Got a tip to further waterproof your Garmin. Get some hair spray and spray enough on a paper towel to make it wet. Then rub the hairspray on the seams of the unit. The hair spray will help form a seal. I have used exactly that method on My e bikes electric components. Not a single failure. It works.

your are the first person on youtube i see that put a windshield to that bike. i have just got the new honda rebel 500 and in the first moment i got it i knew a winshield was needed. why? because you can go fast without pain in your chest. a lot of people dont understand that and they just complain about it. i spent 700$ in accesories from thailand because i want to make it mine.i like the vulcan s, but as i wanted a bike that will last forever with me i chosed with my heart, is my dream bike since 2017, and now that i have my drive license and the new fixed rebel 2020 i finally bought it. i know that if i choose vulcan s , i will always think about the rebel. be safe and enjoy your ride.

Thanks, it was fun watching your video. I own a 2020 Vulcan S since November 2023. The first thing I modernized is the rear light unit. Because that is in my opinion the ugliest thing about the Vulcan S. I am happy with the result and the rear tire also looks much nicer.

Thank you. When I put my hand on Vulcan S, I will have to drive all the way to Texas helping me to copy you. 👍 I hoped to see some review about the bike itself as well.
Sun Shine Thank you Sun Shine! When it gets cooler here I will be doing a One Year Review in the bike. You’re welcome in Texas anytime. Thanks for your comment and hope you subscribe. -Tripp
I wonder why Kawasaki dealerships do not have all these mods shown in this video readily available. I am sure buyers would be interested in all these practical mods for extra cost. In short, what a sexy and useful bike ! Be safe and enjoy it.
Sun Shine Thanks much Sun Shine. Most dealerships do not have the space or the money to keep all that inventory in-house. Financially, they are better off ordering things when you need them.
Tripp On Two Wheels , so, if anyone would take this video to Kawasaki dealer and tell them : I want all these mods and here is $1000 deposit, would they buy all from outside and install them for me ?
Sun Shine They would install all of them for you, but many of them are not Kawasaki products and you would have to order them from Amazon or other companies. That’s basically what I did.
Awesome job. Love the bike! Found your channel when I started researching the Vulcan s. It’s between it and a rebel 1100. If I decide on the Vulcan I certainly will consider the mods you did when deciding what I want. Thanks for the video! You got a new subscriber
I also have the STS Smart Turn on my Bonnie. Had the same problem and it is down to those soft rubber pads you need to put in the switch to stop it latching, sometimes they dont crush enough to switch the indicator on thus you have to push harder. For now I have put a couple of small springs in each side of the switch out of an old pen and it works fine...for now... but these being small could tip and jam (as I foresee it) I have therefore ordered conical springs from Ebay 8 mm base dia. 5mm top dia. and 5 mm high. These cannot tip . I am still waiting for delivery and I will post again here and let you know how they fair. The Smart Turn is superb so dont despair I promise you it is the switch. Great Vid thanks.
Just started riding again after a 35 year lay off ,started small on a yamaha mt03 to build my confidence and now looking at the Vulcan S 650,hence my visit.
I have a Kawasaki 1600 and it’s like driving a dump truck lol. Thinking about a second smaller bike for zipping around on small back roads. Bigger isn’t always better 👍🏼
I'm seriously considering getting the Kawasaki Vulcan S and will refer back to your video once I get it. Thank you for the detailed description and links. 👍👌
Very informative video, thank you. That is such a nice bike. I don't own the Vulcan S but the more I research it the more I like it. I own a 2012 V-Strom 650 fully accessorized with GIVI cases and you're so right about the cases not being water tight. I had an extra jacket in one of the cases that had mildewed because of that but I still like the cases. Safe riding.
I enjoyed watching your informative video ,considering buying a used Vulcan EN500 ,your Bike looks awesome,I may change my mind and buy a black one like yours,thank you again .Ride safely and often.
Good luck with your bike shopping! I highly recommend the Vulcan S over the 500 - so many benefits. Thanks for your comment and kind words distest, I hope you subscribe. -Tripp
Hey T. O. T. W., I have to agree with the rates you gave each item! To get a Vulcan S 650, I will revert back to this video & get these sames mods for my 650 S. That "booster plug" would be a "MUST" because of the EXTREME engine braking issue and getting "thrown over" the handle-bars because of it! Doug🏍️👍 Doug
