Really nice bike. I'm glad Kawasaki still makes this kind of cruiser in 2020. I wish yamaha still did the V star 1100. I'm looking into buying a used 2005 soon. My first cruiser. Stopped riding my super sport bike back in early 2013. Stopped cold turkey. Hope its not difficult to get back into riding and different type of bike. If I couldn't get an old yamaha, I would get this your bike , just wish it had dual front rotors.

Bike looks great, man! Did you by chance have to get new throttle, and clutch cables with the kickback risers? They look phenomenal on the Vulcan, and you've made me want some. Thanks!
With the risers I put on I did not have to buy new cables. If the risers were a bit taller, I would have to buy new cables. The risers make a big difference with the sitting position especially if you are tall. Ride safe! Max
Aftermarket LEDs are brighter than any mainstream brand like Philips. Hella dual horns oe get an air horn. LED headlight. Just be sure it has a DOT compliant beam and you re-aim it afterward. Hydraulic clutch mod but only if you have 20mm or better throw. Upgrade the front brake hose to remove some squishiness. Front overdrive pulley. Don't do the rear--Barons & others use trash aluminum that wears out after a few hundred miles.
Great Video! Would be great to get more details on the windshield installation along with the extra parts you needed to get to make it work. Amazon states it does not fit my 2012 Vulcan 900 classic, however, I trust it will since you obviously did it. Thanks again and miss your videos... need more ;)
Thank you Jose! I appreciate your feedback. It's a great idea to make a video about the windshield. I'll try to make one. I am working on a few videos, and hope they gonna be published soon. I guess I need to make the CZcams my full time job to make more videos. :) Can't do it yet, but we'll see ho it goes. Ride safe!

Very informative video. Thank you! I'm a beginner rider, interested in purchasing the Kawasaki Vulcan 900. I liked the color scheme of the model in this video...can you tell me what year and trim was it? Thanks....keep posting!! Subscribed 👌👍
The footboard does not hit or touch the pipe. The one I put has 5 positions that allow to move it up and also back and forward. It also allows to put it at some angle if desired. I did it parallel to the pipes. No heating issue at all. It is actually a bit higher comparing to the stock pegs, and also it is a metal board that protects from the foot from the heat relative to the original pegs. The rubber is thick as well. Feel free to check out my other videos. Ride safe! Max
Hi Darren, The original cables were just enough to put those risers. If the risers were a bit taller, I would have needed to install longer cables. I would recommend to remove the clamp (OEM part #92173-0165) that holds and guides the cables and wires at the top of the fork as it restricts their movement a bit, so it looks kind of tight, but it still OK even with the clamp. Ride safe! Max
K Max Video thanks for the info mate, I have another question for you... did you need to change the relay once you installed the taillight with an LED light?
Where did you get the bulbs? And for the risers my throttle side seems right but I could run under the trees but clutch side seems odd. You say it's enough with with stock eh?
I have some questions. How much do you spend in accessories in your bike. How much does the cost of you r driver Lights. Where do you buy your tires ???
Nice video Max, just purchased 07 Vulcan with 24k miles. Any recommendations on how to restore & polish the Chrome. Is not terrible, but the previous owner had 5 motorcycle and didn't have time to polish it. Thanks
As a fellow canadian I need to ask, where did you buy your seat, passenger backrest + sissybar combo? I'm having an extremely hard time finding the same acessories for my 2015 vulcan classic
I bought Cobra Standard Sissybar and Mustang Seats Vintage Pad For Cobra Standard Sissy Bar from CruiserCustomizing.com. Mustang Wide Touring Seat With Driver Backrest Kawasaki Vulcan VN900B/C 2006-2015 I got from Revzilla.com. It was a while ago though.

