Hi all this is my first post I have a 2001 800 classic and time to change front pads my question is does the front tire need to be removed to get caliper off. Thanks Roadruler
This happened about a week or so ago. I was riding home from Crimson Frog Coffeehouse, because I'm a biker poser. And I was riding up the Camp Hill Bypass past the Radisson Hotel. Well, on my left there's a stop sign with a bus behind it. I made sure he was stopped, and continued to cruise on...
I apologize in advance if this topic has already been covered. I did search the forums with no luck. I recently installed a beautifully loud set of Cobra Speedster Slashdowns on my 08 Vulcan 900 Custom (purchased late May and have over 1,500 miles on her already). Everything is great EXCEPT for...
What could it be?
Today I wound up riding the bike to Home Depot. I never thought that would happen since normally I take my CR-V to lug stuff. As we pulled in, I could feel the eyes of those in the parking lot looking at us like we were nuts. It was a beautiful night here in NJ so we decided to take a ride. ...
I need a front fender for my 1999 Vulcan 1500 Nomad. Don't really want to pay $337.00 at a dealer.:eek: Anybody have any suggestions?
For all those out there that responded to Bobs announcement of a chrome pulley for sale, I have it but it is still on my bike (too busy to remove it) I do have a local guy who wants it and is being patient. If however he decides to move on I will sell it to the people in the order Bob lined up....
Hi all, I've been lurking around for a few days reading up on Vulcan 900s. I currently ride a Honda Shadow VLX and I'm feeling like it's time to move up. This will be my first new bike purchase so I could use some advice. I've found a "new" 2007 Vulcan 900 Custom at a local dealer. Over the...

Hey All, I'm planning on ordering a Cobra Fatty Freeway Bar for my 1600 Classic and am trying to figure out what kind of set up I need to order for highway pegs. I know I need 1 1/2" Kury Magnum Quick Clamps but from there I'm not sure. I'm thinking the Kury Longhorn Offset Peg Mount which is...

Anyone have a good (cheap) place to get this? I've googled but it doesn't seem to be as easy to find as I'd have thought.
A few days ago I saw a post about "Chicken Stripes", I'm taking the V2K in tomorrow for tire replacement and as I inspected the old tires I looked at my Chicken Stripe....it is about 3/4" both front and rear. That got me to thinking....always dangerous;) ....how wide are they on the VTX? Turns...
Good evening, all. I recently purchased a new red and black 06 Vulcan 900 Classic LT. This is my first bike and I cannot wait for the weather to break so I can get some decent practice time in before hitting the streets. My questions right now are about pipes. Is a Power Commander necessary...
Symptoms - Stall when clutch in and low revs. ie changing down gears. - Dark/Black sooty build up inside exhausts. The stalling seems to indicate lean while to black build up seems to indicate rich. Would prefer rich then at least i feel better about riding it this weekend...
