Kawasaki VN1700 Vulcan Vaquero - Overview

This is the first video in a series I will do on the Vaquero for those interested in getting one or those that have one but want to know more about modifications. I'm speaking ad-lib without any script or much forethought to what I wanted to cover so bear with me.

Here's some links to the items discussed for the Vulcan Vaquero from Kawasaki.

Klock Werkz Flare Windshield - 9" version is in the video. I also have the 12" which works way better but does not look that good. Makes things look like a touring bike with a full height windshield. I also like the Windvest Winshields in 8" version which actually works better than the 9" Klock Werks.

Kuryakyn Iso Grips - My particular set have a throttle cable ring from Racin' Ray - If anyone can post a link to his place of business that would be appreciated. The ring speeds up cable reaction to grip rotation so you're turning the grip less for more throttle.

Mean City Cycles - Seat modification and recover work.

Michalinan Commander II Tires - Normally I buy all mine from Rocky Mountain ATV and MC. They have very good price, crazy fast shipping and lots of product like this in stock. I run the 180/65B16 on the rear. Front on mine is a 130/70B18 but stock is actually a 130/90B16.

Rear Lowering Links - Sold by Luverne Kawasaki on eBay. There's a thread about them on Vulcan Bagger. There's a bunch of negative comments about general statements on lower links that has nothing to do with these really. These are built well and work great. There was a version put out that includes a "bag spacer" to move the bag out away from the shock because someone's shock rubbed a hole in their bag. The "Vaquero version" is $10 more because it includes the spacer. I didn't even install the spacer and nothing touched the bag so take that for what it's worth.

Kawasaki Aux Lights - I paid $222 so looks like the price went up.

Kawasaki iPod Adapter - Is only made for the 30 Pin Plug so you need the Apple adapter to use a lightning equipped iPod. Buy that direct from Apple so you don't get scammed.

Kawasaki Rear Seat Back Brackets - Requires brackets and the backrest to complete the package.
