I swear I just keep going back and watching your videos. The vids are just so informative. Thanks! And you just seem like such a fun, optimistic person. I love your fearlessness when it comes to working on your bike. I'm not much of a mechanic, and it's very encouraging.
Thanks so much for your kind feedback 🥰 I love making videos so it's awesome that you are enjoying them. I'm definitely no mechanic either so if I can do it... anyone can right? 😁
Oh, I forgot to mention that the reason I've been watching is because I'm debating whether or not to get a vulcan. Well, I would have to say you've convinced me 😂. Thanks for that, too. Come to Kentucky USA and ride some cool, hilly back country. 😊
Yeah??!! That's awesome! It's a great bike. Hopefully you'll love it as much as I do. Get ready for all the mods lol! You'll have to film some Kentucky country and put it on youtube so I can see what I'm missing out on.
What a cool video ! Some of these mods really are freaking awesome. That Hoglight is oh so pretty, and that tail tidy is something I will likely steal from your list !
That led headlight upgrade was amazing. Definitely want to do something like that for both the Griso and the cb125e. Cruise control is good and gives your wrist a break from holding the throttle.
The hoglight is seriously awesome Matt. Such a great mod. Love it. It'll be an awesome upgrade for your bikes I reckon. Do you have cruise control??? Which brand is it?
Another great video. Thank you for showing all your current, past and future mods. I have to use bar ends as I am a big unit and with the stock mirrors i couldn't see around my chest/shoulders. Having them mounted up rather than down makes a huge difference for the better. I love my backrest, I do sit all the way back in my seat and its so so good for my lower back. Have you thought about a horn mod. I was thinking of getting a Denali SoundBOMB from R&G or the Wolo Full Blast or even the Hella Super Tone. The current horn is a bit tinny I reckon. Cant wait to see the LED Plug and plays, will be interested in them for sure. Stay safe and keep the vids coming :)
Thanks Ian. I love that the Vulcan can be changed to suit any type of rider. Glad that you've made it your own! I've heard good things about the denali sound bomb. I had that in my notes as a future mod but completely forgot about it! Seriously can't wait to see the Hoglight indicators too. I'll definitely be putting a video out of that one! Woot woot! Thanks again for your lovely comment 😊 Ride safe!!
Thanks heaps for checking out the vid and my mods. I initially thought the exhaust was too loud... but seriously love it now. 😁 Oh and not sure why you didn't get a notification?? 🤷♀️🤷♀️🤷♀️
Yeah very weird. I might have to post a little message to my insta feed whenever I post a new vid in the future. I do it every now and then but not for every video.
The word 'over-capitalisation' comes to mind! hahaha Cool bike and cool mods - each one brings a little something extra to the bike - sometimes you wonder why they don't do these from production!
@@TheVSChick I was only teasing ya, just being cheeky - I'm the biggest hypocrite otherwise lol none of us need to explain our mods, we do them coz they suit us. Boats - well they're a money pit!!
The list is endless hey! Love the seat upgrade babe! Looks hot hot hot! Glad you can customise your baby to suit! Such a cool bike and the future mods sound bloody ripper!
Thanks for commenting. 👋 I'm pretty happy with the mods I've done so I was keen to share! I'm actually going to install another little mod tomorrow too so keep an eye out for a vid in a few days time 😁
Great video. The previous owner had the same bar end mirrors in the down position for mine, and that didn't work for me so I put reversed them and put them in the up position. Love it.
Thanks! 😁 The mirrors do look pretty awesome 😍 Maybe I should have switched them around rather than just swapping them out for the stock ones. When I run out of mods to do I'll give it a go!
Shock covers = Convaluted Boots.😂 Wow! your mods are so expensive compared to the UK. I saw a guy complaining on youtube about the price of your screen in the states $600.00 over here in the UK they are less than a third of the price £130.00 GBP. Generally the newer the vechicle the more expensive the upgrades, we have found this with a 2019 car of late to. we need to be careful with L.E.D lights as some of the annual MOT testers are failing the bulbs for having no definition. Thats a very cool looking headlamp unit though. makes you wonder why it doesnt come with the bike.
Your seat looks awesome, like the green stitching, however my seat is good, I have heard people complaining about them before, mine looks original, the bikes preowned so maybe first owner did something, a bit of a mystery.. I have two sets of spots so have fitted crash bars. Like the tail tidy, been thinking about it for a while, maybe after next tour, number plate cracked and just hanging on by one bolt, thats next.
