Welcome to the forums. Glad you found us.

 

Thanks.

 

Welcome to the forum!

 

that is some serious crap right there. 29k miles on the ride and this happens all of a sudden? I do not get it obviously. Did the Vulcan 2000 have a recall on this or something? Because 29k miles is not squat for mileage.

 

They had a recall on '04 & '05's. Mines an '09.
The only "good" thing is my mechanic said to maybe think of it as a weakest link,kinda like a shear pin on your snowblower.
You would rather have this repair than a pull the motor & split it repair.
It was designed so this repair is easy although it's also expensive.
It cost $900 to repair.
No hard saddlebags for me now,I can't afford them.

Welcome, Jam. Yeow; 900 smacks is alot. I think I'd tackle that one at home, instead of letting someone else hurt you.

As for the weather report....looks good to me! Get out and ride!

Glad to have you aboard! Thanks for the pics! Gear up; stay safe.