First, I like your Vulcan S and the mods, very tasteful and proportionate to the bike, not gaudy like some others I have seen. I almost bought a used one last fall, but asking price did not justify what was essentially the basic bike. I ride an EN 500 that I am very happy with. A Honda convert, if you can believe it ! I hope I am within your target number for the Shoei helmet giveaway. I cannot afford a $$$$$ helmet, but it would be great to win one in a draw. Great vid, I am looking forward to some prime youtube viewing.
Jay Damhar Thanks Jay. The Vulcan S is quite plentiful on the used market in many places and you should be able to find a good deal on a low mileage bike. Where do you live? I don’t remember if you have subscribed. Hope so! -Tripp
@@trippontwowheels I am in Saint John, New Brunswick, Canada. I have subscribed to your channel. Hope you see me on there. If not, tell me how to fix it. I am not so good at computer stuff. Thanks foe the replies.
Now that I have seen the mods that you have done to this bike, I may change my mind on another motorcycle I was thinking of purchasing. The Vulcan S looks to be a very capable motorcycle for any persons needs. Really appreciate you sharing your mods and rating of them.
Absolutely love everything youve done with the bike. I'm looking for a very similar setup. Was bouncing back and forth between buying the 650 and the 900. Think youve sold me on the 650. Great video! Great mod list!
Dave B Both are great bikes but unless you’re going to ride a lot more long distances I’d go with the Vulcan S. Thanks for your comment, hope you subscribe. -Tripp
I love the gear indicator, hard cases, GPS, exhaust, seat and backrest...all but the auto-off indicators, and the helmet lock. Otherwise, I love all of the other mods you've added. Brilliant. 👍🏻👍🏻
#17 found @ 17:35. I bought this from H&B...absolute over priced junk. 👎🏼 The back rest sits too far back from the rider and it’s much too small. Terrible product from H & B . Great video with lots of cool mods. 👍🏼 thumbs up and thanks for posting the video.
Casey Simon Interesting take. Personally I absolutely love the backrest. As an extended reach driver it works great for me, but I can see where it might not be as effective with a standard or reduced reach seat. IMO it’s anything but junk. Overpriced yes! Thanks for your comment Casey! -Tripp
Love your videos I bought same bike this year. 2019 Vulcan S ABS. Just bought the windscreen (medium- I'm shorter than you), 12V outlet with relay. Keep the videos coming!
Good video! I've been slowly adding to my Vulcan S, as the wallet allows haha. I've got the givi racks as well, a backrest, some kuryakyn floorboards, and the same kqr windshield. I'd love to add the lightbar, but they don't come blacked out... I use the Kriega Drypacks on the givi racks, they look good in my opinion, but some people hate that I've made my Vulcan into a motocamper. Also have a quadlock on it for the phone. Just need to get me a tank bag and radiator guard now.
Code Monkey I always enjoy hearing what people do to their bikes. Thanks for letting us know what you’re up to with your KVS Code Monkey. Good luck with things to come!
I like all mods/accessories youve got! theyre all there for a huge help, protection and purpose and most off all I like the rider of vulcan S....he is the man!
Thank you for this detailed review. I have the 2019s Vulcan S as a special touring edition (large windshield, leather saddlebag kit and passenger backrest) and some additional features. These are black handguard brackets, a plug socket and heated grips. Especially the heated grips are awesome with 5 different steps to choose. Since last year I‘ve been driven about 5400 kilometers and the standard seat doesn‘t feal uncomfortable to me. I don‘t like a tankbag, I always carry a little backbag at each ride.
Very nice! You must not live in the US as I don’t ever recall seeing your limited edition option available here. Wonderful bike isn’t it? Thanks much for your comments Leyla, hope you subscribe. -Tripp
Tripp On Two Wheels You‘re right I live in Europe and we have other special editions than in the USA. People here buy a lot of bikes with touring features and love driving allong narrow and curvy streets and make tours through the Alps or other mountain chains. So especially the BMW GS 1200 is the most sold bike. But that is not my favorite. I love cruiser style like the Vulcan and this is the best alternative to an Idian or Harley.
@@trippontwowheels sadly I'm the only biker in the family. I do have biker friends and I tell you what, you will be mentioned in conversation. All the very best to you.
Thank you for the good review. My first mods are always comfy grips, crash bobbins, decat/exhaust and ecu flash. Would like to see you review a ecu flash on the bike. Power corrupts, LOL!!!
@@trippontwowheels I love 'em. Longer rides feel more comfortable, plenty of space to move your feet about rather then hook 'em over a peg. They don't get in the way too much but will reduce lean angle as they're the first to scratch the road. Would recommend them if your feet get uncomfortable.

