Hello, Everyone. My name is Jesse. Just joined and thought I would put a message out here. I liked to post a picture of my bike and myself out there but since I live in Massachusetts my bike is all covered and put away for the winter. To let you all know what I have for a bike (2008 classic 900 LT) that I bought brand new.

Thanks from Columbus, OH. Just came in from clearing another 6 inches of snow and it's still snowing. Hope spring comes soon.

Hello from Northwest Ohio. I also have a 2008 900 Classic LT. Bought it back in Dec 2014. I haven't had much time on it yet, but looking forward to putting some miles on this year. This is from the day I picked it up.

Re: New to Forum

boy welder, thanks for the reply. The picture looks good. As you know I bought mine new. I have almost 21,000 miles on it and have had no trouble with it at all. I ride as often as I can but I most confess I like my weather conditions somewhat on the good side. I hate rain and I like the temperature above 45 degrees. I've done a couple of upgrades to mine. In 2012 I put a mustang seat on it. One of the best purchases I've made. My rump on longer gets sore after about an hour like it did before. In 2013 I purchased a set of cobra exhaust (speedster splashdown) pipes. In 2014 I purchase a cobra freeway bar and kuryakyn pegs. Don't know the next upgrade. I love my bike and good luck with yours.

Re: New to Forum

Thanks for all the warm welcomes. I've been looking at some of the forums and so far I'm enjoying what I'm reading. Even made some comments to some of my fellow Vulcan riders.

I have my eye on either the Mustang or Ultimate Seat. Not sure if I can swing the almost $700 cost though.

Re: New to Forum

Yes I know what you mean about the cost. I was lucky with my mustang seat. They are made right here in Three Rivers, MA. Three Rivers is a precinct of Palmer. It is about 10 minutes from my house. I was fortunate when I bought mine because at the time one of my sons friends worked there. The employees get discounts and are allowed to buy 1 seat a year. My seat went for about $600. I got it for $255. Glad I got it then because my sons friend left the company after that. Don't know anyone there anymore. When I bought my cobra pipes I got them thru my local Kawasaki dealer here in Palmer. Since I bought my bike from them they give me anywhere from 10 to 20 percent off everything I buy. The more I spend the higher the percentage. I got 20% off the pipes. I don't know much about Ultimate. All I can tell you (as I mentioned before) I love my mustang seat. It was one of the best purchases I made.