Thanks Roger!! I absolutely love it. The stock seat is terrible so it's interesting to hear that you haven't had a problem with it. Perhaps you're right in thinking the previous owner tweaked it somehow. Either that or you have a bum of steal!!! Haha. Good job with the crash bars. And sounds like you need a tail tidy! Better keep that numberplate on somehow! 😁
I also have a versys 300X for the occasional jaunt off tarmac, and it’s seat is famous for being extremely uncomfortable, had it rebuilt now fine, cost a few bob, but well worth it. Lasted me 10,000kms touring Thailand couple years ago pre Covid, from top to bottom when my son and family came over for Xmas and New Year in Phuket. Hope to do some extensive touring up north on the Vulcan very soon. There are some challenging twisties and hills which are going to be fun.
@@ragbag46 That's awesome! I wouldn't mind a second bike to do some off road stuff. Maybe in the future. Touring through Thailand sounds great. I was over there a few years back and loved it. Would be awesome on the bike. Good luck with your travels!! I'm hoping to get out for a longer motorbike camping trip over Christmas. Good times good times.
Kuryakyn makes some nice floor boards. I have floor boards on my HD and they really allow you to move your feet around to stay comfortable. Have you felt the need to upgrade the suspension at all (like the Hyper Pro springs, front & rear)?
Thanks for your comment Kevin. I'll definitely check out the kuryakgn floorboards 🙂 Looking more and more like they will be my next mod I reckon. I haven't really heard much about how to upgrade the suspension on the Vulcan to be honest. Another area to learn about. Thanks again!!
Love your vids How bright is your hog light? I replaced my bulb and it made a huge difference but that doesn’t mean much because it was so dim. Also, be careful with the floor boards. They can impede your lean angle
Thanks Joseph! 😊😊😊😊 The Hoglight is super bright. Got my riding buddy to ride in front and let me know how they look at night. She reckons it's comparable to newer model cars with LED headlights. It seriously lights up the road!! Woot woot! Also thanks for the tip on the floorboards. I'll keep that in mind 🙂
I did the bulb also, went with a newer cheap passive cooled one and worked like a charm so far ($38). Gives off less heat than the original incandescent. Couldn't justify the cost of the hog as my night riding time is practically zilch. Put the Kurakyn mini floorboards on mine, changes the muscles you use to change gears, so added a heel shifter. The floorboards are slightly narrower than the peg (more lean angle) but don't fold. Haven't scrapped them yet to see what they do. In the distance.... watch for non OEM exhaust changes, read yesterday where in NY state they've just introduced a law to the effect that non OEM exhausts (or ones that you personally have to have verified for emission standards) can no longer be registered or something to this effect.
@@colincampbell3601 Thanks so much for sharing your thoughts. I hadn't really though much about how floorboards change the muscles you use. Interesting. And with the light bulb replacement... I had initially ordered one online but something went wrong with the postage and I never got it. Would have been hell of a lot cheaper than the hoglight haha But still happy with it. 😊
@@izzojoseph2 It's a bit annoying that there are so many different rules and regulations around aftermarket exhausts. Wish the bike manufacturers would just put decent exhausts on them to start with!!
Thanks! I'm actually not sure on the brand sorry. I bought the bike second hand, and the windscreen was one of the things that came with it. But! I did a quick google search and found this one that looks similar. bruceshark.com/en-au/products/win-k234-set
I'm not sure really. I did a quick google search though and there seems to be a few online that you can purchase. Just need to check that it works with your specific bike year
I have a sissy bar on my VN750. Don’t like the look, but my pillion riders really love it. I just call it the back rest. Also makes climbing on the bike more awkward for sure.
Your levers, beside the looks, are they easier to use than stock ? I find my clutch lever recistance and far play rediculously fatigue inducing, specially in town where u need to change gear all the time. I did adjust it on the minimal settings, but still not too happy with it.
To be completely honest... I didn't really notice much difference from the stock to the new ones at all. I didn't have an issue with the clutch resistance though so perhaps you could try adjusting the cable itself? 🤔
I have puig crash bars. They blend in nicely. I don’t like the chunky look either but they’ve already saved my engine. Oh and Sissy comes from sister not wimp But the only reason you’d need one of those is if you have a passenger I wouldn’t get one for yourself
Thanks for the info. 🙂 I literally had no idea why it was called that haha. Hopefully I don't regret not having crash bars in the future. Puig make some decent stuff too!
