Yeah the p/o had it colored to an E instead of an F but i figured i don't want to push my luck with chp so I cleaned it off so at least it is legal. No one at work or shows ever notices the F the mind plays a game an they always read it as DRIFTER till i tell them an on second notice they see it as is lol In bringing her back to pretty i added these grips last night :-D

KA That drifter looks nice but the way I ride it would not stay nice for me..

The number plate DRIFTFR..If you just move one of the mounting screws an inch or so it will look like DRIFTER..

I will add pics tonight but. She is getting the factory bars put back on tonight with 4" risers so i dont have to shorten my cables after they have already been lengthened to accommodate the ape hangers. I will say though :hide: that i do very much like the feel of my ape hangers sooo, if i don't like the angle or the ride comfort of the beach style bars i am putting back on then i will just have my black apes chromed and re installed i like them allot i just hate that they are black an stand out as if they don't belong on my bike

Little dude can ride in front of me holding the bars like i used to with my grandpa when i was a baby..... wait they made that illegal?! Fucking liberal assholes with a law against everything lol.. I totally agree with that i hate football and the role it plays in schools all over the country in all age ranges. Hockey is my favorite

  And the little dude is going to ride where?  Ducks colours...........mmmmmmm.......ok NHL is better then NFL......

A good cleanup & tuning will do wonders towards that problem!


kawasaki.addict

Thanks allot pc :-D. I just read the walk through.  This bike sat for 3 years so the carbs need work anyway. I am gonna do that mod and the car jetting mod first off. They said it really brings the bime to life. This bike is nice as is but she bought a 750 instead of the 500 bc we want to ride long days of fun rides but this 750 stocm has less balls than her previous 500cc bike did

Nice score!

One thing that a lot of people do to enhance the looks of those bikes is called an "ear shave".  It basically involves removing the air boxes under the front of the tank and moves them to a less conspicuous place.  There's lots of info on this ( https://www.google.com/search?newwindow=1&q=vulcan+750+ear+shave&oq=vulcan+750+ear+shave&gs_l=serp.3..0l2.27644.34226.0.36019.14.14.0.0.0.0.84.939.13.13.0.ckph...0...1.1.56.serp..3.11.803.TD6rOqLLF8I ) and it really lifts the looks right away IMHO.

1999 vulcan 750 for $700!!!!!!! We scored she is ugly but so was my drifter a few months back.  We are gonna paint her proance black and white for the nhl ducks theme.



pcarrell

What did the old lady end up with?


kawasaki.addict

Thanks my wife is so jealous of her sexyness that she went a bought a vulcan of her own so she can ride with me and we actually spend some time together
