I am new to the forum and I have started getting bored with the power of my bike, I think its time to upgrade.

I have a 1999 kawasaki vulcan classic, and I want to start upgrading it. I am looking into changing the cams but have been unable to find anything for my application. Does anyone else have cams in a similar bike? I have contacted crower camshaft and thay can regrind my stock cams, but that is a custom job which is relativly expensive. Also what other type of modifications do people normaly perform, I already have exhaust.

 

don't know but welcome to KF

 

Have you tried the basic pipes/jets/etc?Need more?
If you want to go large, ever considered a bore job? Cams may give you a bit more spunk, but likely won't give you what you want without additional flow, which a tick more displacement will give you.
I had an old 900F Honda that had a bore job and Andrews cams. It pulled great (although the old F's ran pretty hot, temperature-wise). I think the cams by themselves probably wouldn't have had as much impact, which I suspect may hold true for your Vulcan as well. They'll make your bike sound good, but they won't give you the kick you're after.

 

I already have exhaust, rejetted carb, and a k&n air filter. I was also going to get the head ported to go with the cams, but I had not considered a big bore yet. Thank you for the replies.

 

Depends on how much you want to spend, really. Cams will give you the "lope" and the port job will improve your existing flow, but I think you'd get a silly grin with a bore job, too. Trust me, you'll notice the difference.