Very useful review! I like the way you set up your gear indicator and 12v plug. I am currently in the market for the Vs. Good to know about the Booster Plug as well. I pretty much like all your mods except the bags. But, good to know that can be an option for a longer road trip. I would like to hear that Exhaust without the db limiter. Is there an option for cruise? Very nice ride overall though. I'd rate it a 9 out of 10! (Only because of the bags...)🤘😎🤘
Kapil Chauhan Just about. Have a couple small things left to get. Probably a throttle lock and some mini floorboards. Thanks for your comment Kapil. Hope you subscribe. -Tripp
Hi . You have a nice bike and some great mods. I imagine there is a knack or technique to mounting the bike with the backrest added?. Listening to your explanation of the mods reminds me of Fr Mulcahy from MASH! (that's a Brit compliment by the way)
Thank you for this informative video! I have enjoyed your videos and I just subscribed to your channel. I've had a Vulcan S for about 4 months now. One of the major mods I'd like to make is to install the Arrow Rebel Exhaust. Do you think it REQUIRES a Booster Plug or Power Commander to be installed with it, or can I do a straight up replacement?
James R You should be able to do a straight up replacement although I’d recommend a Booster Plug. It’s 1/3 the cost of the Power Commander, really smoothes out the power band, greatly reduces engine braking and it increased my gas mileage! Thanks for your question James, hope you subscribe. -Tripp
Oh wow! Cool looking church. The vid was informative. Like. The S would be better if it had a crossbow holder on the back and grenade launcher on the front.....and a cupholder. Lol I like the bike, unsure about those pannier cases but they are growing on me.
I like the mods especially the windshield as I'm 5'8. I like the single seat though I'd add a top box. Shame it doesn't come with a CENTRESTAND- bit of a deal breaker for me.
I agree with the windshield, I really like mine. I too wish this bike had a center stand option. Someday? Thanks for your comments Andrew, hope you subscribe. -Tripp
Go for it Fred! As you know, I like my Corbin. Can you tell me more about how the Booster Plug has changed your bike's performance? Thanks much for your comment. Hope you subscribe! -Tripp
@@corneilcorneil Great minds think alike. The other two bikes I considered instead of the Vulcan 900 and the Versys 650. If the 900 would have had an ABS option and a sixth gear, that would have probably been the winner!
Looks good. Those R&G pegs you're not thrilled about may have a solution. Idk what diameter they are but you might be able to get a pair of black rubber grips off of a children's bike, and slide them over the pegs. If they are a tough loose, you could zip tie them or use wire to secure them on there. Just a thought.
I wish I could afford all this stuff, most of it looks awesome and utilitarian. I really wanted to grab a pair of those hardbags but goodness that price tag is nuts. Good lookin bike man!
Thanks much Carpe! I feel your pain man. Took me a while to save the money for all the mods. They certainly aren't cheap, but IMO they are worth it. All except for the helmet lock and the turn signal turner offer things. :) Hope you subscribe! -Tripp
Carpe Noctem I have the givi hard cases on my Vulcan. They are not totally waterproof and need the waterproof inserts in heavy rain. But brilliant otherwise.
i spent 1200 dollars all together on the givi monokey system.... fully half of that was a matching pair of trekker 33s (33 liter hard cases) and it was worth every penny... with givi monokey you have to realize you only need to buy those cases once.... the system to mount them to the bike needs to be bought for every bike you own/ move on to... but the cases will mount to any monokey system. and if you eventually buy bigger and smaller bags you can adapt to what space you actually need. if you have the 22 liter cases you can throw those on when your only going ona day ride and want to bring your lunch or some water with you.. or if your going to go and pick someone up... you can load the 44s on a monokey and store 2 full faced helmets if needed.
I agree with you saying the Vulcan S sounds like a sewing machine, especially when its first started and idling. I didn't like the looks of the stock muffler. It reminds me of a bomb attached to the bottom of a World War II dive bomber. I like the idea of a concealed exhaust on my Vulcan S, but I needed more sound coming out of it. I ended up buying a CS Racing exhaust for mine. It wasn't cheap, around $700.00 which includes taxes and shipping, but its well worth it. It took a little while to get it, but still worth it. It blends into the bike very well and looks practically concealed.
Yes and the bike is wonderful and extremely capable now. I'm happy with all but 1 or 2 of them. Thanks for your comment TJ, I hope you subscribe. -Tripp
Chad Bolling It does now Chad. Only the 2015 and possibly the 2016 models didn’t come equipped. It was added in either 2016 or 2017. Thanks for your comment, I hope you subscribe if you aren’t already! -Tripp
Good video . I wish you would have stated prices and sellers for all mods . I recently purchased a 2015 Vulcan s abs to replace my 2001 Vulcan 750 . The 750 is a superior bike compared to the 650 s and any other cruiser I've owned . I still love the Vulcan s and plan on customizing it to be the perfect mid sized cruiser / touring bike . I found the givi side cases but can't find the mounting hardware and brackets . Also unable to find a Corbin seat for this bike . Any input would be helpful .
Thanks for your comment and questions bomber, I hope you subscribe. I plan on putting all of that into a future video sometime within the next month. You should be able to find the mounting racks pretty easily by googling them. I bought mine from a vendor in Italy because they were on sale during Black Friday.
Great review, great looking bike with all the mods. I've got a Lava Orange version here in the uk. Mods on mine include LED daytime lights, heated grips, Hepco and Becker top box and rack (excellent quality) and the Kawasaki power socket. I did fit a screen but didn't rate it much, but then it was a cheap Chinese knock off. Agree on the stock seat, it's rubbish. Mine is going to an upholsterers tomorrow to be sorted. Ride safe
Oddly, I just found your comment today Paul. Hope you are still enjoying your KVS. Sounds like you've made some good choices with the bike. I'd love to know more about your top box. Thanks for your comment. -Tripp
@@trippontwowheels I got the top box and rack on eBay. A chance find. Someone was upgrading to panniers and listed it. I got it for £85 including the rack. I'm not sure of the model numbers, I'll try and find out.
Sorry about that! I think everything gets an ad every 5 minutes. I’ll see if that can be reduced. Thanks for your comment and good luck finding your KVS. You’ll love it! -Tripp
Shave down the rubber pad inside the signal switch to improve responsiveness of the STS. Check out some Versys 650 mirrors to help eliminate blind spots. I love the Kawasaki windshield because it's easy to remove!
Nice review. The moral of the story is get better panniers. They should be waterproof. When I put "Stuff" in the hard bags on my 1979 R 100 RT it doesn't matter how hard it rains...... My "stuff" stays dry.
Thanks man for the video. I have a Vulcan S and I didn’t you could buy some many things for it, you have them all!!!! 🤣🤣🤣 Good to know you are a Texan, I am from Spain and I spent 11 years in Texas and I just loved it, I wish I could go back. Can you let us know about the booster plug? I have read something about it and I have my doubts, did you install it yourself and was it hard? Thanks again for the video.
Tripp On Two Wheels thanks man, I will look into it more deeply. What about the STS breaking system, did you install it or did you have somebody do it for you? I have to do a video on my mods which are quite similar but not so many. One thing you should look into is replacing the back light with the Puig tidy system and also change the blinkers with LED ones which is the next thing I will do.
Very useful video... few of the mods are not "my thing" and I would go for dual USB plug instead of cigarette plug type... but for a newbie I have learned a lot! Thank You!
Séa Dubhlánaig Sounds good, I’d love to check it out. Do you have a link or know where I can find them? Thanks for your comment Sea, hope you subscribe. -Tripp

