i was sitting on that fence as well... this was my first bike, I weigh 240, and my wife about 140 and we ride 2 Up all the time. enough power for us. have got it up to 115 with her on the back and a the windshield on to pass a semi. Its FI so it will move. Just wish i had that sixth gear on the highway at 80. The next bike will be 1600 or larger and probably a tourer. But the 900 has the same power band as an 1100 carb.. hope that helps
@Gamera49 I had a 2006 Vulcan 900. Bought it as my first bike. Great bike if you are new to riding. Light and very easy to handle. Lacks on power, but still a great bike. I went backwards in years and bought a 2003 Vulcan 1600. I love that bike. Windshield, bags, Corbin seat, crash bars, pipes, power commander, and intake. Now that thing hauls ass. I would say if you want a good combo of power and ride, go with the 1600 or the 1500.
Nice bike (I've got a '08 900LT). I'm liking the sound and your pipes look good, I kept my stock exhaut but de-baffled. I'm not too crazy about the white walls, but to each his own. :) Enjoy the ride!!!
the are pretty loud, but DEEP, which is what I really wanted. IF you are familiar with Reinharts for HD's, it makes the 900 sound like 1500. I did notice the power increase. If you have a windshield though, do not ride with it on when you first put the pipes on, it will sound "too loud" and it really isnt. I like these a lot and get compliments on the look and sound all the time!
thanks, those are metzler marathon 880s the front is OEM size, but I believe the back is one size narrow/taller. I want to say they are 170s in the back. I hear the mich. commanders are pretty decent too. thanks for the compliment.
Sounds nice! Love the white walls. I am thinking about getting white walls for my Vulcan 900 Classic. What brand/size did you get? I haven't been able to find 180s for the rear.
Great look, nice sound, very nice bike!
Ride safe and have fun!!

I was considering a 900 cruiser bike, but was wondering if It was fast enough, and should look at a 1500 instead.

what kind of warranty do the pipes come with? i like these so much better than the cobras, but the cobras have a lifetime warranty.
djc2232 3 years ago
the warranty is only 90 days for workmanship and defects. doesnt cover bluing. But I have had these on for almost a year and no problems
