Sticky: Constrictor's 62 Cent Rectifier Relocation Mod

After getting aftermarket pipes on my bike and ditching the stock goat bag, I knew the next thing I needed to do was do something about that ugly rectifier. I could spend $100 on a chrome cover for it and add some more chrome to my bike, but I saw some pictures, and I thought it still looked out...

Vulcan 800 Springer Chop Thingy WIP

Here's a thread on my little 800 project. Not sure what to call it, it has Chopper bits, and Bobber bits. I am following a slightly minimalist approach, but I like shiny stuff, so there will be Chrome. (You've been warned) Obligatory Beginning Pic: Parts is Parts:

Project "Saki Bob"

Well, I've been riding for 15 years or so, mostly sport bikes, but have always admired the VN800's. So right before Christmas I bought one :-D. Found a pretty good deal on a 98 classic, love the fat front tire, for $2k and it already had V&H Drag pipes on it. Looks like it will make a perfect...

Complete De-baffling of VN 900 Exhaust

Ok, I read the "how to" on the Delphi Knowledge Base but I didn't really understand it all which made me a little hesitant about attempting this mod. I was already at stage 1 (screens drilled) but I wanted more sound. I like the looks of the factory pipes and the heat shields are the best so I...
