New to me Kawasaki Vulcan 500!

Added a new baby cruiser to the stable. 2006 Kawasaki Vulcan 500. Is faster than my old V-star 650 by a very noticeable amount! Very light weight and handles more like a sport bike than a cruiser, yet rides as silky smooth as any cruiser I have ridden to date. Was one owner with only 7900 miles on it! Brand spanking new tires and chain. Was too sweet a deal to pass up!
I only rode it for an hour today, then the rain set in. :-/
But it was one very enjoyable hour. :-D
Not going to do much to it. Add some Viking saddle bags, would LIKE a bigger windshield than the Honda rebel sized one that is on it now. Maybe have a buddy of mine who paints cars repaint it in some other color simply because all the Vulcan 500's from this generation I have ever seen are all this same color. It is a very beautiful metallic red. But, like I said, all of them are the same. If I do that will be a next winter project, cause it is time to RIDE!!!! :-D