Nice ride Max!! I just installed a Mustang seat on my 900 Classic. Here’s the problem I encountered. The seat slides into the front connection easily and snaps into place in the rear but the back end of the seat does not fully rest on the fender. I am even able to give it a little shake when it’s on the bike. Any ideas why this isn’t a perfect tight fit??
Hi Litz. I did not have to change any of the cables, break lines or wires with these specific risers, but if you put risers just 1/2 inch taller or with greater pull back, you will have to replace cables with the longer ones. When you put new risers, I would recommend to remove the clamp that holds the cables in front of the top of the fork (part # 92173-0165, www.kawasakipartshouse.com/oemparts/a/kaw/5c755fb087a8661b00d99719/front-fork). It will free the cables a bit, and they are going to be perfectly fine and long enough for the free movement.
Nice to know. Someone wrote in a group that we have to be careful with pullback risers because when you fully turn the handlebar it could damage the dashboard cover . Does that apply to the risers too ?
Reza Munfaredi Hi Reza, the height of the sissy bar is: metal bar itself - 13" from the top of Mustang seat or 20" from the bolts where it is attached to the frame/fender. The pad adds additional 1". It is the Cobra Standard Sissy Bar (SKU: 02-5468 - cobrausa.com/kawasaki/vulcan_900_classic_06_13_1/motorcycle_accessories/sissy_bars_luggage_racks/standard_sissy_bar/02-5468/). Based on their specs it is 17", but I am not sure where they measure it from. It is their tallest sissy bar. I hope it helps. Check out my other videos and feel free to subscribe. More new videos are coming. Have an excellent day!
K Max Video Thank you for the quick and detailed reply! I'm picking up my 2013 900 classic today and needed a backrest for the wife to have her comfortable and safe. Subscribed!
I used Baron 4" Kickback Risers (www.baronscustom.com/catalog/display/3017/index.html). It moves the handle bar up and back. It really helped me to improve my sitting position considering I am pretty tall. No upper back pain, etc. I needed it especially after I installed Mustang seat as it moves you a bit up and back as well. I found that this combination of the Mustang seat and risers is optimal for me.
Hm, not sure, I agree with your decisions here. I mean the bike is or was perfect to begin with, why spend all that money on a bike that already is pretty much perfect already, is that not a slap on the face of Kawasaki to change all them add ons? I can see some things but not all no. Also again this will have cost you at 2-3 grand worth of add ons, defeats the purpose of buying an inexpensive cheaper Japanese motorcycle, I don't get it sorry, why not buy a bike that had all this on already?? So now you have a bike that was 8-9K new to 12-13K with add ons that now is worth only 5-7K depending on wear and mileage? I dont know Max unless you have some extra cash to spend, ride safe bro.
Agreed. That's why I specify that what I've shown in this video is the mods for safety and comfort. Pulleys and tires would be the next step. 🙂 Then new computer, intake, etc. The sky is limit for the mods. They start, but never end. Feel free to check my other videos. 🙂 Ride safe! Max
Hi Santiago. If you are looking for exactly the same bar, I don't think you'll find it now. I bought mine on eBay, but I can't find it anywhere at this time. Someone else asked me the same question a little while ago, and I could not find it again. I found it on a couple of sites though, but it shows out of stock. Most likely they are sold under different brand now. They are shown on the MC Enterprises website (www.mcenterprisesusa.com/products/search/dsp_searchForm.cfm), but the links are not clickable. I think the company is either was bought by someone or out of business. I think this is the closest to what I have: www.lindbycustom.com/engine-guard/unibar-14903-for-kawasaki-vulcan-900cc-classic-and-custom/:
I bought them directly from Viking Bags: www.vikingbags.com/vikingbags-overlord-large-side-pocket-motorcycle-leather-saddlebags-12315-prd1.htm Once in a while they offer good discounts, up to 40%. I like these bags. They come with all hardware. They have a hard shell covered with material that feels like leather. You can search if any other stores offer them, but I doubt. Viking offers a lot of good bags. Check the size. I was looking for bigger ones.
It is good to put it on the jack for any type of longer storage, winter, for example. It keeps the bike streight and takes the load off the tires. These days the tires are pretty good, but you still don't want to have any potential damage to the tires because of the bike staying for a long time in the same position at the angle with all the weight on the tires. If you ride it every day, there is no benefit to put it on the jack in between.
Those are Avon Air Cushion Grips. They are good and not expensive. You can get them from Amazon, Revzilla, JPCycle, and many other places. For example, here www.revzilla.com/motorcycle/avon-metric-cruiser-air-cushion-grips. Frankly speaking I don't remember where I bought them, but I would say check the current pricing and delivery options, return policies. Ride safe!
I really liked your video and used some ideas for my bike, thanks. So after I’ve installed windshield, I’ve start noticing strong vibration of entire motorcycle on a highway only.
Thank you for your feedback. As it relates to vibration, it might have something to do with the angle of the windshield or the gap between the windshield and the headlamp. I would experiment changing the hight and angle. You might also feel buffeting from the wind coming from the bottom around the gas tank. A lot of folks do lowers to get rid of that buffeting. I am doing it right now as well and will publish a video when finished. Ride safe.
If you are referring to the headlight, it is brighter because of better design, materials and quality. It is still the same wattage as recommended by manufacturer. This is an OEM part specs: "92069: BULB,12V 60/55W, H4 92069-0050". Philips bulb I used have the same specs. No need to worry about the fuses. Ride safe.

How beneficial is it to keep the bike up on a jack when not in use?
It is good to put it on the jack for any type of longer storage, winter, for example. It keeps the bike streight and takes the load off the tires.

Hi, no, I haven't experienced strong vibration. 55-60 m/h is a normal speed for this bike.
Here (czcams.com/video/6a12a4xXAMc/video.html) I had my camera attached to many different parts of the bike, so you can see if it vibrates.