Yeah hopefully it's something we'll see in the future. I know they were working on plug and play indicators but nothing has come from it yet unfortunately 😕
Yeah it's still on the bike. I bought the Vulcan 2nd hand... the previous owner installed the booster plug so I have no idea if it makes any difference. Guessing not??
Yeah a little bit but very thankful that it was only low speed. Could have been much worse. Needless to say, I'm much more aware of what's happening behind me now
Hey! You did change your headlight to an led. But you haven't done your turn signals. I have some led turn signals brand new I could mail to you if you like. Cheers.
No sorry. The SH23 panniers arent quite big enough for that. There are other options though... Shad does a top box which apparently fits a helmet. I'm not sure about the SH36 panniers. You'd have to check. Good luck!!!
No worries. Thanks for the reply. I am on my Ls at the moment and based out of NSW and rules here say I cannot even mount the phone on the bike even for GPS... apparently
@@Leo_Fur_Lion Glad you were able to find the info you needed. 🙂 I don't really use my quadlock for anything lol. My phone is frikkin massive so it's just awesome that I dont need to try and squish it into my pocket lol. But yeah... use it as a GPS sometimes too.
I'm in QLD so it was great to hear about your mods that you've done as a learner driver. The exhaust/ fuel booster plug thingy, doesn't void the LAMS either? I was told Po-Po can fine you for a non-stock exhaust :(
Yoooo Queenslander!! 👋😎 Yep you're right... unfortunately any modification voids the LAMS. I made the choice to prioritise my safety (louder exhaust means traffic are more aware of your presence on the road). Ive never had any issues with the cops. I have my unrestricted license now so I can breathe a little easier these days.
That booster plug will make your engine smoother by enriching the fuel, but it will reduce horsepower from around 61bhp to around 57/58bhp it will also reduce your mpg. Only saying
I reckon my seat looks pretty awesome. Not quite the same comfort level as the corbin though unfortunately. I just got it done by a local guy. I actually changed the front sprocket on my ninja... but haven't done it on the Vulcan yet. Notice much of a difference??
@@TheVSChick oh ok , the seat looks very good and I'm sure it was cheaper to make locally than buying Corbin I'm yet to buy Vulcan so can't say about sprocket performance :)
Exhaust sounds great and it's something I'm considering. Unfortunately I live in Ireland and most mods need to be imported which drastically hit my wallet!
Yeah the delkevic is a great exhaust. Hopefully you can find a more affordable option there. I'd love to cruise around Ireland on a motorbike! It would be magic I reckon!! 😍
You look beautiful , can I ask you the Vulcan S 650 is this bike value for money how about the performance is it good and durable ? and the riding experienced - I've been planning to buy this unit of yours 2023 model hoping your advice ma'am fyi thank you . . .
It's a great bike in my opinion. Perfect for me and the sort of riding I do. Small enough to enjoy riding around town... big enough to get out on the road for a month packed with gear! Love it. 😁
I just really like the look of the vulcan. The triumph is a great bike but a little too big for me. (And expensive) I'd love to have a ride of one in the future though. Thanks for your comment 🙂
Yeah I might have a small problem! Haha 😬😁 I'm not sure about future bikes to be honest. I'll probably get my unrestricted licence at some point but for the moment I'm having too much fun on the Vulcan. Larger bikes kinda scare me though! All that power! 😱
I must say the glass on front is ugly i dont like to have one on mine..i seriously dont..BUT when you are riding long distances...its sooo much diffrence to have that glass then
Yeah totally agree! Took me a good few months of having it in the shed before I even put it on. Makes longer rides so much better though so I've grown to like it 😉
Excuse me miss but you forgot the one mod that will really make you stand out and indicate to your friends that you are trully stark raving mad. JATO units.....at least 2 for those epic burnouts NO one will ever forget. Cops willl never catch you dear. Cheers.
The plug doesn't make it LAMS approved its the throttle bolt that is the restrictor which is what allows it to be LAMS approved. The plug is just a diagnostic plug for the dealership. Considering it has the booster plug, it's been derestricted & has an exhaust its no longer LAMS approved loll
🙂 You're 100% on everything except the plug. There are obviously different regulations/laws etc depending on where you are... however in Australia there is a restrictor wiring loop that is connected to the diagnostic plug that talks to the computer... ultimately reducing the power by about 14hp. Having said that though... the other modifications are a little concerning. 😬😬😬
@@TheVSChick There is someone else with a video where they did some Dyno tuning on one of these and with the booster plug it actually made less peak power than stock

Cruise control is good and gives your wrist a break from holding the throttle.