Absolutely great video, I’m buying a Vulcan s next spring, you just answered about every question I had about mods for bike,thank you buddy
Congrats Tom! You’re going to love the bike.
@@trippontwowheels thanks buddy,like you I want to do some longer trips with it, so Corbin seat and windshield and side bags are first things I’ll do. Does Corbin have a solo sept with a back rest or would I have to do like you and order backrest separately, looks like you got back rest and luggage rack in one shot
Thank you. When I put my hand on Vulcan S, I will have to drive all the way to Texas helping me to copy you. 👍 I hoped to see some review about the bike itself as well.
Sun Shine Thank you Sun Shine! When it gets cooler here I will be doing a One Year Review in the bike. You’re welcome in Texas anytime. Thanks for your comment and hope you subscribe. -Tripp
that seat and backrest combo is amazing! I need that for my next bike!!!!
Arif Khan Good idea. I swear by them. Thanks for your comment Arif, I hope you subscribe! -Tripp
I wonder why Kawasaki dealerships do not have all these mods shown in this video readily available. I am sure buyers would be interested in all these practical mods for extra cost. In short, what a sexy and useful bike ! Be safe and enjoy it.
Sun Shine Thanks much Sun Shine. Most dealerships do not have the space or the money to keep all that inventory in-house. Financially, they are better off ordering things when you need them.
Tripp On Two Wheels , so, if anyone would take this video to Kawasaki dealer and tell them : I want all these mods and here is $1000 deposit, would they buy all from outside and install them for me ?
Sun Shine They would install all of them for you, but many of them are not Kawasaki products and you would have to order them from Amazon or other companies. That’s basically what I did.
Tripp On Two Wheels 👍🙏
Sun Shine Where do you live and do you ride a Vulcan S?
Nice video, helped me get an idea of what types of mods to consider for my recently purchased Vulcan S.
Thanks for your kind words Adam! Glad I could be of help. Hope you subscribe. -Tripp
Awesome job. Love the bike! Found your channel when I started researching the Vulcan s. It’s between it and a rebel 1100. If I decide on the Vulcan I certainly will consider the mods you did when deciding what I want. Thanks for the video! You got a new subscriber
Thanks Charlie! Much appreciated. Ride safe brother.
Yet another very thorough video all about the Vulcan. Thank you for all this information.
Thanks Dan!
I also have the STS Smart Turn on my Bonnie. Had the same problem and it is down to those soft rubber pads you need to put in the switch to stop it latching, sometimes they dont crush enough to switch the indicator on thus you have to push harder. For now I have put a couple of small springs in each side of the switch out of an old pen and it works fine...for now... but these being small could tip and jam (as I foresee it) I have therefore ordered conical springs from Ebay 8 mm base dia. 5mm top dia. and 5 mm high. These cannot tip . I am still waiting for delivery and I will post again here and let you know how they fair. The Smart Turn is superb so dont despair I promise you it is the switch. Great Vid thanks.

