My Wife's Vulcan

[DanLong]

Here's some pics of my wife's '07 Vulcan 1500. I just put on a Baron Air Kit, PC3, and had it dyno'd. Got 73hp to the rear wheel, a huge improvement over the 56 stock. Roll on in 3rd gear from 40 to 80mph was pretty quick. It's no Connie, but she loves it.

I also have a BAK on my Mean Streak. Although it does contact my leg more than the OEM set up.

It's not too bad on her bike, I think the tank is a little wider than the Meanie so I don't notice it.

Nice.  I come from a 1600.  Loved it.  That's a nice bike, and THAT's a nice bike.  Must be great to have two in the garage!

Alekkas, I had a 1600 before the Concours too. The 1600 was a nice bike but not as nice as the Connie!

We also have 2 project bikes that aren't getting much attention anymore, an 86 Goldwing Interstate 1200, and a 96 Yamaha Virago 535. I'm hoping to have the Virago up and running over the summer, but the Wing just might be too big of a project for me, so I'm thinking about selling it.

I used to have a 01 VStar 650 Classic witch is a distant cousin of this bike way back that I traded in for one of my SV's.  What I got for it I should have just kept it but this was before I had MBD (Multiple Bike Disorder) and a lot more common sense.  Mine was the pretty metallic green and metallic silver cream color that was just gorgeous.  I also had the Baron Air Kit on mine and it made for a nice noticeable increase in power and I also had V&H slash cuts witch sounded really nice.  Also had a lot of extra chrome bits on it.  Despite being a 650 it moved pretty good and was only a bit busy sounding on the freeway.
