Kawasaki Vulcan 2litre Update

Hello All !!;

As I sit here reading over the posts I remembered that I completely forgot about updating my
Dark Side brothers (and sisters   ) about my latest numbers regarding my Kawasaki
Vulcan and it's Michelin HydroEdge CT.

When I put it away in the early beginning of winter (late nov 2014 )
a quick check on my odometer totaled                                                                       78,868 km's or (49,006 miles)
Which calculates out to (if you've been following along with my previous posts)          35,802 km's or (22,246 miles)
since the initial install on my bike a couple of years ago.

My tread depth check measured out to 5/32's so last years season used about 2/32's up
Still keeping it at about a 38 to 40 p.s.i. and mostly single riding done (95%)

I did the bearings on both wheels last year and everything looked great
The only thing I'm not liking is the geometry change to the rear wheel due
to a slightly smaller pulley that I installed before the season started this last year.
(Less room between the rear most area of fender and the tire )

Yes, I'm still loving the ride , traction , braking  and longevity  of the CT and will be purchasing another CT
when this one wears out, (MT nay sayers haven't come close to convincing me otherwise )

Cheers and Happy New Year !!!!

Hello All !!;  

Still enjoy reading the posts.  
I remembered that it's time to give my annual update  
about my latest numbers regarding my Kawasaki
Vulcan and it's Michelin HydroEdge CT.

When I put it away this year in early December 2015 a quick check on my odometer totaled
                         thumbup                 80,659 km's or (50,119 miles)
Which calculates out to ( )        37,593 km's or (23,359 miles)
since the initial install on my bike a couple of years ago.

  37,593 km's since install !!!!!!!!!!!!
0 issues,
100% solid performance,
No tire cracking,
No premature aging  

My tread depth check measured out to 5/32's so last years season used 0/32's  
Still keeping it at about a 38 to 40 p.s.i. and mostly single riding done (95%)

Yes, I'm still loving the ride    , traction    , braking     and longevity     of the
CT and will be purchasing another CT when this one wears out,
(MT nay sayers haven't come close to convincing me otherwise    )

Also,,, Just picked up a 1987 Yamaha Venture Royale with a early to mid 80's Hannigan Comet
Sidecar and will be looking into just what CT fits on it........

Cheers and Happy New Year !!!!

Thank's for the update. So many put on a C/T and you never hear from them again. I have been darkside for around 7 years and would never go back the a M/T.