Excellent video Tripp,you got yourself a new subscriber.I like your style and attention to detail.Thanks.
Ian Hamilton Thanks Ian! Glad to have you. What are you riding these days? -Tripp
Just started riding again after a 35 year lay off ,started small on a yamaha mt03 to build my confidence and now looking at the Vulcan S 650,hence my visit.
I have a Kawasaki 1600 and it’s like driving a dump truck lol. Thinking about a second smaller bike for zipping around on small back roads. Bigger isn’t always better 👍🏼
Highly recommend the Vulcan S. You can get great used ones for under $4000 now. Thanks for your comment Johnny, hope you subscribed! -Tripp
I'm seriously considering getting the Kawasaki Vulcan S and will refer back to your video once I get it. Thank you for the detailed description and links. 👍👌
I ride the 2020 version. Absolutely love it. With the exception of the stock saddle. Appreciate your insight on the modifications!
Glad you like your bike! Much appreciated Tom. Where you from?
@@trippontwowheels St. Joseph Island, Ontario Canada. I also frequent Burleson/Joshua.
Very informative video, thank you. That is such a nice bike. I don't own the Vulcan S but the more I research it the more I like it. I own a 2012 V-Strom 650 fully accessorized with GIVI cases and you're so right about the cases not being water tight. I had an extra jacket in one of the cases that had mildewed because of that but I still like the cases. Safe riding.

