[Checkered Floor Garage]

1996 Kawasaki Vulcan 750 - motorcycles/scooters - by owner - vehicle...

Bike needs some work, but has plenty of potential for someone with some know-how and time. I have the original title. It ran ok last fall but I haven’t started it up since then. Probably needs some...

Hopefully it didn't fall over on the left side and damage the shift lever linkages, or more importantly, the tie rod.

If it wasn't an absolute PITA to get the carbs off this bike, this could be a nice project. Check/clean the carbs, fix the mirror, and give it a good detailing.

I would rather get a colonoscopy then pull those carbs there both S___ty jobs

Eh, not that hard boys. But then, I wrench boxer four Wing carbs. Now where's that single carb conversion? 🤔😄

I took one look at the airbox setup and earshaved it. Chickened right out.

I like the dark windshield, looks like the Plexi-fairing.

I have the same windshield. It's a Slipstreamer from years ago. Nice, actually.

I also have a slip streamer and I really like it easy to install and I think it looks great. I have it on my 1995 bike my 1989. I forget what it’s called but it’s not as big but it does the job.

When I bought my Vulcan, I didn’t understand why there was a shoehorn in a little trunk now that I did a carburetor uninstall I know what it was for all you wrenchers with years of experience, have an advantage been there done that lotta little tricks and knowledge I have tremendous respect for mechanics the old-school guys not to say that the newer mechanics different times different technologies I can’t tell you if it’s better, or if it’s worse as far as the job goes

Slipstreamer! That's what I was trying to think of.

Two mandatory words for anything I ever buy in the future:: 1. Fuel 2. Injection

I agree. I was considering the RE Hunter, but the mark-up is insane up here.

Yes, that looks sweet. Enfields have always been classy in my book. And even though still made in India (I think) they have modernized dramatically in the last few years.

The king is Harley Davidson as RE's use Harley dealerships for showrooms. Outrageous mark-up.