@@TheVSChick I use the Atlas Throttle Lock on mine, not strictly cruise control but good for the motorway (highway)

cool! i have a 2021 and i can't install boosterplug :(
Ooooo a 2021!! Nice!
Hey! You did change your headlight to an led. But you haven't done your turn signals. I have some led turn signals brand new I could mail to you if you like. Cheers.
Aww, how very nice of you. 🥰 I wouldn't say no to some indicators... but don't you want them for your own bike?
Can you put a helmet in the Shad luguage ?
No sorry. The SH23 panniers arent quite big enough for that. There are other options though... Shad does a top box which apparently fits a helmet. I'm not sure about the SH36 panniers. You'd have to check. Good luck!!!
Hey, quick question @vs chick
Are you still on your Ps licence? If yes are able to mount your phone on the bike while riding?
Hey there! I'm not on my Ps sorry so I'm not sure about the laws about phones. Will depend on where you are located too. Sorry I wasn't any help!!!
No worries. Thanks for the reply. I am on my Ls at the moment and based out of NSW and rules here say I cannot even mount the phone on the bike even for GPS... apparently
@@Leo_Fur_Lion Glad you were able to find the info you needed. 🙂 I don't really use my quadlock for anything lol. My phone is frikkin massive so it's just awesome that I dont need to try and squish it into my pocket lol. But yeah... use it as a GPS sometimes too.
I have the sissy bar on vully and the crash bars they do add a lot of weight to the front of the bike
I've seen pictures of your bike Paulie and it looks awesome. 🙂 I just love that each vulcan can have its own unique look.
@@TheVSChick I'm really thinking about the harley type looking front fairing. I will definitely need windshield for her
Yeah I grew to love the windshield. It improves the ride significantly. The wind doesn't bother me at all now. It'll be a great addition for vully 😉
@@TheVSChick and with Irish weather it will help deflect rain off me also a bit I hope lol
Maybe you could mod an umbrella? Haha
I'm in QLD so it was great to hear about your mods that you've done as a learner driver. The exhaust/ fuel booster plug thingy, doesn't void the LAMS either? I was told Po-Po can fine you for a non-stock exhaust :(
Yoooo Queenslander!! 👋😎 Yep you're right... unfortunately any modification voids the LAMS. I made the choice to prioritise my safety (louder exhaust means traffic are more aware of your presence on the road). Ive never had any issues with the cops. I have my unrestricted license now so I can breathe a little easier these days.
I want the sissy bar and the crash bars for the looks. Also the leather bags for the same reason. I think I'm going for chunky.
I love how it's so customisable. The same bike can have a completely different look. A chunky vulcan will look awesome 👌
That booster plug will make your engine smoother by enriching the fuel, but it will reduce horsepower from around 61bhp to around 57/58bhp it will also reduce your mpg. Only saying
Any other mods? Maybe some green swarovski crystals. 🥰
Haha I could make it work 😄
@@TheVSChick love me a little bling! 💜
I love your spyder 😍😍
@@TheVSChick Thank you so much!! I will have to see about some purple crystals for my Spyder girl, lol
That looks like Corbin seat
Also I read people change front sprocket from 15 to 16 teeth
It helps reducing the rpm by 500 on gears
I reckon my seat looks pretty awesome. Not quite the same comfort level as the corbin though unfortunately. I just got it done by a local guy.
I actually changed the front sprocket on my ninja... but haven't done it on the Vulcan yet. Notice much of a difference??
@@TheVSChick oh ok , the seat looks very good and I'm sure it was cheaper to make locally than buying Corbin
I'm yet to buy Vulcan so can't say about sprocket performance :)
Oooo I hope it's on the shopping list!?! 😉
The Corbin is super $$$ I had it done locally for less than a 3rd of the price. Not bad I reckon
Exhaust sounds great and it's something I'm considering. Unfortunately I live in Ireland and most mods need to be imported which drastically hit my wallet!
