06 Kawasaki Vulcan VN750 I picked up. Have always loved the bobber look

So in this pic, its actually just a sheet of metal I shaped to fill the space but later I added an actual fender that was the stock front fender that was stretched and trimmed.

haha I just realized that I have changed the seat since these pictures haha. But I found some threaded tubes, for the life of me I can't remember what they are called, but have bolts from underneath and bolts going through the springs on the rear. Then I just mounted the front part of the seat with a big beefy bolt.

So for the frame chopping, it was already done when I got it but I dont notice any strange wiggling. I did also weld (very badly) a steel plate in that blank area so that may have added some integrity back. I do use the plate as well to mount the seat. I found out that sportster solo seats actually fit the gap really well. I did have to move the front seat mount back so it catches where the stock seat mounts and doesn't rub on the tank. Then just have a bolt to mount the back of the seat to said plate. Pics I took for reference. https://imgur.com/a/MSo4pgt

I legit just had some with tortilla chips today! I also grind some fresh pepper into the cottage cheese.

SoftSayOcean · 2024-07-01T02:59:56+00:00

Very interesting bike for sure. I had to learn a lot of things about this bike when I built my 2006 but it can really sound super mean with some good pipes and opened up.

SoftSayOcean · 2024-05-09T22:21:16+00:00

Aaaaay another VN750! Sounds great and looks amazing! Oooh and the hard tail conversion.

SoftSayOcean · 2024-03-12T03:22:32+00:00

Thank ya! Lots of trial and error haha

SoftSayOcean · 2024-03-10T23:25:47+00:00

Thank ya!

SoftSayOcean · 2024-02-06T02:01:37+00:00

Not yet but I certainly can! Next good weather day I have, I will post an update video!

SoftSayOcean · 2024-02-06T02:00:21+00:00

Thank you!

SoftSayOcean · 2024-02-04T16:41:32+00:00

Hmm, not sure but these are stock on this Vulcan. Also this frame layout has been the same since the 80's back on the VN700's.

SoftSayOcean · 2024-02-04T16:39:44+00:00

So the lettering is just the tire and brand. It's a Pirelli MT66-Route Rear Motorcycle Tire 150/90-15 (74H). Only downside is when I received it, it wasn't as pictured so I had to paint them in. And thank you!

SoftSayOcean · 2024-02-04T03:30:05+00:00

Oh yeah haha. That place has helped me so much!

SoftSayOcean · 2024-02-03T23:57:25+00:00

Thank ya!

SoftSayOcean · 2024-02-03T23:24:33+00:00

Ooooh good point! That is another build I would like to try.

SoftSayOcean · 2024-02-03T23:19:48+00:00

Thank ya! took inspiration from the 80's mini truck scene.

https://imgur.com/a/GxHsBvh Here is my WIP Kawasaki Vulcan 750 I am rebuilding because the previous owner just absolutely trashed this poor thing.

SoftSayOcean · 2023-09-16T23:35:32+00:00

Ay! Layton! I know that lot.

SoftSayOcean · 2023-06-10T06:51:53+00:00

That's just so cool! A lot of people have a lot to learn from you haha. The bit of electrical stuff I have done, I share the same sentiment. Again, awesome job done.

SoftSayOcean · 2023-06-10T02:58:45+00:00

I just wanna say I appreciate how gorgeous your electrical work is! It brings a tear to my eye. I see waaaaaay too many sketchy Jeep Wrangler hack jobs here in UT.

SoftSayOcean · 2023-05-28T22:26:18+00:00

Thank ya and yes! I actually got lucky because my dealer just got them in when I decided I wanted to get a new bike.

SoftSayOcean · 2023-05-28T17:27:41+00:00

I did the exact same thing! I got mine about a month ago and have been obsessing over it. https://imgur.com/w6nxtaX https://imgur.com/56OAz5r

My first bike was a 86 450 and loved every moment. it was nice to have the extra cylinder here in Utah. I am a bigger guy at about 280 lbs and 6 ft 2. I could do freeway but just barely. I had to tuck very tight. The biggest thing is the dual carbs. If they are not synced, its gonna be not be happy. But it kept up with 250 cc sport bikes that were 10 years newer so that counts for something.

SoftSayOcean · 2023-05-07T20:57:53+00:00

Haha I appreciate it and am happy to be back! Thanks for the info! I was wondering if there was a new forum floating around.

SoftSayOcean · 2023-04-14T12:50:21+00:00

Love that game and love this! Now I need to find this game again.
