Just thought I'd give a shout out to the forum dwellers here. Have been doing google searches on Vulcans and this site comes up over and over.
I've been riding for 5 years -- a Honda Magna and one sport touring bike, a Yamaha FZ1. Today I traded in my FZ1 for a mint 2000 Vulcan 1500 Classic with 6K miles. I fell in love. Stock bike except for a Mustang seat, running lights, windscreen and hard bags. Looking forward to many miles and safe journeys.
I'm just a bit nervous about the transition from lighter, 750-1000 cc bikes weighing in at 500 pounds, to the 1500cc 700 pound Vulcan, but looking forward to the learning curve. Any suggestions on books, links, or general hints and tips to make the rides a safer one, please feel free to reply. Thanks in advance. Cheers!
