It's really about done. It now runs, shifts and goes pretty well, but still needs some fine tuning on it's carburation. Brakes are rebuilt but still a little sketchy, so I have to sort that out before its safely streetable. Can't recall on the Sporty's, but this one is right side shift AND has a reversed shift pattern so, no, its not easy to go back and forth from modern bikes to this thing.0 -
04 Vulcan Mean Streak....Pic is in the ticker and a few on profile0

I am envious of those that live south - in Ontario we have snow, cold and wind - I also have PMS
However, last couple years, we have been able to get out first weekend in March - so... crossing my fingers.
I have a yamaha Vstar 1100 - I love it - I love taking it south of the border to ride those awesome backroads in the mountains.0 -

Badd-*kitten* bike. Back in the day the bikes that bikers respected were Harleys, Indians, Triumphs, and Norton Commanders. Even a couple BSA's showed up a meets. This bike brings back some memories.
Thanks for sharing!!

Nice pair, Zosimah.
Cool Dakar, I love to see bikes that work for a living!0 -

That poor bike. Ridden hard and put up wet. Gas and oil changes are the only regular maintenance. That's a good thing since it's removing 14 screws to get to the battery! The BMW Motorrad have designed some amazing things, but someone should hire a mechanic to go over the plans before they are finished.0 -

Ha!
Laughing because I have a friend that rode one just like yours for several years. I listened to him cuss that thing many times for the same reasons.
Understand what your saying, too, I have a '99 Cagiva Gran Canyon that's just covered up with weird.0 -
Oh man. The Gran Canyon with the Ducati engine is the hidden secret of Adventure Bikes. You have a Cagiva and a restored Norton? Will you adopt me or at least move in next door?0

The Cagiva Gran Canyon was one of the bikes that first ignited my interest in bikes as a teenager.0

Yeah, I am hopelessly addicted. I looked for a Gran Canyon forever that was decent, and then found this one here in town.