I enjoyed watching your informative video ,considering buying a used Vulcan EN500 ,your Bike looks awesome,I may change my mind and buy a black one like yours,thank you again .Ride safely and often.
Good luck with your bike shopping! I highly recommend the Vulcan S over the 500 - so many benefits. Thanks for your comment and kind words distest, I hope you subscribe. -Tripp
Hey T. O. T. W., I have to agree with the rates you gave each item! To get a Vulcan S 650, I will revert back to this video & get these sames mods for my 650 S. That "booster plug" would be a "MUST" because of the EXTREME engine braking issue and getting "thrown over" the handle-bars because of it! Doug🏍️👍 Doug
Thanks Doug! Hope you end up with your Vulcan S soon. Terrific bike. Where you from?
First, I like your Vulcan S and the mods, very tasteful and proportionate to the bike, not gaudy like some others I have seen. I almost bought a used one last fall, but asking price did not justify what was essentially the basic bike. I ride an EN 500 that I am very happy with. A Honda convert, if you can believe it ! I hope I am within your target number for the Shoei helmet giveaway. I cannot afford a $$$$$ helmet, but it would be great to win one in a draw. Great vid, I am looking forward to some prime youtube viewing.
Jay Damhar Thanks Jay. The Vulcan S is quite plentiful on the used market in many places and you should be able to find a good deal on a low mileage bike. Where do you live? I don’t remember if you have subscribed. Hope so! -Tripp

@@trippontwowheels No problem, no worries.
Now that I have seen the mods that you have done to this bike, I may change my mind on another motorcycle I was thinking of purchasing. The Vulcan S looks to be a very capable motorcycle for any persons needs. Really appreciate you sharing your mods and rating of them.
Absolutely love everything youve done with the bike. I'm looking for a very similar setup. Was bouncing back and forth between buying the 650 and the 900. Think youve sold me on the 650. Great video! Great mod list!
Dave B Both are great bikes but unless you’re going to ride a lot more long distances I’d go with the Vulcan S. Thanks for your comment, hope you subscribe. -Tripp
Nice bike! Thank you for sharing all your mods.

I love the gear indicator, hard cases, GPS, exhaust, seat and backrest...all but the auto-off indicators, and the helmet lock. Otherwise, I love all of the other mods you've added. Brilliant. 👍🏻👍🏻

#17 found @ 17:35. I bought this from H&B...absolute over priced junk. 👎🏼 The back rest sits too far back from the rider and it’s much too small. Terrible product from H & B . Great video with lots of cool mods. 👍🏼 thumbs up and thanks for posting the video.
Casey Simon Interesting take. Personally I absolutely love the backrest. As an extended reach driver it works great for me, but I can see where it might not be as effective with a standard or reduced reach seat. IMO it’s anything but junk. Overpriced yes! Thanks for your comment Casey! -Tripp
Love your videos I bought same bike this year. 2019 Vulcan S ABS. Just bought the windscreen (medium- I'm shorter than you), 12V outlet with relay. Keep the videos coming!
Good video! I've been slowly adding to my Vulcan S, as the wallet allows haha. I've got the givi racks as well, a backrest, some kuryakyn floorboards, and the same kqr windshield. I'd love to add the lightbar, but they don't come blacked out... I use the Kriega Drypacks on the givi racks, they look good in my opinion, but some people hate that I've made my Vulcan into a motocamper. Also have a quadlock on it for the phone. Just need to get me a tank bag and radiator guard now.
Code Monkey I always enjoy hearing what people do to their bikes. Thanks for letting us know what you’re up to with your KVS Code Monkey. Good luck with things to come!

Thank you for this detailed review. I have the 2019s Vulcan S as a special touring edition (large windshield, leather saddlebag kit and passenger backrest) and some additional features. These are black handguard brackets, a plug socket and heated grips. Especially the heated grips are awesome with 5 different steps to choose. Since last year I‘ve been driven about 5400 kilometers and the standard seat doesn‘t feal uncomfortable to me. I don‘t like a tankbag, I always carry a little backbag at each ride.
Very nice! You must not live in the US as I don’t ever recall seeing your limited edition option available here. Wonderful bike isn’t it? Thanks much for your comments Leyla, hope you subscribe. -Tripp
Tripp On Two Wheels You‘re right I live in Europe and we have other special editions than in the USA. People here buy a lot of bikes with touring features and love driving allong narrow and curvy streets and make tours through the Alps or other mountain chains. So especially the BMW GS 1200 is the most sold bike. But that is not my favorite. I love cruiser style like the Vulcan and this is the best alternative to an Idian or Harley.
Makes perfect sense. Thanks for being a viewer Leyla!

@@trippontwowheels They're worth it!
That's right! I had forgotten you had put floorboards on your bike. How do you like them so far and why?
@@trippontwowheels I love 'em. Longer rides feel more comfortable, plenty of space to move your feet about rather then hook 'em over a peg. They don't get in the way too much but will reduce lean angle as they're the first to scratch the road. Would recommend them if your feet get uncomfortable.
UncleRed Do they have metal scrape pads on the bottom?
Bailed after probably the fifth or sixth O'Reilly ad. Was liking the review though.

