yeah...that was me...and I would do it again in a heartbeat.  The bike really benefitted from the increased torque....hp is about the same, but the torque is about 11 ftlbs greater....noticeable difference.  I used a new 1600 out of a 2003 Vulcan 1600 that had been wrecked.  I had to keep the throttle body and intake setup due to different tank/fuel line configurations and the 1600 has an inner stator that I left disconnected (has 2), but otherwise, absolutely no issues swapping them.  didn't need change the ECU either.  engine runs smooth and gets me 40mpg with a Baron's air filter and V&H Longshots set up as duels.  No power module, either.

Yeah, as far as I know, someone else on this Forum has already swapped a VN 1600 for the 1500.
But I can't remember who!  :(
