pyrochickk,

You didn't mention if your 97 Vulcan is a VN1500A-C model, which is the 88, or a Vulcan Classic. If it's the VN1500A-C 88 model, then there are no heel/toe shifter option for it.
I was looking for the same for my 99 model 88 and this what I found out after my research. Now if you happen to have a 1500D, then you should be able to find the parts in a cycle junkyard or maybe on ebay.

Good Roads,
Jim

If you could post a fresh story including history, mileage, work done in the Cruiser section and not under 1500/1600/2000 heading, I might be able to help.

2005 Vulcan 1500 Classic Fi problems

Ok so I burned out my starter relay (it got water inside somehow) but the replacement keeps blowing its fuse. Oh and the bike is not getting spark. I know enough to get into trouble so I am searching for answers before just diving in. Any help would be great. Thank you all in advance.

Hey all, I am looking to pick up a 2006 kawasaki Vulcan Classic LT (VN2000F). I am trying to find what the range is and fuel economy for highway riding on average. I am also interested in hearing what kind of glass (octane level) do you use?

Thanks!

Can anyone point me to some explanation of what a "california custom" vulcan 1500 is? I have googled it but can't find any details. Is this a specific trim package for a classic series?

I think that's someones idea of their own work..............I don't believe Ma Kaw ever made a specific model called a "California Special".

Putting 12" ape hangers w/ 2" risers or should I do 14"w/2" risers? Which risers will work with my triple tree,as in fit the holes and whatever else it would take: bolts and such? Can I use HD, or another off a honda VTX or something? Looking for risers with the solid clamp on top.

In search of some advice, I have a 90 vulcan 1500. What I'm wondering is how or what can I do to reduce the chance of burning my left leg on the exhaust pipe that is vertical on that side. I have heat wrap and a shield but still is burning leg. Wondering I'd a smaller pipe would work

I have a 2005 1500 valcan nomad which I converted the air intake to the caddmann conversion I left all the air pumps in place you only hear them when it is cold when warmed up the bike sounds awesome

Horse power don't mean squat when you are talking about a big v twin what is important is the torque the bike makes

This Sticky is for specific questions, concerns and feedback pertaining to the the Vulcan 1500, 1600 and 2000 Models.

I'm working on a friend's 99 Vulcan 1500 and I can't get it to go above 75 bike runs good until I get in to 4th then it is b gutless I've never worked on a vtwin before. Any advice would help. I Cleaned the carb, changed the plugs. And changed the clutch fluid . my only guess now is maybe the floats need adjusted.
