A hypercharges was already...
I'm debating on going to a Progressive 412HD 11.5" shock with the 1" lowering kit in the front. I know I will lose a little ground clearance but I think it might look better. I heard that the heavy duty shocks should be helpfull a little in bottoming. Has anyone done this? Would you have any...
I've noticed that the vibes in my 1600 Classic's floorboards are pretty pronounced, not extreme but definately noticeable. I've read that balanced engines do emit vibes at certain RPMs but I guess some brands vibrate more then others. I happened to attend a Harley Demo Days today at a...
whats the best jet kit to do for the vulcan 800 classic? I tried to adjust the af screw, but it didnt help much. Can anyone please direct me in the right direction? this will be a winter project so I have plenty of time to do it right So far mods to the bike: cobra exhaust,k&n drop in filter.
OK - I've searched the site for the answer and I can't find exactly what I am looking for. So, I was wondering if one of you guys/gals could help me out. So, first I will explain the setup I currently have. Taillight is one of the integrated LED taillights, turn signals and brake light in...
This is driving me nuts. This is definitely NOT an engine sound or something that sounds like lifters, etc.... In fact, my Nad is running smoother and quieter than ever thanks to the oil advice I got from folks on this board (Mobil 1 4T Racing 10W-40). This has something to do with something...
Okay after a week of waiting in anticipation I got my Fairing in today with all the trigger lock stuff..... No go.... doesn't matter how you turn the mounting brackets or anything it just simply will not work. I guess there really is a difference between a classic and an LT. So now I have...
Ok heres the deal I have an 07 Vulcan 900 Custom, and my riding buddy has a 08 Versys 650. I am finding that he can out perform me by just a little, well it seams like a little. he pulls me by maybe 6 to 7 lengths up to about 90mph. Guessing! maybe more maybe less. Anyway what can I do to my...
I've got a set of 900 pipes that got blued up pretty bad due to a fuel line leak/fire. Made them fairly sensitive to rust too. They work just fine sonically though. If anybody wants them to test out baffle drilling and removal mods before you drill out your shiny pipes, you're welcome to them....
I pulled to a stoplight behind a pickup that was loaded with an engine block...which, I'm sure, hid me from his rear view mirror (IF he used it at all). Before I knew what was happening he threw his truck in reverse and came right at me. He stopped less than one inch (literally) from my front...
Just picked up a pair of Roadkrome saddlebags (Nashville studded) for my Vulcan 900 custom. Got them new at a decent price and decided to buy the mounts later (don't ask). The bags were pre-drilled for the mounts but did not come with any kind of hardware and I'm wondering if the mounting kit...
Are those baffles up there? If so will the new ones I ordered make a difference? I ordered the HP-PLUS BAFFLES FOR 2" (PAIR). Thanks again folks!
Folks, I appreciate your expertise. I'm selling my 2008 Concours 14 and want a large cruiser. I've considered the 2009 Nomad and V2K, but I've run across some great deals on leftover 2007 (and even 2006) VTX 1800s. I mainly like the F and T (touring) models. I've googled for reviews, problems,...
A few days ago I ordered a chatter box communication device for my full face helmet and I am wondering if I made a bad decision on spending almost 200.00 on this thing. In the picture they show the blue tooth attached to the side of the helmet with no cables showing or anything like that...but...
ok here we go agian. Please dont heckle me for this post. I want a sissy bar for my custom 900 and i hate the small looking sissy bars from cobra and all those. They are terrible. So heres my question. will the sissy bar of a classic 900 LT fit my bike? Thats the one i want if any of you LT...
I accidentally ran into Honda web site and see this new model 2010: 2010 NT700V - Honda Powersports (http://powersports.honda.com/2010/nt700v.aspx) It's a liquid-cool V-twin 680cc lightweight tourer and fully dressed exactly like its bigger sport touring Honda ST 1300! In fact Honda website...
How do I remove the front brake pads from a Vulcan 800? I left my service manual at work and really want to get the pads changed this weekend. I know (well, think I know) that one of the pins has to come out, but I can't see any difference between them, and can't see anything that I would remove to...
Does anyone happen to know the torque specs on the front pulley? UPS should be here monday with the Scootworks package!!
