Smith, I put some forward controls on my 2007, so I had it apart for a few weeks. I suffered the exact same symptoms as you did. Opposite of the normal problem. My clutch wasn't slipping, but rather, stalling the bike. I went so far as to bleed, and take the clutch apart. I looked here on...

I see what looks to be forward controls on one side in one of the pics. Do you have the original pegs? Thanks again, Pete

Hi Shawn, Thanks, I appreciate any and all info that you can provide. Peter van der Lugt, [email protected], 337-257-4057

Same question, I'm sincerely interested. I'd be willing to have it shipped. I'm in Lafayette, LA, but ACTIVELY looking for a garage kept, well running model!! Pete Lafayette, LA

I'm interested. Would have to ship via keyboard. Anything and everything you could tell me, and any pics would help. I am looking at several, but would like to make a decision in the next day or two. I won't waste your time.. Pete Lafayette, LA 337-257-4057

Still available? Would you be willing to send me some pics? [email protected]

Hi, Sorry for what happened. That is a bummer. Two things, what would you want for the seat, and also, how did you like that headlight setup? Isn't that an LED light? Pete Lafayette, LA

No, I agree, I enjoy driving. So I don't mind the round trip. Doesn't seem like it will work out with one seller. So I will be working with the other. The one I have found is a numbered bike. So that sounds like it is a plus. Cross your fingers for me, I'll be discussing with the seller...

I'm trying to put things together. There are two '85's in that same direction. So I hope to score one of the two. Hope to connect with both tomorrow and make a deal. Then, everyone pray for me, when I tell my wife what I've done!!!

Same here. Two messages now, and no reply. If it is an '85', shouldn't it be the red anniversary color? Or was that just a set number of "anniversary" editions? Pete Lafayette, LA

I had a 92 Vulcan 1500, I absolutely loved that bike!!!

Just re read your email, and see you mentioned a 2005 as well. Is it all the way in Vegas? I would love to hear about any that you know of, that you think are without issues. Obviously, lower the miles the better, and I should think, the later the year the better. I really go back and forth...

That particular bike is about 9 hours away from me. Not impossible for me to go pick up. Shipping seems like it could add to the cost pretty quickly.

The 2005's are definitely beautiful bikes. I love the red. Are you a dealer? Or just up to date on what's out there? There are a couple of 2005's that I see on Facebook at the moment. I've never bought anything off of FB, but that doesn't mean they aren't legit. One has 17,500 miles, and...

I really appreciate all of the input. Everyone's insight was helpful, everyone's. I think, I am going to go for the Gen II, provided I can strike a deal with this seller. It is a beautiful bike, surely benefits from newer technology. But let's face it, this bike has had a beautiful design...

I guess I should add this. I am in Lafayette, LA. I'm willing to travel quite a bit, for the right bike. I'm really looking for a Gen II, as close to original as possible, and the lower the miles, the better. Anyone that is considering selling a Gen II, please let me know. Thanks, Pete

Thank you all for the information. I understand very well, that everyone will have different opinion. But as I read them, I can understand better how people have formed their opinions. I currently have found two Gen I, both with about the same miles, both about the same price. Both swear...

Well said, I mean, that' s kind of my point. With a limited amount of "road time" to see if this "2nd gear" issue is a problem, I might be into some serious repairs on a bike that I paid $5000 for. Admittedly, that is not a lot of miles on the bike. But one might wonder, if the guy bought...

One other issue that has me a little apprehensive, is the 2nd gear issue mentioned frequently on this site. If I pay $5000 for a '98, and then find out I have this expensive issue, I would presumably be in for $1000 plus in repairs to fix the bike. And I'm not sure a small test drive on a...
