I just bought a 2023 kawasaki vulcan vaquero. Matt Grey. And already had handle bar upgrade and exhaust and led front and rear turn signals. Needs tuned up. A lot of popping on deceleration. Dealership tried several 2 different relays for the hyper flashing. Didn't work. I heard that if ya fix that you might loose self canceling turn signals. Idk. Will be looking forward to more videos. Thanks 👍🏻
I have the Roaring Toyz Air Kit... I think I'm going back to OEM filter case with that K&N... Keep up the posts buddy... Oh, by the way, Rochester here...
I just had an idea. If they don’t already have them, find turn signals that are accented like your tear drop rear view mirrors!…anyways love the bike bro!
Awesome, buddy! About to buy a 2023 Harley Davidson Fatboy 114, but am about to change my mind. Hehehe Had a 1991 Low Rider Custom (Wine-berry Pearl Coat) and I sold it when I got a contract as a Test Pilot to fly with the DOS and Colombian Army for the "Drug Interdiction Program", so I had to sell it. It was really too small for me anyway, since I am 6' 1/2" tall weighing in at around 235-240. I was just about to buy the 2022 Kawasaki Z900 RS, which I have wanted since I was a teenager, but seein that I am now 62 yrs. young, I thought it best to keep both tiresom the ground. I have a 34 year old son Michael Jr. in the United States, a five year old Filipino-American son named Clarence Joseph (C.J.) after my Paw Paw, a eight year old Filipino-American daughter named Miyah Ernestine after my grandma, a step-daughter thirteen years old named Noa and I don't want to orphan them with my crazy 🤣 teenage stunts. Need to be around a long time to watch them graduate medical school (their dreams) and have their own families. Sorry for the long story, but just wanted to give you some insight on what's going on in my mind. Love that 2023 Harley Davidson Fatboy 114, but these guys at the dealerships seem to have increased the prices from what they share on their UA-cam videos. Then I get STUPID excuses like, "That must have been a 2022, blah blah blah!" It's really all about, he's a retired/veteran Marine (7 yrs.) and now a U.S. Army Aviation Maintenance Officer/Helicopter 🚁 Test Pilot, so he has a lot of money. LMAO 🤣🤣🤣🤣 You know what I mean! All joking aside, I would really love to have your honest opinion, as I have the money to buy either bike now. Just don't want to be sorry for making the wrong decision without having consulted some real experienced owners. Love your MODS!!! Please give me your honest opinion!? Thanks my friend! God bless 🙏 you and the family!🚁🚁🚁🚁🚁🚁🚁🚁
haha so interesting story and I believe this is a decision everyone reviews. They are two different bikes and probably about $10k apart when they are finished modding. I think it depends on your wallet and what you really want, maybe drive them both. Im actually looking at a MT 09 to change it up haha. Every new Harley or Indian I like it at least $20k.
@@AJXLMedia I have definitely made up my mind and it's going to be the 2023 Vivid Black Harley Davidson Fatboy 114. LOL 😂 Can't help it, as I love riding and the looks of a Harley Davidson! But a good friend just told me that they may be coming out with a new version of the Z1 Kawasaki from 1972 and if they do, I WILL buy one. The best of both worlds! One I can keep both wheels on the ground and the other not so much. Hehehe 🤣🤣🤣🤣 🙏🙏🙏🙏❤️❤️❤️❤️🚁🚁🚁🚁🚁🚁🚁🚁 Can't help it, I just can't get that Kawasaki Z900RS out of my mind. Loved to cruise on my Harley Davidson and the speed of the Kawasaki. Take care, my friend and drive safely! Too many nuts on the road nowadays! NO RESPECT! God bless 🙏 you and the family!