Add the inner fender eliminator and a throttle lock to top everything off. :)
The throttle lock is something on my list. The fender I actually prefer stock. Thanks for your comment! -Tripp
Very useful review! I like the way you set up your gear indicator and 12v plug. I am currently in the market for the Vs. Good to know about the Booster Plug as well. I pretty much like all your mods except the bags. But, good to know that can be an option for a longer road trip. I would like to hear that Exhaust without the db limiter. Is there an option for cruise? Very nice ride overall though. I'd rate it a 9 out of 10! (Only because of the bags...)🤘😎🤘
Thanks JD! The exhaust without the baffle is featured in another one of my videos on this channel. Check it out and hope you subscribe. -Tripp

Hi . You have a nice bike and some great mods. I imagine there is a knack or technique to mounting the bike with the backrest added?. Listening to your explanation of the mods reminds me of Fr Mulcahy from MASH! (that's a Brit compliment by the way)
Hi Blackie! No real technique with the backrest - just bolt it on. Thanks for the compliment.
Thank you for this informative video! I have enjoyed your videos and I just subscribed to your channel. I've had a Vulcan S for about 4 months now. One of the major mods I'd like to make is to install the Arrow Rebel Exhaust. Do you think it REQUIRES a Booster Plug or Power Commander to be installed with it, or can I do a straight up replacement?
James R You should be able to do a straight up replacement although I’d recommend a Booster Plug. It’s 1/3 the cost of the Power Commander, really smoothes out the power band, greatly reduces engine braking and it increased my gas mileage! Thanks for your question James, hope you subscribe. -Tripp
@@trippontwowheels Thank you!
Oh wow! Cool looking church.
The vid was informative. Like.
The S would be better if it had a crossbow holder on the back and grenade launcher on the front.....and a cupholder. Lol
I like the bike, unsure about those pannier cases but they are growing on me.
It is a very cool looking little church. I drive by it often but have never been inside. Thanks for your kinda words Barry. Hope you subscribe. -Tripp

Thanks Ken!
I like the mods especially the windshield as I'm 5'8. I like the single seat though I'd add a top box. Shame it doesn't come with a CENTRESTAND- bit of a deal breaker for me.
I agree with the windshield, I really like mine. I too wish this bike had a center stand option. Someday? Thanks for your comments Andrew, hope you subscribe. -Tripp
Booster plug made a huge difference. Thinking about upgrading the seat now
Go for it Fred! As you know, I like my Corbin. Can you tell me more about how the Booster Plug has changed your bike's performance? Thanks much for your comment. Hope you subscribe! -Tripp
I did subscribe, It smoothes out the throttle response in 1st/2nd gear.
Thanks Fred! Yes, it behaves the same way on my bike with the bonus of greatly reducing engine braking. Glad you're happy with it.
@@trippontwowheels, i have the Booster Plug om my VN900. It works perfect. Less backfire, stable trottle, more power in the lower rpm's. Worth to buy.
@@corneilcorneil Great minds think alike. The other two bikes I considered instead of the Vulcan 900 and the Versys 650. If the 900 would have had an ABS option and a sixth gear, that would have probably been the winner!
All decked out. Very nice!
Thanks conceptcs! Hope you subscribe. :)
Looks good. Those R&G pegs you're not thrilled about may have a solution. Idk what diameter they are but you might be able to get a pair of black rubber grips off of a children's bike, and slide them over the pegs. If they are a tough loose, you could zip tie them or use wire to secure them on there. Just a thought.

