I just bought an 05 with 3800 miles and rode her 300 plus miles home. Tractor trailers do not phase her...truly an epic motorcycle with awesome power. Nice one.
I bought mine in April, same bike, 2006 with 19767 miles. Mine had Cobra pipes and a Cobra fuel injection module on it. Loving this bike - the '2000s are such unicorns: Water cooled heads, air cooled jugs, over 1 liter per cylinder (125CID), it's the rarest of the Vulcans. If they brought the bike back with a six speed, I'd easily pay $20,000 for one.
I recently bought an '06 LTD and it has a short windshield and I'm 6'3" so the wind hits me in the worst way, how tall is the factory windshield the headlight to the top?
I'll have to measure it. I do have about an extra 2" I can raise it up. The wind hits the take and blows straight up in my face. I might try adding some lower wind deflectors. My friend did that to his 1700 Nomad and it did wonders. He made bigger ones than the ones it came with. I think they're the same diameter mounting clamps for the forks.
Sorry it took me so long to reply. I'm not sure what was on that bike. I actually don't have it anymore. I did some horse-trading with a couple of bikes. But yes it definitely did sound great.
I need to pull it and look to see if there is a sticker or stamp on it telling if anyone has yet. I haven't done anything to it yet. I'm glad you reminded me about it lol.
Oh I know. I just got Dunlops for my Voyager. It cost me $800 out the door. The only reason I can laugh about the VN 2000 is because how awesome it is that they have that much power. My tires have about 2K on them since I made this video and I can already see a good amount of wear on mine too.
Go darkside. I run a 205 65 16 on mine. Handles great, hooks up much better, corrects the speedometer somewhat, and cuts rpm slightly on the interstate. Also lasts 4 times longer at least!

do you want to sell it
Bought an 09 today it's a fantastic machine. Pulls like a train.
They're Unreal. I really miss having all that Torque. Have fun on that thing. And please stay safe!!! 👍

I just picked my 09 VN2000 up in June. Sounds like you're in Kentucky. I am in Richmond! Hope to see you out on the road sometime.
Nice bike, have fun out there
I have an 05. Love it.
Took mine in 2 tyres front brake pads. 2 spark plugs. 1100$ in parts.
Add the euro gears
If you can find a Euro gear, that will add a overdrive to your transmission
Sounds like a John Deere shifting. hehehe Nice bike!
I mount my vn2000 from the right side, is there any reason to mount from the left or is it just personal preference?
I just bought my first one 2006 Vulcan 2000 CLASSIC 35k miles on a BIC TRIKE Frame 6:28
What year model is your Vulcan 2000
I don't have it anymore. But it was a 2010. I miss it. Lots of torque...
圧倒的存在感🎉

May I ask what baffles you have in those Cobra Speedster slashdowns? Those pipes sound amazing. Are they the stock baffles??
Sorry it took me so long to reply. I'm not sure what was on that bike. I actually don't have it anymore. I did some horse-trading with a couple of bikes. But yes it definitely did sound great.
I had to replace the internal bearing for the front pully myself. Has anybody else had problems with that bearing not getting sufficient oil?
do you have a video of replacent?
I like the way the pipes sound. Are they stock?
I'm pretty sure they are. They look like ones I've seen in other people's videos.
Try to RPM match those down shifts, you won't have all that clunking...
Did you get the ECU flash I have 2004 VN2000

My '07 EATS rear tires, LOL, no matter HOW easy on the throttle I twist !
😅😅
@@frozensloth168 I'm not laughing when Cycle Gear tells me how much it IS !!!!!

@@frozensloth168 best ever, taking it VERY easy: 7K

Just never been a fan of belt drive
It’s shaft driven
@@jamiemoffatt50nope this baby is belt drive, and mine has zero issues after 30k miles
I have a 2001 Vulcan 1500. Love it but it’s slow.
I just bought an '04 1500 and it's in the shop, so I have yet to ride it. I can't imagine it being slow.
