Hi guys (and gals), new to the forum. I sold my shadow 750 in the fall and just yesterday bought a 98 Vulcan Classic 1500, between snow storms of course

. VERY excited, although I will have to wait a while until it warms up enough to ride it.
I was curious if anyone could help me identify what exact model I now own. I've tried entering my VIN# on the kawasaki site and the only info I get back is that it's a vulcan classic 1500. I'm looking for the letter ('N', 'C', 'E', etc.) so I can order a Clymer manual. If it helps any, it's a 5 speed (I believe they also made a 4 speed that year). I've emailed Kawasaki directly, no response yet. Also, the previous owner did not have the owner's manual, otherwise I would have checked there first!
