A forum for talk about Kawasaki's line of cruisers.
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 500, 750 and 800 Models.
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...

Every once in a while there's a road hazard that you don't ever really think about until you encounter it. For example, last night I had a cheap thrill at a toll booth. Normally on my commute home, I sail through a toll booth in the commuter lane because bikes count as a 'car pool' in California,...
Got this e-mailed to me today.
Hi all: I have been a lurker for awhile with nothing much to add to the group. This past week my wife and I took a ride out west. Red lodge, West Yellowstone, Jackson Hole, Codey, and Sturges. 2300 miles from start to finish. Got an average of 40 mpg on a stock v2k. Needed new tire when we got...
After 6000 miles on the 1700 and then hopping on the Valk the 1st thing I noticed was the sound "or lack there of". Valkyrie sounds like a Gold Wing. Next thing I noticed was no gear indicator. Nuetral light hard to see also. Then you start moving and really miss that 6th gear. After a 100 miles or...
Hey-- does anyone have a stock front saddle for a V2K lying around that they don't need? The one on mine appears to have repaired cigarette burns or something on it. The spots aren't open-- the repair seems to have sealed it off-- but it bothers me to have to see it. I'm a little anal about...
Changed oil today and overfilled by about 1/2 quart. TIP: Easiest way to drain ovefilled oil I found is by loosening the oil screen plug, let some run out and the tighten back up. Easy way to control the flow.
OK guys and gals, those of you that have upgraded your mirrors on your 900 Custom...show us your pics and where you got them. Let the photos begin... P.S. This is a self-serving thread...I'm bored with my OEM mirrors...are you? Steve
Hi Guys, Been searching this forum for a while, but cant seem to find the answers i need.... I want to try Mini apes om my VN800 classic, but dont want to go for new cables right a way... anyone know the maximum hight that will work with the OEM cables?
Anyone know the laws/restrictions in Ohio for colored underbody lighting?
Been 25 years or so since I've been on a bike. Rode dirt bikes for years as a teenager, and rode a CB360 a short while when 1st married. The wifey has been saying we need more together time, SHE asks about getting a bike! Wow, I fell in love all over again. So for our 29th anniversary, we decide to...
I have built myself a solo seat that I am finally happy with, I have got about 2500 miles on it. I have to touch up the foam from all the mods I have had to do to get it the way I like, but that is the easy part now. I haven't decided if I am going to tool in a design on the seat yet, just...
Hello all, first post here and first cruiser actually. Been reading up on lots of posts from you guys over the past few weeks. Last week i picked up a 98 Vulcan with 17k miles thats in pretty good shape. I rode it yesterday with no issues for an hour or so and came home and parked it. This...
So I took the baffles out of my V&H longshots. Sound great at idle and just putting around. Sounds like crap at highway speeds. A buddy suggested that I cut down the v&h baffle like 30%......anyone done this? I was looking at the big city thunder baffles, but I hate to spend 80 bucks or so with...
If all goes according to plan, and it should, I will be in Key West Saturday. We'll be riding 95 most of the way, so if there is anyone along the way who would like to visit, text what stop after we get off of 95 and text me your number. Also anyone in Key West looking to meet, please text me on...
Just a few pics of my latest addition. Show Chrome fender rail. Install was a little tricky but not too bad. I slid a sweat pant leg over the fender to protect it and used a 12 mm box wrench/ 12 mm socket with a universal joint and extention to unbolt and bolt it.. I used the blue thread locker...
anyone know who makes an aftermarket headlight bracket for a meanstreak 1600?
I was thinking of taking off my side covers and anything behind them. My thought is that it would open up the area behind the engine and look more open. Is that doable or is there items behind those compartments that I'd have to relocate?
Might want to pluck down a couple bucks on the Ohio Mega Million Drawing. 252 million will buy you a pretty nice bike!!!!!
Has this always been on the market? I don't remembering it being an option for the 900. The look is definitely different but I imagine it could look at home on the 900. MeanCycles - KAWASAKI - VN 900 - CUSTOM AIR FILTERS & ACCES. - S&S AIR KIT FOR VN900...
After much thought i was in the market for a new seat and liked the look of the saddleman profiler . But we can not get in the uk ! only one is the mustang daytripper @ 349 pounds :o . Found online in the usa a saddleman @ 220 dollars :P with 78 dollars shipping to the uk i took a chance on how...