Yeah the delkevic is a great exhaust. Hopefully you can find a more affordable option there. I'd love to cruise around Ireland on a motorbike! It would be magic I reckon!! 😍
@@TheVSChick cheers for the reply. Yeah Ireland has all the scenery....if the weather permits 🤣
Haha! Go away rain!! 🙏
I would get a reliable cruise control for long trips. And use quite a bit before going on long trips. Mos def
It's surprising how much your hands hurt after riding long distances.
New sub where in qld u from , be moving their in the coming yrs
Heya Brendan. I'm in Hervey Bay and loving it. Peferct weather to ride the whole year around... except this week! Won't stop raining!!
That’s quite a list of mods. Mine’s red.
Hahaha Red with a sponge cake seat 🤘
@@TheVSChick Birthday cake seat
Hahahaha
You look beautiful , can I ask you the Vulcan S 650 is this bike value for money how about the performance is it good and durable ? and the riding experienced - I've been planning to buy this unit of yours 2023 model hoping your advice ma'am fyi thank you . . .
It's a great bike in my opinion. Perfect for me and the sort of riding I do. Small enough to enjoy riding around town... big enough to get out on the road for a month packed with gear! Love it. 😁
IS IT THE SHAD?
Haha yep 🤘
I wanted to get one of these, but I think a triumph speedmaster standard blows it out of the water so why buy this and customize it.
I just really like the look of the vulcan. The triumph is a great bike but a little too big for me. (And expensive) I'd love to have a ride of one in the future though. Thanks for your comment 🙂
Geez, that bike’s had so many adjustments!
What’s the plan once you’re able to ride something with a larger engine?
Not that this bike isn’t great… ✌️
Yeah I might have a small problem! Haha 😬😁
I'm not sure about future bikes to be honest. I'll probably get my unrestricted licence at some point but for the moment I'm having too much fun on the Vulcan. Larger bikes kinda scare me though! All that power! 😱
I rarely use my cruise control on my Spyder or in my KIA...just don't like it. I use a cramp buster.
Is that a little piece that comes off your bars somewhere to lean your hand on???
Such great mods. I have to say the panniers look tops. They actually look OEM in my opinion. Some bags look like arse. Not Beyoncé’s arse either.
Haha so funny!! 😆 They look awesome hey haha
Hey VS Chick!
BOLT!! 🖖

@@TheVSChick 😂🤣😂🤣
Back rest is modern name, sissy bar is 1970's vintage name.
👍😎 Cool I didn't know that
Just take the windshield down to a local car window tint place and see if they can tint it for you instead of buying a new one
Oh cool. What a great idea 👍🙂
I must say the glass on front is ugly i dont like to have one on mine..i seriously dont..BUT when you are riding long distances...its sooo much diffrence to have that glass then
Yeah totally agree! Took me a good few months of having it in the shed before I even put it on. Makes longer rides so much better though so I've grown to like it 😉
Excuse me miss but you forgot the one mod that will really make you stand out and
indicate to your friends that you are trully stark raving mad. JATO units.....at least 2
for those epic burnouts NO one will ever forget. Cops willl never catch you dear.
Cheers.
Haha my next mod perhaps??? 🤪
Great list (s).
A sissy bar was literally a bar for sissy's. 🤣
Haha it's such a dumb name for it right? Hahaha
The plug doesn't make it LAMS approved its the throttle bolt that is the restrictor which is what allows it to be LAMS approved. The plug is just a diagnostic plug for the dealership. Considering it has the booster plug, it's been derestricted & has an exhaust its no longer LAMS approved loll
🙂 You're 100% on everything except the plug. There are obviously different regulations/laws etc depending on where you are... however in Australia there is a restrictor wiring loop that is connected to the diagnostic plug that talks to the computer... ultimately reducing the power by about 14hp. Having said that though... the other modifications are a little concerning. 😬😬😬
@@TheVSChick Just keep enjoying it !!
Definitely! It's a great bike 😁
@@TheVSChick There is someone else with a video where they did some Dyno tuning on one of these and with the booster plug it actually made less peak power than stock
I have these mirrors, complete garbage. I only have one now because the RHS kept falling off. Ebay rubbish!
Oh no! Haha. There are some rubbish items out there hey. 😬
@@TheVSChick will probably go back to the stock mirrors - time will tell
The exhaust is a mandatory change, stock is rubbish on the Vulcan!
Soooo true. The stock is super quiet
That's a thing? Running out of mods? 😂
More like running out of money? Haha
@@TheVSChick well, there is that, lol!
