A few mods to the new bike. I replaced the rear seat with a luggage rack, got some chrome trim for the rear fender, added some crash bars, made and powder coated the backrest for the rider seat and mounted some custom mufflers. I like it with and without the bags and backrest :D

My wife has had another birthday - an annual event - and I decided to upgrade her bike with this new to us 2007 Kawasaki Vulcan 1500. I think it makes her happy! :D Saddlebags have been ordered and engine protection bars will finish it for her.

Update ... Christmas gift ... purchased and mounted the saddle bags and engine protection bar. I will likely remove the rear carrier rack since my wife doesn't need it doesn't really like the looks of it. She is pretty happy about the upgrades so far. :)

Happy wife, happy life. Merry Christmas to you and your family.

Thanks Bob. Actually was able to celebrate with both my daughters and their partners for the first time in 2 years. My eldest hadn't yet met her twin nephews so it was great that finally happened. We also got to celebrate the twins first birthday (21st) so its been a great week. :D

Hope you had a great Christmas as well. It is great being able to follow the progress on all your projects!
 
OK I like the Bikes :) but as an old 40+ year nostalgia Altered & FMD guy I have to ask about the blowen SBC altered in the background. What does it run? What motor & trans?[S

There is a build thread on here - Sheets & Giggles - that has all the details on the car build. So far I've gone a best 1/4 mile et of 8.21 and 166 mph. Its a 383 stroker build with a roller cam, ported brodix heads and a converted small bore 671 running on alcohol. Trans is a powerglide. I have a teflon stripped big bore 671 that I'll be putting on this winter and hopefully be able to go a bit quicker in the future.
 
The RCMP will love that one.:D

Maybe. The specs I read give it a top speed of 155 mph. I seriously doubt that I'll ever find out first hand. I did get the funky pajamas to go with it if I ever want to get silly though.
