    What a Spectacular Looking Ride!! I like the fact that your channel is for Vulcan S Riders! Im getting back in to riding after a 25 years so any information on them is greatly appreciated! Love this setup you got on this Bike! Cant wait to go traveling again! Its time to "Let the Good Times Roll" to be in Full swing! I love my Yamaha FZ6R but the old back is starting feel uncomfortable riding!!! Ride Safe!!

      Ride safe whatever you're on man

      @AusMoto Cheers buddy, I appreciate that. Just at the moment I'm still riding, but she's going away soon for winter storage as it gets way too dangerous with black ice, snow, salt & grit on the roads, for a road bike anyway.

      @SwenglishSteve1967 I have a slip on exhaust that was on the bike when I bought it ( I'm the third owner )
      When I get to 90kph it does scream kinda annoying now lol
      She is my first ever bike left it late I'm 44 now

      @paulieboscobyrne7548 It could be that the previous owner took the baffles out to make it sound louder, it's a very common thing, check the opening, you may be able to get a replacement, Also congrats on getting your licence & on 2 wheels mate, never to old to start & you picked a great bike to get rolling on 🫡

    So many people myself included all seem to settle on the same mirrors lmao 😅its just funny because their are so many choices, but we all fancy these, mine are kemi moto but couple other brands make exact copies, but I have seen at least several moto vlogers on utube that settled on these!!

      @josephgeorgeejr7039 Hi Joseph , thanks for joining the chat, Yeah I know what you mean haha, these are the same as on the Kawazaki Versys & are wider & far more esthetically pleasing than the originals, I've tried several different mirrors, these came out the best for seeing past my shoulders, I tried bar end's also but don't like looking down constantly, one still remains though on the left side, which I keep as all 3 of my mirrors seem to vibrate at different revs haha, so I have a choice, Do you ride a Vulcan yourself? Cheers

    Question: do you have a top or a bottom, cruise control device? Which one is better on a Vulcan S?

    • @SwenglishSteve650
      @SwenglishSteve650  Місяць тому +2

      @ghostmanlemagnifique9110 Hi & thanks for the question, I have a bottom item , If you look in my "shorts" you'll see the post I did about the Atlas & will see clearly that on the Vulcan S a top locking Atlas will block quick easy access to the kill switch , hope this helped

      Yes, this motorcycle is so awesome that I have bought a second one after almost 10 years and nearly 70k kilometers. :)

      @CFG93711 Hi Lisa, thanks for checking out the page, Yeah I even forgot to mention that mod in this video haha, I do have a 'short' on the drivers seat backrest also if you'd like to see it, the company is called Gymark & you can find them on Amazon or Ebay, If you're asking about the passenger backrest, I got that on the Kawasaki parts online store, or sometimes they're on Ebay, hope this helped.
      Cheers & ride safe

    Well anyone who questions if the VulcanS is big enough to tour on should definitely be signposted here. The number plate mod is illegal though.

    • @SwenglishSteve650
      @SwenglishSteve650  4 місяці тому +2

      @SloboloboVFR Hahaha yeah took some inspiration from the Ghost Rider , Its definitely big enough for 1 person, not so sure for 2 comfortably on a very long ride though, but it's an incredibly versatile bike, so many different ways you can mod it..
