Be nice guys. This is probably not the make you prefer, but I'm a Kawasaki guy. Here's a few pics of my 900 Vulcan Custom.

When I first got, I took off the drag bars and added Classic bars.

Then came the apes and a different rear fender

Then I found that I had to have storage. Vulcan LT bags were added along with 3" riser extensions. Ape hangers are like a drug, you always want more.

Sweet. You're right about the Apes. i got a set on my Chief, and am wondering if I want some on the Scout.....

Looks good to me -- I have a pair of Harleys and three Indians -- but I also a 1500 Drifter, which is my fastest and most comfortable bike.

Nice bike, but I really dig your avatar.

Not my cup of tea, but not a bad looking bike. I prefer the Harley V-twin for a cruiser, not that the over the pond bikes are bad. My Dad went through a Gold Wing,A Vulcan, and a Nomad before he "settled" with his Harley. Hasn't bought another bike since.

I just got rid of my ZL1000...

I appreciate your honesty Trannyman. Your paint job is very nice. I've thought about doing some graphics but ended up just keeping with all black.

I had one for awhile that was black and chrome. I had mine hand painted about 12 years ago. It's held up well over the years.

Nothing wrong with Kawasaki. I have had everything from a H2 to a Hyabusa and a lot of chit in between.

I don't know what it is with Harley's V-Twin. It just seems to hit right. I rode my dad's Vulcan 1500 for a week or two and although it ran perfect and never gave me a problem, it just never felt right.

My buddy Dan in New Orleans loves V-Twin sport bikes. He finally got me to ride one two years ago and I was impressed. They don't have the top end charge of a 4 cyl, but they will pull hard and smooth out of a sweeper.

Nice bike. I ride a Dyna Wide Glide, but I want an Indian Scout so bad I can't see straight.

Here's my old Scout rigid project

I sold it when I moved (to buy carpet and such

). I got the hankering for a bike again and found a used 2006 Street Bob for $8500. I got approved and the they upped the price so I walked and bought the Vulcan new for $6800.

I figure if I ever have the need to move up, I'll keep the Vulcan rather than loose my asp. It's a comfortable bike and very cheap to maintain.

Here's the Street Bob that fell through
