AggieDave 6 #1 January 26, 2006 We've had a couple of threads that danced around this idea, but I can't remember one that was strictly a "post what you ride" type of thread. This is my 2004 Kawasaki Vulcan 800 Classic. Its been through a few changes and I know I'm not done with it yet. I've been living in a place where I can't really use my shop tools/welder, so things have been put on hold for a while. Whatever. As for whats been done, besides the obvious of pipes, carb work and a new saddle, I made my version of a pair of Z-bars, the sissy bar, chopped up the rear fender, made a bracket and relocated my LP and tail light, as well as a few other nicknack type changes (grips, modifying the controls, pegs and such). Anyways, what do you ride and what have you done to it if its not stock, please post pics.--"When I die, may I be surrounded by scattered chrome and burning gasoline."
