Went for a ride today. Did about 200 miles. It was getting dark and I was almost home. No high or low beam on the headlight. The high beam indicator doesn't light up either. Anyone else run into that. An inspection of the filaments on the bulb, they look good. Anyone else lost all headlight while out riding?

Update. The filament was burnt out on the low beam. After pulling the headlight out now the high beam works. Hum. Didn't work before. Must have been a connection issue at the bulb on the high beam. Seems kind of unusual that both would happen at the same time to create the perfect storm of no headlight, out on the road at dark. Especially when the high beam worked earlier today

Made in Mexico...

Neal....had an old Harley Sportster. Headlight wiring made in Mexico. When people think of Harley, they think Made in USA. Not so. At least the headlight wiring wasn't. I drive a 2000 LT now. Much better than a Harley!

    Vulcan 2000
    So I have a 2004 VN2000 and I decided to do an oil change with some 20w50 mobil1 and a K&N filter. About 400 miles after the change, I developed a LOUD tick in the front cylinder head (I could hear it over the engine and wind noise on the highway doing 75, with full-face helmet and earplugs)...

  2. LED replacements for Tail Light and Turn Signals?

    Vulcan 2000
    So, now that I have my VN2KLT, I'm looking to do what I did on my old VN900LT and replace the tail light and turn signals with LEDs. Is there a replacement LED board for the tail light, that uses the existing housing, and does NOT have integrated turn signals in it? Just a bunch of red LEDs...

  3. Saddlemen Profiler Seat

    Vulcan 2000
    So I bought a Saddlemen profiler and the directions say I need the bracket from stock passenger seat. The bike came with a mustang. I’ve looked at the parts diagram and went to local kawai dealer and can’t get just the bracket. Saddlemen isn’t being much help either. Internet searches haven’t...

  5. Winter again

    Vulcan 2000
    Having my morning coffee in a snowstorm.....trying really hard to remember why I moved out here lol! I had my V2K out yesterday in the cold for about 8 hours. Fired it up to bring it back into the garage after moving all my saws (woodworking project) and it started to "clack" on the low left...
