Got a tip to further waterproof your Garmin. Get some hair spray and spray enough on a paper towel to make it wet. Then rub the hairspray on the seams of the unit. The hair spray will help form a seal. I have used exactly that method on My e bikes electric components. Not a single failure. It works.

I'd love to add the lightbar, but they don't come blacked out... I use the Kriega Drypacks on the givi racks, they look good in my opinion, but some people hate that I've made my Vulcan into a motocamper. Also have a quadlock on it for the phone. Just need to get me a tank bag and radiator guard now.

Thank you for this informative video! I have enjoyed your videos and I just subscribed to your channel. I've had a Vulcan S for about 4 months now. One of the major mods I'd like to make is to install the Arrow Rebel Exhaust. Do you think it REQUIRES a Booster Plug or Power Commander to be installed with it, or can I do a straight up replacement?

@trippontwowheels 4 жыл бұрын

James R You should be able to do a straight up replacement although I’d recommend a Booster Plug. It’s 1/3 the cost of the Power Commander, really smoothes out the power band, greatly reduces engine braking and it increased my gas mileage! Thanks for your question James, hope you subscribe. -Tripp

Thanks for the review of the mods. I think I'll get this bike but was a bit worried about the wind as I need to ride both in the city and long distance.. and I mean really long distance i.e. 700 miles each direction. Would you be able to share more information on the different wind screens and how that affects your riding on the Vulcan. Cheers.

So much depends on your height. I'm 5-11 and have the Large OEM on my bike. Honestly, for 700 miles each direction you may want to look at a bigger bike. You'd need too many changes to the Vulcan S to make it worth your while. IMO. Thanks for your question Perttu, I hope you subscribe! -Tripp

I have to do a video on my mods which are quite similar but not so many. One thing you should look into is replacing the back light with the Puig tidy system and also change the blinkers with LED ones which is the next thing I will do.

First, I like your Vulcan S and the mods, very tasteful and proportionate to the bike, not gaudy like some others I have seen. I almost bought a used one last fall, but asking price did not justify what was essentially the basic bike. I ride an EN 500 that I am very happy with. A Honda convert, if you can believe it ! I hope I am within your target number for the Shoei helmet giveaway. I cannot afford a $$$$$ helmet, but it would be great to win one in a draw. Great vid, I am looking forward to some prime youtube viewing.

i spent 1200 dollars all together on the givi monokey system.... fully half of that was a matching pair of trekker 33s (33 liter hard cases) and it was worth every penny... with givi monokey you have to realize you only need to buy those cases once.... the system to mount them to the bike needs to be bought for every bike you own/ move on to... but the cases will mount to any monokey system. and if you eventually buy bigger and smaller bags you can adapt to what space you actually need. if you have the 22 liter cases you can throw those on when your only going ona day ride and want to bring your lunch or some water with you.. or if your going to go and pick someone up... you can load the 44s on a monokey and store 2 full faced helmets if needed.

Good video . I wish you would have stated prices and sellers for all mods . I recently purchased a 2015 Vulcan s abs to replace my 2001 Vulcan 750 . The 750 is a superior bike compared to the 650 s and any other cruiser I've owned . I still love the Vulcan s and plan on customizing it to be the perfect mid sized cruiser / touring bike . I found the givi side cases but can't find the mounting hardware and brackets . Also unable to find a Corbin seat for this bike . Any input would be helpful .

I also have the STS Smart Turn on my Bonnie. Had the same problem and it is down to those soft rubber pads you need to put in the switch to stop it latching, sometimes they dont crush enough to switch the indicator on thus you have to push harder. For now I have put a couple of small springs in each side of the switch out of an old pen and it works fine...for now... but these being small could tip and jam (as I foresee it) I have therefore ordered conical springs from Ebay 8 mm base dia. 5mm top dia. and 5 mm high. These cannot tip . I am still waiting for delivery and I will post again here and let you know how they fair. The Smart Turn is superb so dont despair I promise you it is the switch.
