Thanks for the help guys. Just got back from SON accessories (The only part of SON I like) and they wouldn't even sell me a swing arm lift. Very simple reason... The Kawasaki Vulcan 500 LTD is a Cruiser. Which means I'm stuck using a lift that goes under the center of the bike which EXTRA sucks...

Weather seems to be toying with us but I'll be there. The roads are 95% dry and the wind is only a minor irritant every now and then. Pace will definitely be easy given the gusting wind/occasional puddles. I'm thinking about Royal Dist, but am game for whatever as long as it's west bound.

Not quite... There's no holes on the swing arm that don't have something blocking them. There's an oval shaped one towards the rear but has an aluminum(?) slider with ticks and a 2. Other than that the swing arm is completely clean. Keep in mind this is a Kawasaki Vulcan (cruiser style) and so I...

So I bought the PoopyTire stand. It appears that it doesn't work but came with a spool pack. Where do these go? I'm computer inclined not mechanically. Anyone in the Newmarket area that give me a hand getting this working? Of course our driveway isn't pristine so CT won't take the stand back as...

Well the traffic on this hasn't been stellar in terms of response but I'm still gonna give it a shot anyways depending on the weather of course. Weather networks says only 30-60% chance of rain between 1pm and 5pm with a high of 15. They're also saying less than 1mm of rain. Hopefully this is...

So I bought a Vulcan 500 thinking that a cruiser would be the best styling for me based on advice and feedback from people whom I grew up around that had a few years on both styles of bikes. What I'm noticing is that after about 1.5 hours of a non-stop ride my @55 is brutal sore and my lower...

When was the last time you parked in the GTA? There often ISN'T another option. Not one where you won't get asked to pay a fine from a blown off parking ticket from god knows when when you go for your registration renewal.

As per my original post this occured on the trip odometer. NOT the full mileage. That's already well over 8K km.

Now that's funny! I didn't even know TO had a Sesame street.

So the way that everyone does this on their own is with a back stand? I guess I'm going to have to go get one... Hence the second person required. One walker, one sprayer. Is the crappy tire one okay or is there a recommended option for cruisers?

"Can you tell me how to get.... How to get to Sesame Street?" lmao

I never claimed 3l1t3 h4x0r or even H4x0r status. Not only that it happened while cruising home. It was more of an amusing cruising occurence. What made this the wrong place to put it?

Anyone in the GTA (Don Valley/Richmond Hill/Aurora/Newmarket is preferred) wanna show me tonight how to do it on my own? So far I've been getting someone to help me whenever I do it but this is causing an issue where I'm going up to 2400km between lubes. What's the best oil for the chain?

I'm fairly new to the whole motorcycle experience but it seems a popular choice for V-Star's are the Vance & Hines pipes... maybe that's a point to start on?

Lol. Yep. Mines the 2005 which if I'm not mistaken is when they stopped making the 500cc Ninja. The Vulcan 500 uses the engine from the Ninja 500. Hence, Ninja Power.

So I was very happy when I bought my Vulcan. I've been loving the Ninja power but Goldwing soft ride. Then on my way home yesterday (with a dead phone battery! :crybaby:) I looked down to check my trip odo. I couldn't believe what I was seeing. I had stopped at a light on Don Mills (first north...

Okay it's sideways but it's there! lol. Took this at the waterfront (Beside a good burger joint Alexandros) on my way to my usual parking spot by the Queens Quay LCBO. Your target should you choose to find it: A trustworthy place to get accessories for your bike.

2 hours to target change. I work across the street from this one. Shouldn't be a problem to hit on my way to work.

Doing it in the morning.

Based on my experience with the Vulcan you could try StateFarm. I got rejected without a quote from Statefarm for it being a cruiser. I have my M1 with a perfect G record of over 10 years (I actually hold a D with perfect CVOR). They bounced me to Dalton-Timmis who then bounced me to TD before I...
