Thanks Paladin ... I can see 'em now ... nice pics mornhm ... is your wife's Vulcan the 800A (Custom)? I love the look of those ... how does she like the Vulc? Have you ridden it? How does it compare with the Savage? An aftermarket belt-drive conversion kit would make the 800A just about perfect!
I'm not sure why the pictures aren't showing up for you. They showed up fine for me if anyone has a suggestion about how I should have posted these let me know.
As far as the vulcan goes, It's a 500. She likes it fine. We went out riding yesterday again. It definitely has more get up and go than the Savage. She doesn't like the Savage - it has a bit too much personality for her
I've ridden her Vulcan - it's OK, but I prefer the Savage. If I was going to ride something different from the Savage, I'd like something with much more hp than either the Savage or her Vulcan.

8)Hi mornhm! Ahh ... your wife's Bike is the EN500 ... couldn't tell from the photos if it was the 500 or 800A ... anyhoo, I too have ridden a Vulcan 500 and it is a very nice machine ... that Ninja-based vertical twin powerplant has lotsa guts! Will agree with you about the "personality" thing ... the LS650 has gobs more "character" than the baby Vulcan ... the EN500 used to have belt-drive several years ago ... for some reason Kawi decided to replace it with a chain? The Vulcan 800 Custom & Classic models could benefit from a belt too, but sadly this modification is only available thru aftermarket for approx. $600USD for the kit ...

2004 Kawasaki Vulcan 800A
2005 Harley Davidson Softtail Standard
Both beautiful Bikes (OK the Kawi seat and pipes don't look as good as the Harley) ... doesn't bother me a bit that the Japanese manufacturers have looked to H.D. for their styling cues ... the Kawi is probably the better deal ... it's cheaper and every bit as reliable ... and a scootworks.com belt drive conversion would only make it better!