Hey just bought the same bike, I'm in Pulaski NY. Saw your NY plate.. Enjoying the videos, keep them coming. I've got freedom true duels, Ivan Flash, and 12" black handle bars, and integrated taillight I hate.
HaHa! Awesome. I drive through there quite a bit. Was at the wigwam @ sandy pond last week. I just ordered my freedom 2 into 1. I'm not sure I am going with the Ivan flash. There is a local guy that can dyno tune up up here; Logan something.
@@djparker1116 That's awesome, appreciate the offer. I actually just received my Freedom pipes 2 into 1. I think I'm going with a power commander for now. I'm not sure I'm a huge fan of flashing the ECU itself, I believe it will void the warranty. Keep you posted, couple vides coming out soon. Thanks for the feedback.
Can you tell me where you install the load equalizer for the led blinker bulbs? Found your videos while looking for different turn signals. I agree about the bug eyed comment 100%
I had the dealer install the lights for me as I didn't want to mess with the wiring. They didn't install the load equalizer as they stated the load equalizers get very hot. Maybe talk to your dealer door what they use. The lights blink al little faster but it doesn't bother me. I would still buy the lights again.
I have a 2019 voyager................nice vid man! FMB choppers makes bars for our bike. Check them out too. I have the Ivan's flash and Freedrom performence exhaust..........my bike is on my channel if you wanna see it. I also have a 10 inch curved wind vest screen. Nice upgrades you did. Kuryakyn highway pegs too work well!
There is a factory option. You could also get one custom made, there is one on ETSY I think if you search UA-cam for custom sissy bars for Harleys and give him your measurements. I was working with a guy but can't remember his name. Good Luck and let me know how you make out! Edward something?
Awesome! I would test drive the bikes before you buy if you can. I rode two different Harleys this weekend, it is a completely different bike. Also, much more money lol.
I have JSRs on mine. THEY SUCK!!!!!!!!!! You better have freaky long arms or really enjoy leaning way over your tank while riding. 15 minutes and my lower back is killing me! I tried leaning them back as far as you can and not have them hit the tank, now your wrists are in a very odd and uncomfortable angle all the time. 100% the WORST thing I have ever done to a bike! I have no idea how any normally proportioned human can think this are comfortable in any position you can set them up in. My wife hates them as well. I have let 6 people ride my bike, and even tried adjusting the bars for them, they all said the bars SUCK. I actually can not find anyone that has sat on the bike or ridden it that thought the bars were actually good. Im going to have custom bars made that replicate the stock bars but move the grips up 4 inches and back 3. This should actually be comfortable to ride and still look good. Go look at the Chucksters customs intake adaptor for a Honda intake. I have it and its way way better than just a K&N filter in the stock housing. I had that also. I have The Ivan flash. DO IT!!! It's worth it. I have the Freedom Performance true duals and LOVE THEM. Bike sounds great! And it performs better with them as well. I got rid of the Corbin seat that came on my bike. Was like sitting on a board!!!! Hard as a rock, and supper uncomfortable. I converted to the Voyager seat and found a mint condition factory option Gell seat for it and LOVE it. Way better than that crap Corbin seat. AS for your mirrors, they look sweet! But I do prefer safety over looks and they are just to small for city riding. I actually love the view the OE mirrors give you, but do hate the look of them. I have not found a good option yet that looks good without the mirrors being really slim or small.
@@AJXLMedia Mine where great for height. But they where just way to far away from me. And so I felt like I was leaning over my tank the entire time I was riding and this hurt my back. This is why I leaned them back as far as I could, but that just resulted in my wrists being at an uncomfortable angle. And I still felt like I was leaning to far forward and not comfortable.
@@BadmunkyWRX So I've road mine for about 1.5 hours adjusted now. They seem to fit me ok, I pulled them back where they wont hit my windshield. Ill let you know after more riding.
So this is a very large bike that I would not start on. It weighs 900 lbs. and can tip very easily. Learning on a smaller bike like the 900 would make more sense. I learned on a crouch rocket (Yamaha R6) and also an enduro Kawasaki.
I wouldn't, just for the fact that it's such a heavy bike. Your first bike, you'll drop...multiple times. Buy a cheap bike that won't hurt your feelings when you get a scratch on it. These bikes are heavy enough, that if you lose your footing and the bike wants to tip over, your not going to stop it. I started on a 600cc Honda shadow, moved up to a yamaha venture and have had a dozen other bikes. I currently own a vaquero, street glide and still have the yamaha. Start small and then go big. Happy riding!
@@ryanbrown621 I agree the bike is too big and heavy for a starter but I'm not one to steer anyone away. I learned on a FLR 650 Kawasaki which was really tall but I still did it.
Kawasaki 650s great little cruiser, also the Honda Sabre 1300, from 2013 and up are really cheap and plenty of power on highway. Good luck. I'm an previous stunt rider that's ridden just about every bike out there. Definitely stay with Japanese bikes, more reliable and best money spent. 👍

The pooping and deceleration can be fixed by the IVAN Flash; I had the same problem. Enjoy!
Cool enjoying your videos get my 2022 kawasaki vaquero next month down here in new Zealand 🇳🇿😀looking forwards to it

I actually just replaced all the turn signals and license plate with a custom dynamics setup but you have to drill it. Video coming out soon.
@@AJXLMedia if you ever want to hop on mine to see the difference the Ivan flash made your more then welcome to.

Ivan’s ecu flash won’t void the warranty. There are a few dealers that will send it out for you.
I mean. If you still got the oEm mirrors. I will buy them
haha no I dont lol; cheers!

Where can a newbie begin and learn " How to ride a kawasaki vulcon vaquer" first timer!
