bikeaholic, I've seen your handle somewhere else, you must fequent other bike forums.

The 800s a great bike, I haven't had mine too long but I've ordered a Mustang saddle to start and we'll take it from there. Take care.

yea,i go over to motorcylcle usa forum now and then and the h/d forum once in a while but i think i'll hang out here for a while cause i'm liking a dedicated kawi board and since its new
it may develope into an excellant source of info-looks like there is already some guys hanging around that know these bikes and maybe i can learn something-its been a while since i had a metric :lol:

v800....you are going to love that Mustang seat. since i got mine i can ride forever....before back hurt in 15 min. oh yea i got the back rest with it.

 

[vulcan800]

I've only heard good things about the Mustang seat. I'm getting the solo as I don't see me ever carrying a passenger. I'm a new rider at 63 and my wife is way too smart to ever ride with me.

Welcome to the site .

I ride an 800 also, it's not about what you ride it's about "The Ride".

BTW if your wife is so smart why did she marry you ? :lol:

 

[mbrubin]

[Classic800]

I just picked up my 2004 800 Classic on Friday night. I had the 2002 Nomad 1500 a while back and this one is just as nice. The power is incredible and so far I love it. I got the blue color, and I had them put the windshield and kuryakn grips on for me. So far I like it a lot. Can't wait to get through the break-in period so I can really see what she's got.

little mods you can get some real low end punch :lol:

Mustang seats

I'm looking at the Mustang Wide Vintage Two-Piece Touring Seat - Vulcan 800/Classic
http://www.cruisercustomizing.com/category.cfm?model_ID=19&category_ID=1

Any of you own that seat?

Is it a good investment?

I cant stand mine and the wife won't sit on the brick behind me, that takes some of the fun out ot it,

Tired of butt hurting

 

[bikeaholic]

re

i don't have that one-i have the solo saddle but i can tell you they are great seats
and fit well.i think its the first mod to do is get rid of that factory POS :lol:

 

[Roger]

Duffy,
I just bought that seat for my 800A about 4 months ago. I've only put about 200 miles on my bike since, but the Mustang seat is far better than the stock one was on my bike. I bought my seat from allgear.net for $346. Saved a few bucks, and they even sent me a free shirt. You might want to check them out too.

[woodchucks800]

New guy to the forum just found it , got a 02 800a with a few mods these bikes are a hoot to ride in the twisties , also for anyone interested I have the corbin gunfighter with the removable drivers backrest and it's a comfortable improvement over stock which sucks. Dwaine
ps if anyone wants to know about some of the performance mods iv'e done just ask.

 

[FireNSteel]

Yep....I ride a VN800A
