So how is the vulcan? What made you choose it over the harley?
Is it faster, smoother, more popular? Less money?
I'd really like to know how they compare.

The Bike is Great!! No complaints... To be Honest.. it was all I could afford at the time. I would like to one day own a Harley, in fact I passed on an Ironhead to get this one. It was a kick only though. If I one day own a harley I will probably keep this one as well.
Faster? Maybe a stock Harley. it's only an 800 and I keep up with my buddies... almost.... and they have work done.
Way smoother. I sat on my buddies Harley and shake shake shake.... this thing is smooth (my buddy said like a couch) soft I guess.
There seems to be a following for these Vulcans and the club I belong to has over 30,000 members to back that up. That's where I get all my mod info
I paid WAY less for this. You can find an 04 for like 3000 - $4000. or less. My Buddy paid $10,000 for a 95 Harley softail.
I like it. it's easy to work on. It's just like a softail. You can do anything to them and they have just as many parts available for these as they do a Harley.
I get a wave or thumbs up everyday from someone passing by. and when I'm parked, I usually get the questions..... What is that.... Who did the work..... What kind of frame is that.
If you want to know anything else... let me know.

If you dont mind me asking, how much money did you invest in getting your bike to look like this not including the price of the bike and your time you put in fabing everything up? I love the way your bike looks, thats exactly how I want mine to look, and was just wondering what kind of cheese it was gonna cost me.
Thanks
