Hello to all fellow Vulcan riders. I'm a recent purchaser of a brand new 2009 Vulcan 900 Classic LT. I got a great deal from the local dealer on one of the leftover new 2009 models. It is the most comfortable bike I have ever ridden (once I replaced the stock saddle with the Mustang one-piece). I swear I didn't feel my ass for the first two weeks I had the bike, lol. I have since added a Cobra highway bar and some Kurakyn Wing pegs to replace the stock passenger pegs. I plan on new pipes soon to add a little more growl to the motor, along with other chrome "bling" pieces. Not looking to modify the engine too much as it gives me plenty of torque to get from A to B. Anyway, just saying "Hi" and I look forward to meeting some of the local members for a ride. It will be nice to get away from the Harley "brainwash" culture and ride with some quality metric bikers. Until then...

Welcome to the forum, Great choice, and thanks for reminding me I need a new freaking seat, lol the 200 miles I put on her the other day did a good job of that though, just looking for the right stylish 2 up seat to come along

Yes, my brother, a good seat was the best addition we have made to the bike. I highly recommend the Mustang seat line for comfort. Our new seat has more than doubled our riding range before the required "ass breather". lol. Good luck on your search. I understand the need for the right style. It sucks being such a slave to the cosmetics of our bikes. I feel like my lady picking out the right shoes to wear sometimes.

this is funny but so true, i've found a guy that you send you stock seat to , and he remakes it the way you want, for alot cheaper than a new seat, thinking I am gonna go this route... I'm pretty south in GA like on the freakin boarder, so I may be doing some rides with the FL chapters if they'll have me along the way you should get involved with the central FL chapter, my grandparents live in Lackland so I'll be down by Tampa, and plan on Daytona this year!

Re: New member from the Tampa, Fl area.

Just a note about getting a stock seat reshaped or even having the stock seat form replaced with better foam. Some local custom auto seat rebuilders will do the job in a day or two and at good prices. If the shape changes enough, they can even make a custom cover for it.

Especially during riding season, an extra week for shipping can mean a lot.

I hear ya Fly, this guy takes a $100 core charge up front, then refunds it when you ship him yours back... Lately though I've been thinking more like you, lol , I got a good knife, some extra foam, spray adhesive, fridge full of beer and a good staple gun... might go out on a limb and try to tackle this one myself, what ya think, any tips?

That sounds great. Let me know when your in the area and we will roll together....

I'll let you know for sure, and I'd deffiently be interested in checking out the gun shop you were talking bout in the other post, you planning on Daytona at all?

I've never done Daytona. Would love to check it out. Let me know when you want to check out the shop. Guns are a passion and possibly my next career.