Thanks much Carpe! I feel your pain man. Took me a while to save the money for all the mods. They certainly aren't cheap, but IMO they are worth it. All except for the helmet lock and the turn signal turner offer things. :) Hope you subscribe! -Tripp
Carpe Noctem I have the givi hard cases on my Vulcan. They are not totally waterproof and need the waterproof inserts in heavy rain. But brilliant otherwise.
Someday I’ll need to get a pair of the inserts. It’s a pain in the butt getting stuff wet! Thanks for your comment Philip, hope you subscribe! -Tripp
i spent 1200 dollars all together on the givi monokey system.... fully half of that was a matching pair of trekker 33s (33 liter hard cases) and it was worth every penny... with givi monokey you have to realize you only need to buy those cases once.... the system to mount them to the bike needs to be bought for every bike you own/ move on to... but the cases will mount to any monokey system. and if you eventually buy bigger and smaller bags you can adapt to what space you actually need. if you have the 22 liter cases you can throw those on when your only going ona day ride and want to bring your lunch or some water with you.. or if your going to go and pick someone up... you can load the 44s on a monokey and store 2 full faced helmets if needed.
@@philipirving38 you dont need inserts.... man just get a dry bag that is the capacity of your side cases. and load your cant get wet stuff in there.
I agree with you saying the Vulcan S sounds like a sewing machine, especially when its first started and idling. I didn't like the looks of the stock muffler. It reminds me of a bomb attached to the bottom of a World War II dive bomber. I like the idea of a concealed exhaust on my Vulcan S, but I needed more sound coming out of it. I ended up buying a CS Racing exhaust for mine. It wasn't cheap, around $700.00 which includes taxes and shipping, but its well worth it. It took a little while to get it, but still worth it. It blends into the bike very well and looks practically concealed.
FYI: Blind spot mirrors can be purchased at your local Auto zone store
Very true!
Nice job 😎👍

Good video . I wish you would have stated prices and sellers for all mods . I recently purchased a 2015 Vulcan s abs to replace my 2001 Vulcan 750 . The 750 is a superior bike compared to the 650 s and any other cruiser I've owned . I still love the Vulcan s and plan on customizing it to be the perfect mid sized cruiser / touring bike . I found the givi side cases but can't find the mounting hardware and brackets . Also unable to find a Corbin seat for this bike . Any input would be helpful .
Thanks for your comment and questions bomber, I hope you subscribe. I plan on putting all of that into a future video sometime within the next month. You should be able to find the mounting racks pretty easily by googling them. I bought mine from a vendor in Italy because they were on sale during Black Friday.
Love the mods
Great review, great looking bike with all the mods. I've got a Lava Orange version here in the uk. Mods on mine include LED daytime lights, heated grips, Hepco and Becker top box and rack (excellent quality) and the Kawasaki power socket. I did fit a screen but didn't rate it much, but then it was a cheap Chinese knock off. Agree on the stock seat, it's rubbish. Mine is going to an upholsterers tomorrow to be sorted. Ride safe
Oddly, I just found your comment today Paul. Hope you are still enjoying your KVS. Sounds like you've made some good choices with the bike. I'd love to know more about your top box. Thanks for your comment. -Tripp
@@trippontwowheels I got the top box and rack on eBay. A chance find. Someone was upgrading to panniers and listed it. I got it for £85 including the rack. I'm not sure of the model numbers, I'll try and find out.
Very nice and happy to hear it. Thanks Paul!
Good video...except I have already had to see 5 ads...overboard man. But great mods. Can't wait to buy mine.

I subbed today to get in in that new helmet .. videos are good too😂
Shave down the rubber pad inside the signal switch to improve responsiveness of the STS. Check out some Versys 650 mirrors to help eliminate blind spots. I love the Kawasaki windshield because it's easy to remove!
MrEye4get Good ideas my friend. Thanks!
Nice review. The moral of the story is get better panniers. They should be waterproof. When I put "Stuff" in the hard bags on my 1979 R 100 RT it doesn't matter how hard it rains...... My "stuff" stays dry.
Just a small correction - PUIG crash bars also fit with extended foot peg possition.
Thanks man for the video. I have a Vulcan S and I didn’t you could buy some many things for it, you have them all!!!! 🤣🤣🤣 Good to know you are a Texan, I am from Spain and I spent 11 years in Texas and I just loved it, I wish I could go back. Can you let us know about the booster plug? I have read something about it and I have my doubts, did you install it yourself and was it hard? Thanks again for the video.
Zaska Channel I had a mechanic install it. Please have no doubts, the Booster Plug is the real deal. Www.boosterplug.com
Tripp On Two Wheels thanks man, I will look into it more deeply. What about the STS breaking system, did you install it or did you have somebody do it for you? I have to do a video on my mods which are quite similar but not so many. One thing you should look into is replacing the back light with the Puig tidy system and also change the blinkers with LED ones which is the next thing I will do.
