Kawasaki Vulcan 1600 Classic "Projectcan"
Engine will get Thunder Hi-performance 95" kit installed, with matching air intake etc. Clutch has already been upgraded some yars ago. Nitro or turbo might be a later option but have to make this work first. Let's see...
Exhaust might stay as it is now, 2-to-1 but a short 2-2 system could look and work as well. No decision on this yet.
Suspension:
Bike will be lowered by about 1" back and front. Fork will have a 7deg. change as well.
Wheels & Tires:
Rear will go from original 16" to 18" and front from 16" to 19". Lower profile tires naturally as well; 160/60 in the rear and 120/70 in the front.
Body:
Frame will not be modified, only smoothed and re-painted. Fenders most likely will be carbon fiber and tank will get a much cleaner look and matching paint scheme with the new fenders. Floorboards are history, a set of forward controls will be installed.
Lights, mirrors etc. will all be changed; not quite sure yet about some of final options.
Original seat will get a new life; it will be used for making a new solo seat.
Actually the model is Vulcan 1500 Classic but this option was not selectable. Anyhow, the engine displacement will increase...
