This one is more for the Kawasaki Vulcan 650 owner looking to mod or researching upgrades. But all are welcome. I love this bike, and I've done a ton of research into the mods and upgrades. As always, reach out to say hey or with any questions. Bought this brand new, and 13 months later have like 9,700 something miles on it. So yes, it's a great bike. Thanks for the support!
Also - did the first service at 750 miles - take it to a shop to not void the warranty. After that, all my own oil changes, and I clean and lube my chain every 300-500 miles.
All links to products are below, and below that are links to some of the videos and the article I used to do the actual work. Also, they are all legit links; I used a URL shortener to keep it clean, but they will all lead to RevZilla, Amazon, eBay, Kawasaki site, etc.
